User-defined bandwidth for a source array cannot be set greater than 400 MB/s with GUI
The source array bandwidth setting may be user-defined up to 1600 MB/s. However, the MPX200
manager for Data Migration Services GUI 3.0.1 does not allow a bandwidth greater than 400 MB/s.
This will be corrected in a later release. Use the MPX200 CLI migration command
set array
to set
the source array bandwidth greater than 400 MB/s.
iSCSI notes
iSCSI Initiators may not reconnect following a blade reboot. Cases include firmware update or
maintenance. If a blade has been rebooted for any reason, check all the connections of all initiators;
a re-login may be required. If maintenance is required for both blades, ensure connections are
reestablished to the first blade before proceeding to the next.
Mac server sleep mode
The ATTO Mac iSCSI Initiator does not support Mac server sleep mode. If sleep mode is enabled,
and the Mac server goes to sleep, the initiator can lose iSCSI connectivity to the logical unit numbers
(LUNs).
If the ATTO Mac iSCSI Initiator is installed, disable Mac server sleep mode.
Windows drops the IP connection
Certain I/O workloads can cause Windows to drop the IP connection, resulting in removal of a LUN.
To restore the IP connection, reboot the system. To avoid dropped connections:
Reduce the I/O workload.
Reduce the application transfer size.
