EMC AX100 Release Notes - Page 28

Technical notes Linux server notes Admsnap Admsnap does not support Linux 2.2 kernels. Snapshot management The reboot of the Linux server may be slow if deactivated snapshots exist. Activating the snapshots allows the reboot to complete normally. VMware ESX Server configuration and usage notes Also see the notes in the "Installation" section. General limitations The following configuration limitations and caveats apply regardless of whether Navisphere Express or Navisphere Manager is used to manage an AX100-series storage system. Š Use of the Navisphere Server Utility View/Update Server to SP connections option under a guest OS running in a virtual machine will cause incorrect server information to be displayed in Navisphere. Use this option only under the ESX Server™ Service Console. Access to user data will not be affected. Š SnapView source virtual disks provided by the AX100-series storage system must be configured on an ESX Server system as raw device mappings (RDMs). Virtual devices that are not used for SnapView™ snapshot operations may reside on VMFS Volumes. Š VSS is not supported. Navisphere Express limitations The following configuration limitations and caveats apply when an AX100-series storage system is managed using Navisphere Express. Š Snapshots cannot be assigned to ESX Server. This is not a restriction for Navisphere Manager. Š When using RDMs, the source virtual disk can be assigned to only one ESX Server. This is not an issue for Navisphere Manager. 28 EMC AX100-Series Integrated Management Software Release Notes
