Update the Pool Mapping Entry If You Move Delegated Space When you move delegated space from one pool to another pool for a partner, the pool mapping entry (if any) does not automatically get updated. You must manually change the pool mapping. User Interface Launching Group Manager as an Application Generates Exception If you launch Group Manager as an application, when you click Run, the following error might display: Error. Click here for details. When you click for details, the error Illegal Argument Exception is displayed. This error can be ignored, because Group Manager will still successfully launch as an application. Click Ignore to continue. Group Manager GUI and CLI Provide Different Options When Creating Thin Clones When you create a thin clone, the default for the Group Manager CLI is different from the default for the GUI. The CLI puts the clone of the template into the same folder as the template. The GUI defaults to not putting the clone into any folder, but allows you to check a box and select a folder. Rear View Power Supply Status Reported Incorrectly Group Manager does not show the latest information on rearview power supply status. If you switch to the front view, and then back to the rear view, the correct status will display. GUI Logout Event Does Not Ooccur in MacOS Environments With Safari Browser Only When using a macOS with the Safari browser only, the GUI logout event is not generated when the logout operation is performed. Using the GUI With Tabbed Web Browsers You can run multiple instances of the Group Manager GUI in separate tabs. When running multiple GUI instances, Dell recommends that you launch the GUI instances one at a time to avoid scenarios in which multiple login dialog boxes are displayed at the same time. Otherwise, the Javamachine might become unresponsive and the browser application must be restarted. In Firefox, you can run only one instance of Group Manager in a browser window. JAWS Screen Reader Issues • JAWS Screen Reader Software Reads Coding Tags-When SyncRep is configured, a SyncActive volume is created as well as the SyncAlternate volume. You can disconnect the SyncActive volume by selecting a volume configured for SyncRep, Activities > SyncRep . • Attempting to disconnect the SyncActive volume opens a dialog box and the JAWS screen reader software reads the tags, such as P left brace padding..., before finishing with the contents of the dialog box. • JAWS Screen Reader Does Not Read the Validation Column in the Replica Set Placement Tab-The Manage Delegated Space - Replica Set placement tab contains a Validate Primary Pool Names button. When this button is activated, it tries to validate the pool names specified in the table with those on the partner. The Validation column of the table is updated to reflect the status of each user-supplied pool. At this time, JAWS does not read this column. • JAWS Reads HTML Tags for All Columns in Virtual Machines and Virtual Disk Tables-In VMware virtual machines, the HTML tags are read for all the columns in the Virtual machines and Virtual disk tables. Error Displays When You Run Group Parameters If you log in to the CLI as the pool administrator, and run the grpparams vss-vds access-policy show or grpparams vss-vds access- policygroup show command, the following error is displayed: Error: Too many parameters. Virtual Volumes Do Not Modify or Delete ACLs Associated to the PE Using the CLI, users can inadvertently eliminate access to the protocol endpoint (PE), and impact their intended VVol access rules. Dell has placed many restrictions on CLI operations to prevent inadvertent misconfigurations, although they might still occur. For this reason, Dell requires the use of VSM (Virtual Storage Manager) for the creation or manipulation of ACL rules for protocol endpoints (associated with VVols). If an access rule is inadvertently removed using the CLI, it will become immediately obvious by inspecting the specific PS group being managed by VSM and navigating to the Manage > Protocol Endpoint screen. Any ESX host without access to the PE will be labeled with a red exclamation point (!). You can press the allow button to allow access again for this host or any other chosen hosts. Group Manager Does Not Display Virtual Machine Description Information The Virtual Machine description column in Group Manager displays as empty. The value can be retrieved from the vCenter UI by accessing the Summary field under the Notes tab.

SyncAlternate volume. You can disconnect the SyncActive volume by selecting a volume configured for SyncRep,

Do Not Modify or Delete ACLs Associated to the PE
Using the CLI, users can inadvertently eliminate access to the protocol endpoint (PE), and impact their intended VVol access rules. Dell
has placed many restrictions on CLI operations to prevent inadvertent misconfigurations, although they might still occur. For this reason,
Dell requires the use of VSM (Virtual Storage Manager) for the creation or manipulation of ACL rules for protocol endpoints (associated
with VVols).
If an access rule is inadvertently removed using the CLI, it will become immediately obvious by inspecting the specific PS group being
managed by VSM and navigating to the
Manage

screen. Any ESX host without access to the PE will be labeled with
a red exclamation point (!). You can press the allow button to allow access again for this host or any other chosen hosts.
Group Manager Does Not Display Virtual Machine Description Information
The Virtual Machine description column in Group Manager displays as empty. The value can be retrieved from the vCenter UI by accessing
