Fixes, Fixed an issue where media errors were not leading to a disk drive being removed from service. - manual

Page 4 highlights

• Improved ability to communicate with a controller after it has been shut down, to improve restart behavior. • Enhanced the SNMP community string to support strings that contain dash and underscore characters. • Improved the SNMP Notification page in internationalized systems that uses non-ASCI characters, such as Japanese. Fixes • Fixed a problem detecting the number of disk drive bays in an expansion enclosure. • Fixed the issue that all drives spun up concurrently when a single power supply was in use. If only a single power supply is functioning, disk drives now spin up in a staggered manner. • Fixed a situation where a SATA disk drive may be dropped from a vdisk during a firmware up- grade. • Fixed a problem where user credentials were reset to default values when controller A was replaced. • Fixed an issue where the vdisk number was mis-reported. • Fixed an issue where a firmware upgrade did not error out when an invalid package was used. • Fixed an issue that allowed a user to set the independent cache mode to an unsupported config- uration. • Fixed an issue that a reconstructing vdisk would report as completed when just beginning the re- build. • Fixed an issue where a failed disk drive might cause a controller to stall. • Fixed an issue where correctable ECC errors caused a scrub failure. • Fixed a problem where a scrub error was reported when, in fact, the background scrub was manually stopped. • Fixed an issue where an offline vdisk might not be appropriately quarantined when an array is powered up. • Fixed an issue where the array did not correctly report all supported persistent reservation types. • Fixed an issue where deleting a vdisk failed. • Fixed an issue that, while deleting a snapshot, could lead to an error and cause the snapshot to not be deleted. • Fixed an issue where a quarantine event caused a scrub error. • Fixed an issue where media errors were not leading to a disk drive being removed from service. • Fixed a situation where IO requests during a failover would fail out with the following error message: "Request not supported". • Fixed a problem where failover did not occur, even when a component failed. • Fixed a situation where reconstruction progress stuck at 0%. • Fixed a rare timing issue that lead to a drive enclosure not being discovered on a reboot. • Fixed an issue that lead to drive enclosure firmware update failure. • Fixed a problem where a LUN reset did not clear same sector reads. • Fixed an issue where a controller failover lead to IP settings being lost. • Fixed an issue where a Windows OS might see a volume that does not exist at LUN 0. • Fixed an issue where both storage controllers became unresponsive when a disk issue caused a general protection fault to be delivered to both controllers. • Fixed an issue that could cause a storage controller to crash while I/O is being written to a RAID 6 vdisk that is in a critical state. • Fixed a timing issue that lead to a controller becoming unresponsive. 4

Fixes
Fixed a problem detecting the number of disk drive bays in an expansion enclosure.
Fixed the issue that all drives spun up concurrently when a single power supply was in use. If only
a single power supply is functioning, disk drives now spin up in a staggered manner.
Fixed a situation where a SATA disk drive may be dropped from a vdisk during a firmware up-
grade.
Fixed a problem where user credentials were reset to default values when controller A was replaced.
Fixed an issue where the vdisk number was mis-reported.
Fixed an issue where a firmware upgrade did not error out when an invalid package was used.
Fixed an issue that allowed a user to set the independent cache mode to an unsupported config-
uration.
Fixed an issue that a reconstructing vdisk would report as completed when just beginning the re-
build.
Fixed an issue where a failed disk drive might cause a controller to stall.
Fixed an issue where correctable ECC errors caused a scrub failure.
Fixed a problem where a scrub error was reported when, in fact, the background scrub was
manually stopped.
Fixed an issue where an offline vdisk might not be appropriately quarantined when an array is
powered up.
Fixed an issue where the array did not correctly report all supported persistent reservation types.
Fixed an issue where deleting a vdisk failed.
Fixed an issue that, while deleting a snapshot, could lead to an error and cause the snapshot to
not be deleted.
Fixed an issue where a quarantine event caused a scrub error.
Fixed an issue where media errors were not leading to a disk drive being removed from service.
Fixed a situation where IO requests during a failover would fail out with the following error message:
Request not supported
.
Fixed a problem where failover did not occur, even when a component failed.
Fixed a situation where reconstruction progress stuck at 0%.
Fixed a rare timing issue that lead to a drive enclosure not being discovered on a reboot.
Fixed an issue that lead to drive enclosure firmware update failure.
Fixed a problem where a LUN reset did not clear same sector reads.
Fixed an issue where a controller failover lead to IP settings being lost.
Fixed an issue where a Windows OS might see a volume that does not exist at LUN 0.
Fixed an issue where both storage controllers became unresponsive when a disk issue caused a
general protection fault to be delivered to both controllers.
Fixed an issue that could cause a storage controller to crash while I/O is being written to a RAID
6 vdisk that is in a critical state.
Fixed a timing issue that lead to a controller becoming unresponsive.
