Exchange Replication Fails After Uninstalling HIT Kit If you are uninstalling the version 4.5.0, 4.5.1, 4.6.0, 4.7.0, or 4.7.1 HIT/ME kits on a host that has Exchange servers configured and performing replication (using DAGs), the replications can fail due to an issue with the trim driver. The driver is not updated correctly while open handles to the PS Series group volumes are involved in the replication. To avoid this issue, suspend all Exchange replication before updating or installing the HIT/ME kit. SQL Server HIT/ME supports online backup and quick restore of SQL Server databases using the Auto-Snapshot Manager GUI. See Platforms Affected for supported versions of SQL Server. The following constraints apply when using HIT/ME with SQL Server: • Auto-Snapshot Manager does not support SQL Server database object recovery (such as recovering table data). This recovery is available only by using the Restore as New Database option, and by other manual tasks. • You cannot use Auto-Snapshot Manager to create Smart Copies of multiple databases that span iSCSI volumes. This procedure might result in torn Smart Copies of any database not selected for the Smart Copy operation. Dell recommends that you create a collection that includes all the database volumes to avoid torn Smart Copies. • Selective restoration of databases sharing similar PS Series volumes might take a long time. The file system's copy operation replaces only the selected database files. • If you select the Apply log option for a single database in a database collection, all the databases remain in a restoring state when the Auto-Snapshot Manager restore process completes. Hyper-V Refer to the Dell EqualLogic ASM/ME User's Guide before you attempt any operations using Hyper-V. Known Issues This section describes known issues in HIT/ME version 5.3. Known Issues with PowerStore Import The following are known issues when the PowerStore import feature is enabled: • The driver for the PowerStore import capability blocks the ability to create or delete a clone or smart copy using ASMCLI commands. ASMCLI commands are unaffected if the driver for the PowerStore import capability is not installed. • When you change the load balancing policies in ASM snapshot manager, the MPIO setting updates the driver load balance policy immediately. There is no need to reboot to update MPIO load balancing policy. However, the changes to the load balancing policy are not reflected in the ASM snapshot manager UI. • When the PowerStore import capability is installed you cannot add or remove the existing components of the package or change the import option. Workaround: Uninstall and reinstall the package with the required components.
