Use SmartStart's iSCSI Host Configuration wizard to configure the target from SmartStart. 1.4.4 SmartStart Does Not Create a Shortcut to the HP 3PAR Management Console for Standard User Accounts (Bug 79283) Because SmartStart runs as "Administrator," SmartStart does not create HP 3PAR Management Console program shortcuts for standard user accounts. Workarounds: • Open the HP 3PAR Management Console from the Management Console folder (/bin/imc.exe). • Create shortcuts manually. 1.4.5 Adding a Virtual Volume to Windows Fails if the Windows Disk Label Contains an Apostrophe (Bug 80267) If the Windows disk label contains an apostrophe, the Add Virtual Volumes to Windows task fails.
