recommended that you use static addresses for all servers to minimize the risk of
connectivity problems.
13.
May lose a network interface if NICs are connected at different speeds and one
NIC gets updated as static/dhcp.
setting.
Initiator
1. The TimeOutValue in Windows Registry under Disk subsystem needs to be increased to
150 seconds or more, to avoid Delayed Write failures when using iSCSI.
2. Support for greater than 2TB iSCSI Disk is possible only with Windows 2003 SP1 and
other OS that support 64 Bit SCSI LBA.
3. Windows might prompt for installing drivers when logged on to targets, which have a
special AMI SCSI processor device. There is no need to install drivers. This device
is for internal communication only. Simply click on Cancel.
4. Windows 2000 NTFS file system on top of an ISCSI Thin provisioned volume might run
out of space in container even though the file system used space is less than the
container size. Alternative is to use Exact provisioned
5. Sometimes if an iSNS server's status is displayed as inconsistent, remove and add
the iSNS server back to get the correct status message.
6. ISNS: when you register your iTX device with a new iSNS server, the list of nodes
registered with that server will not become automatically available. You have to use
the "update –t noderegistrations iscsi" CLI command to update that list.
7. The Adaptec 7211C iSCSI HBA initiator is not supported.
High Avalabilty Failover
1. A HA (high-availability) pair can only be accessed using an initiator with the iTX
DSM. Microsoft's Default MPIO will not work with iTX HA and will result in data
corruption. You will need to uninstall it prior to installing the DSM.
2. The DSM-MPIO requires the latest HAK to be installed as well.
3. HA is supported on the 3100i and handles power failures (bug 7084). The 1100i does
not support HA failover for power loss or local Ethernet switch failure.
4. After failover, the primary state may show up as 'Remote Unreachable', although, the
pair has become in-sync and all other aspects of the system are fine.
ManageTrends
1. If ManageTrends displays a HTTP 500 or 404: IO File not found exception, restart the
itxweb service from the ITX shell prompt, by using the following command "service
itxweb restart".
2. If system date time is changed, then page may return timeout error. User needs to
refresh the browser manually.
3. While changing the user password in Mozilla browser, Ignore browser password manager
dialog
Protocols
1. Sometimes after a non-graceful shutdown, Apple Shares (using AFP) may not work
properly. In this case, it is necessary to delete folders .AppleDB and .AppleDouble
from the iTX box manually. These folders are hidden and can be located
in/volumes/container_volumename/apple folder.
2. Only CIFS protocol supports ADS user
3. If you enable https for added security, then the unsecured http access will be
disabled. However, since https is dependent on http, the 2 protocols will be shown
as Enabled.
The lost NIC can be reset to its previous
volumes.
