considers the storage array to be a first-time installation. For the MD vCenter Plug-in to recognize the storage array, perform the following actions: a. Remove the storage array from the MD vCenter Plug-in. b. In MDSM, rename the storage array. c. Re-add the storage array to the MD vCenter Plug-in. Long Timeout for SAS ESX Host Wizard Operation When attempting to configure SAS HBAs on an ESX/ESXi host with unsupported SAS HBA cards, the wizard may not timeout after 15 minutes. To fix the issue, close and restart the vSphere Client. Storage Administrator Privileges assigned to user Group not working If the storage administrator privileges are assigned to a user group, the privileges are not detected for the individual users within the group. Storage administrator privileges must be assigned at the user level. Save Dialog Does Not Appear when Attempting to Save Array configuration or MEL If clicking on the save button does not bring up the save dialog box, clicking on the Save button a second time will launch the proper save dialog box and allow for completion of the action. NOTE: If Internet Explorer Enhanced Security is enabled on the vSphere Client system, a non-secured address for the application server must be added to the trusted sites list. Error Loading Arrays Message Displayed In some configurations, when upgrading from a previous release of the MD vCenter Plug-in, an "Error Loading Arrays" message may be displayed when accessing the array manager from the new installation. This is caused by stale cache data within Internet Explorer. Clearing the browser cache and restarting the vSphere Client will resolve the issue. Entering an Invalid Alternate Controller IP Address Causes Duplicate Array Entries When adding a new array, entering IP addresses from two separate storage arrays will cause duplicate storage array entries within the Array Manager view to appear. Remove duplicate storage arrays from Array Manager and re-add them with the correct IP addresses for each storage array. Add Array DNS Field is Limited to 30 Characters When attempting to add a storage array to the Array Manager using a DNS name, the input field is limited to 30 characters. To resolve this issue, either specify the storage arrays IP address(es) or create an alias DNS names shorter than 30 characters for the target storage array. Event log viewer scroll bar goes beyond the limit. When viewing details of MEL events within the MEL view, the right-side scrollbar goes beyond the limit of the displayed panel. Closing and reopening the window will reset the scrollbar for the current entry. Figure 47. Scrollbar Beyond Limit Dell MD Storage Array vCenter Plug-in | 59
