Fixed problems
EMC AX100-Series Integrated Management Software Release Notes
SAN Copy/E problems fixed in version 02.19.002.5.014
Problem
Details
Having SAN Copy/E enabled on the storage system
can cause the storage processor (SP) to become
unmanaged [130364]
Frequency of occurrence
:
Very Frequent
Effect
: Having SAN Copy enabled on the storage system
causes a memory leak, which can cause the Navisphere Host
Agent to exceed its memory threshold. If the agent exceeds this
threshold it will stop causing the SP to become unmanaged.
Prevention/resolution
: Fixed in 02.19.002.5.014
Navisphere Express problems fixed in version 02.19.100.5.042
Problem
Details
Access violations within Navisphere Express will
cause the storage processor to panic.
Frequency: Rarely under a rare set of
circumstances.
[160065]
Navisphere Express experienced an access violation while
holding a PSM file open.
This caused a timer to expire and
panic the SP.
Navisphere Express now avoids the access
violation and also opens PSM files differently so that it will not
get stuck while having a PSM file open.
Navisphere Express will continue showing an alert
for snapshot resources being greater than 50%
consumed even after the snapshots have been
removed.
Frequency: Always under a specific set of
circumstances.
[140485, 161193]
Navisphere Express will now reset the alert once the
snapshot is removed.
It will also include an option to Dismiss
the alert.
Navisphere Express was hitting an access violation
inside of the main processing thread.
It was then
continuing through the main process loop with out
waiting for the next iteration.
This was causing
Navisphere Express to take up most of the CPU
cycles on the storage processor.
Frequency: Rarely under an rare set of
circumstances.
[162392]
Navisphere Express now handles the access violation better
and will wait for the timer to expire before continuing through
the next iteration of the main process loop.
Navisphere Express problems fixed in version 02.19.100.5.041
Problem
Details
When a language pack is installed on the storage
system, creating a virtual disk does not work as
intended. The storage system uses all remaining
space in the Disk Pool and creates one LUN.
Frequency: Always under a specific set of
circumstances.
[155446]
Navisphere Express was comparing the localized unit string
specified by the user against the specific English string
options of “GB” and “MB” to determine what the user had
selected. In most cases a match was not made which caused
Navisphere Express to default to binding all of the available
space. The localized selection by the user is now compared
against the localized versions of “GB” and “MB”.
