Issue: Under rare circumstances, some events from one controller are not seen on the other controller.
Workaround: Review the events from both controllers.
Issue: The following commands in the Command Line Interface (CLI) do not always return the complete output:
•
show vdisk-statistics
•
show controller-statistics
•
show disk-statistics
•
show host-port-statistics
•
show volume-statistics
Workaround: Run the command again.
Issue: Java script issues are seen when using Microsoft Internet Explorer in multi-byte language locales, resulting
in truncated messaging and hung pop-up windows. These issues will be resolved in future a firmware release.
Workaround: This is a display problem only. When a pop-up window remains on screen with no update for
a prolonged period, close and then re-open the browser. The Internet Explorer English locale and the Firefox
browser will not exhibit the issues.
Issue: In SLES 11 environments, when using the iSCSI initiator tools included in SLES 11, the host will
occasionally not correctly log into the iSCSI array on reboot, even when set to automatically connect.
Workaround: Restart the iSCSI service on the SLES 11 host. This can be done by entering the following
command: /etc/init.d/open-iscsi restart
Issue: SLES 11 may require multiple minutes (15+/-) to create all multipath devices during boot. This typically
involves a system with a large number of LUNs and multiple LUN paths.
Workaround: None. Wait for the system to complete LUN and path discovery.
Issue: SLES 11 SP1 may not create all devices during boot. This typically involves a system with a large number
of LUNs, multiple LUN paths, and the SLES 11 SP1 open-iscsi utilities.
Workaround: Do one of the following:
• Install the following Novell patches:
• kpartx-0.4.8-40.23.1.x86_64.rpm
• libvolume_id1-128-13.11.4.x86_64.rpm
• multipath-tools-0.4.8-40.23.1.x86_64.rpm
• open-iscsi-2.0.871-0.22.1.x86_64.rpm
• udev-128-13.11.4.x86_64.rpm
• Run the /sbin/multipath -v 0 command to force multipathd to rescan all LUNs and paths and create
any devices that were not correctly created before.
Issue: RHEL 5 Update 5 will not shutdown properly when using the iSCSI initiator utilities shipped in RHEL 5
Update 5 to access the array.
Workaround: See issue 583218 on the Red Hat Bugzilla bug-tracking system
