EHCM Might Drop Sessions When Using Broadcom or QLogic HBAs for

iSCSI

EHCM service updates the Maxconnections Registry for some of the adapters. This Maxconnections Registry must be a non-zero value

when using multiple connections.

Apply the following registry entries to prevent EHCM sessions to volumes from being dropped when using HBAs (iSCSI Offload):

•

Host— [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\EqualLogic\EHCM\HBA\Broadcom Corporation\Broadcom NetXtreme II C-NIC

iSCSI Adapter]

MaxConnections"=dword:00000080

•

QLogic drivers—: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\EqualLogic\EHCM\HBA\QLogic Corporation\QLogic C-NIC iSCSI

Adapter]

MaxConnections"=dword:00000080

Restart EHCM service.

ASM Error When Updating to Window Server 2016 or Windows Server

Core 2016

After updating the operating system from Windows Server 2012 R2 to Windows Server 2016 (including Windows Server Core 2012 R2 to

Windows Server Core 2016) with HIT/ME version 5.0.0 installed, ASM generates an error message. At this point it is no longer possible to

perform any operations from ASM.

To correct this issue, perform the following steps:

1.

Run Windows Update and confirm you are running the latest version of the Windows Server 2016 software. If additional updates are

available, install them before continuing.

2.

Re-run the HIT/ME installation kit to re-register the VSS provider.

Windows 2016 Schedules Not Running When Re-Enabled

After disabling and re-enabling a schedule, the schedule does not perform the scheduled task.

Workaround: When enabling a schedule, change the trigger start date and time to a new date and time when the scheduled task should be

performed.

Set-ASMCollection Cmdlet Not Functioning as Designed

When using the

Set-ASMCollection

PowerShell Tools cmdlet to change a collection name and modify its components,

Set-

ASMCollection

should replace the existing components with the specified components. Instead,

Set-ASMCollection

appends the new

components to the existing components.

Installing SCVMM 2012 R2 UR5 Causes EqualLogic Storage Discovery

Issues

When Update Rollup 5 (UR5) is installed for System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 R2, SCVMM encounters issues discovering

EqualLogic Storage and reports that EqualLogic Storage was already discovered.

To resolve this issue, install Update Rollup 6 (UR6) or the latest available update rollup.

Windows 2016 SharePoint Components Not Enumerated After Fresh

Install of HIT Kit

After installing HIT/ME in an environment consisting of a Windows 2016 host with SQL 2016 and a Windows 2016 host with SharePoint

2016, the left panel of the ASM GUI shows the components in a

Warning

state and the farm components are not enumerated.

To correct (or prevent) this issue, download and install

Microsoft update KB3118289

for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2016. You can find

this update at:
