International License Agreement for Non-Warranted Programs
|
||||
|
||||
Part 1 - General Terms
|
||||
|
||||
PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE PROGRAM.
|
||||
Adaptec WILL LICENSE THE PROGRAM TO YOU ONLY IF YOU FIRST ACCEPT THE
|
||||
TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. BY USING THE PROGRAM YOU AGREE TO THESE
|
||||
TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT,
|
||||
PROMPTLY RETURN THE UNUSED PROGRAM TO THE PARTY (EITHER Adaptec OR
|
||||
ITS RESELLER) FROM WHOM YOU ACQUIRED IT TO RECEIVE A REFUND OF
|
||||
THE AMOUNT YOU PAID.
|
||||
|
||||
The Program is owned by (Adaptec) or a supplier of Adaptec
|
||||
and is copyrighted and licensed, not sold.
|
||||
|
||||
The term "Program" means the original program and all whole or
|
||||
partial copies of it. A Program consists of machine-readable
|
||||
instructions, its components, data, audio-visual content (such
|
||||
as images, text, recordings, or pictures), and related licensed
|
||||
materials.
|
||||
|
||||
This Agreement includes Part 1 - General Terms and Part 2
|
||||
Country unique Terms and is the complete agreement regarding the
|
||||
use of this Program, and replaces any prior oral or written
|
||||
communications between you and Adaptec. The terms of Part 2 may
|
||||
replace or modify those of Part 1.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1. License
|
||||
|
||||
Use of the Program
|
||||
|
||||
Adaptec grants you a nonexclusive license to use the Program.
|
||||
|
||||
You may 1) use the Program to the extent of authorizations you
|
||||
have acquired and 2) make and install copies to support the
|
||||
level of use authorized, providing you reproduce the copyright
|
||||
notice and any other legends of ownership on each copy, or
|
||||
partial copy, of the Program.
|
||||
|
||||
If you acquire this Program as a program upgrade, your
|
||||
authorization to use the Program from which you upgraded is
|
||||
terminated.
|
||||
|
||||
You will ensure that anyone who uses the Program does so only in
|
||||
compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
|
||||
|
||||
You may not 1) use, copy, modify, or distribute the Program
|
||||
except as provided in this Agreement; 2) reverse assemble,
|
||||
reverse compile, or otherwise translate the Program except as
|
||||
specifically permitted by law without the possibility of
|
||||
contractual waiver; or 3) sublicense, rent, or lease the
|
||||
Program.
|
||||
|
||||
Transfer of Rights and Obligations
|
||||
|
||||
You may transfer all your license rights and obligations under a
|
||||
Proof of Entitlement for the Program to another party by
|
||||
transferring the Proof of Entitlement and a copy of this
|
||||
Agreement and all documentation. The transfer of your license
|
||||
rights and obligations terminates your authorization to use the
|
||||
Program under the Proof of Entitlement.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2. Proof of Entitlement
|
||||
|
||||
The Proof of Entitlement for this Program is evidence of your
|
||||
authorization to use this Program and of your eligibility for
|
||||
future upgrade program prices (if announced) and potential
|
||||
special or promotional opportunities.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
3. Charges and Taxes
|
||||
|
||||
Adaptec defines use for the Program for charging purposes and
|
||||
specifies it in the Proof of Entitlement. Charges are based on
|
||||
extent of use authorized. If you wish to increase the extent of
|
||||
use, notify Adaptec or its reseller and pay any applicable charges.
|
||||
Adaptec does not give refunds or credits for charges already due or
|
||||
paid.
|
||||
|
||||
If any authority imposes a duty, tax, levy or fee, excluding
|
||||
those based on Adaptec's net income, upon the Program supplied by
|
||||
Adaptec under this agreement, then you agree to pay that amount
|
||||
as Adaptec specifies or
|
||||
supply exemption documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
4. No Warranty
|
||||
|
||||
SUBJECT TO ANY STATUTORY WARRANTIES WHICH CAN NOT BE EXCLUDED,
|
||||
Adaptec MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
|
||||
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE WARRANTY OF NON-INFRINGEMENT
|
||||
AND THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
|
||||
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, REGARDING THE PROGRAM OR TECHNICAL SUPPORT,
|
||||
IF ANY. Adaptec MAKES NO WARRANTY REGARDING THE CAPABILITY OF THE
|
||||
PROGRAM TO CORRECTLY PROCESS, PROVIDE AND/OR RECEIVE DATE DATA
|
||||
WITHIN AND BETWEEN THE 20TH AND 21ST CENTURIES.
|
||||
|
||||
The exclusion also applies to any of Adaptec's subcontractors,
|
||||
suppliers, or program developers (collectively called
|
||||
"Suppliers").
|
||||
|
||||
Manufacturers, suppliers, or publishers of non-Adaptec Programs may
|
||||
provide their own warranties.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
5. Limitation of Liability
|
||||
|
||||
NEITHER Adaptec NOR ITS SUPPLIERS WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT OR
|
||||
INDIRECT
|
||||
|
||||
DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, LOST
|
||||
SAVINGS, OR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR OTHER ECONOMIC
|
||||
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF Adaptec IS INFORMED OF THEIR
|
||||
POSSIBILITY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR
|
||||
LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE
|
||||
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
6. General
|
||||
|
||||
Nothing in this Agreement affects any statutory rights of
|
||||
consumers that cannot be waived or limited by contract.
|
||||

terms of this Agreement. If Adaptec does so, you must immediately
|
||||
destroy the Program and all copies you made of it.

|
||||
obligations due to causes beyond its control.
|
||||
|
||||
Adaptec does not provide program services or technical support,
|
||||
unless Adaptec specifies otherwise.
|
||||
|
||||
The laws of the country in which you acquire the Program govern
|
||||
this Agreement, except 1) in Australia, the laws of the State or

Law and will be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
|
||||
English courts; 4) in Canada, the laws in the Province of

Series 7, and Adaptec Series 6 controllers. It is not backward
|
||||
compatible with older Adaptec controller models.
|
||||
|
||||
o maxView Storage Manager is not supported on FreeBSD. Use
|
||||
ARCCONF to create and manage arrays.
|
||||
|
||||
o maxView Storage Manager and legacy Adaptec Storage Manager (ASM)
|
||||
cannot coexist on the same system.
|
||||
|
||||
3.4 Remote Access
|
||||
|
||||
maxView Storage Manager requires the following range of ports
|
||||
to be open for remote access:
|
||||
|
||||
o 34570-34580 (TCP)
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
See also Section 4.12 for OS-specific issues and workarounds.
|
||||
|
||||
3.5 Windows 8 Setup
|
||||
|
||||
To log in and use maxView Storage Manager on a Windows 8 system,
|
||||
you must create a local user account; you cannot use your
|
||||
MS Live account. To create a local user account:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Log into your MS Live account.
|
||||
2. Select Settings->Change PC Settings->Users->Switch to Local user.
|
||||
3. Provide account details.
|
||||
4. Start maxView Storage Manager and log in with your local user
|
||||
account credentials.
|
||||
|
||||
3.6 SLES Setup
|
||||
|
||||
o Due to a JRE conflict, maxView Storage Manager is not
|
||||
supported on SLES 10 SP2/SP3 (x32, x64), and SLES 10 SP4 (x32).
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Install SLES 10 SP4 64-bit then replace the 64-bit
|
||||
JRE with a 32-bit JRE. Alternatively, use ARCCONF for storage
|
||||
management on SLES 10 systems.
|
||||
|
||||
o To avoid a problem with launching maxView Storage Manager on
|
||||
SLES 11 x64 systems with DHCP enabled, ensure that the
|
||||
/etc/hosts file maps the server IP address to a valid host
|
||||
name; it is not sufficient to map the IP address to 'localhost'.
|
||||
|
||||
3.7 Ubuntu Setup
|
||||
|
||||
o To avoid a maxView Login failure on Ubuntu systems, you must
|
||||
ensure that the root user account is enabled. (It is disabled,
|
||||
by default, on Ubuntu 14.04 and later because no password is set.)
|
||||
|
||||
For example: sudo bash; sudo passwd root
|
||||
|
||||
o When upgrading maxView Storage Manager on an existing Ubuntu
|
||||
Linux x64 installation, you must enable the upgrade switch
|
||||
before installing the maxView .deb package:
|
||||
|
||||
export maxView_Upgrade=true
|
||||
dpkg -i StorMan-*.deb
|
||||
|
||||
To uninstall maxView after the upgrade:
|
||||
|
||||
export maxView_Upgrade=false
|
||||
dpkg -r storman
|
||||
|
||||
3.8 Bootable USB Image Security Warnings
|
||||
|
||||
When running maxView Storage Manager from the bootable USB
|
||||
image, you may be prompted with one or more with security
|
||||
warnings before maxView launches. In each case, acknowledge
|
||||
the warning and continue.
|
||||
|
||||
3.9 RAW Device Setup
|
||||
|
||||
On Adaptec Series 7 and Adaptec Series 8 controllers, a RAW
|
||||
Pass Through device is analogous to a JBOD, supported by Adaptec
|
||||
Series 6 controllers and older. Any drive without Adaptec RAID
|
||||
metadata is exposed to the OS as a RAW Pass Through device. To
|
||||
remove the Adaptec metadata and convert the drive to a RAW device,
|
||||
use the Uninitialize command in maxView Storage Manager; any
|
||||
existing data on the drive is destroyed. (You can also run
|
||||
uninit from the BIOS or ARCCONF.) For more information about
|
||||
working with RAW devices, see 'controller modes' in the CLI
|
||||
User's Guide, and BIOS 'general settings' in the RAID Controller
|
||||
Installation and User's Guide.
|
||||
|
||||
3.10 maxView Plugin for VMware vSphere Web Client
|
||||
|
||||
The maxView Plugin for VMware vSphere Web Client is supported
|
||||
on VMware 5.5 only.
|
||||
|
||||
3.11 Firmware Downgrade on Series 8 Board Revision "B1"
|
||||
|
||||
Firmware downgrade from maxView Storage Manager, ARCCONF or the
|
||||
BIOS is not supported on Adaptec Series 8 RAID controllers with
|
||||
Board Revision "B1" (the newest board revision). Older firmware
|
||||
versions do not support Board Revision "B1".
|
||||
|
||||
3.12 Uninstallation Issues
|
||||
|
||||
o When uninstalling maxView Storage Manager on Fedora Linux,
|
||||
the OS displays a series of warning messages about missing
|
||||
files. These messages can be ignored; the uninstallation
|
||||
completes successfully.
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: To avoid the warnings, uninstall maxView with
|
||||
'./StorMan-1.06-21032.i386.bin --remove' rather than
|
||||
'rpm -e StorMan'.
|
||||
|
||||
o When using the 'Modify' option to uninstall maxView Storage
|
||||
Manager on Windows, the 'Adaptec' folder is not removed from
|
||||
the file system.
|
||||
|
||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
4. Known Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
4.1 Login Issues on Windows Domain Server
|
||||
|
||||
If the maxView login account doesn't have local administrative
|
||||
rights, login will fail with an error message: 'Invalid Username
|
||||
or Password'. On domain servers running later versions of Microsoft
|
||||
Windows Server, where no local administrator exists or can be
|
||||
created, maxView login is not possible. Use ARCCONF to create
|
||||
and manage arrays.
|
||||
|
||||
4.2 Hot Spare Issues
|
||||
|
||||
o After using a global hot spare to rebuild a redundant logical
|
||||
drive, maxView Storage Manager displays an erroneous event
|
||||
message: "Deleted dedicated hot spare drive for logical device".
|
||||
In fact, the message should read "Logical device X is no longer
|
||||
protected by hot spare drive Y".
|
||||
|
||||
o maxView Storage Manager allows you to un-assign a global hot
|
||||
spare drive while copyback is in progess. This procedure is
|
||||
not recommended.
|
||||
|
||||
4.3 Dual-Controller Systems
|
||||
|
||||
In dual-controller systems, the controller order in maxView
|
||||
Storage Manager and the BIOS differs. Example: with an
|
||||
Adaptec 72405 and 7805 installed, the BIOS reports
|
||||
the 72405 as controller 1 and the 7805 as controller 2;
|
||||
in the GUI, the controller order is reversed.
|
||||
|
||||
4.4 Email Notifications
|
||||
|
||||
o On Linux systems, we recommend adding the SMTP host name
|
||||
to the /etc/hosts file. Doing so ensures that email
|
||||
notifications will succeed if you specify the email
|
||||
server in maxView Storage Manager by host name. Otherwise,
|
||||
email notifications (including test messages) may fail if
|
||||
the DNS is unable to resolve the host hame.
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: specify the email server in maxView Storage
|
||||
Manager by IP address.
|
||||
|
||||
o On CentOS 5.9 x64, email notifications may not be sent for
|
||||
logical drive creations, degraded logical drives, or logical
|
||||
drives that are rebuilding or fully rebuilt.
|
||||
|
||||
4.5 SGPIO Enclosures
|
||||
|
||||
In this release, maxView Storage Manager does not show connector
|
||||
information for SGPIO enclosures.
|
||||
|
||||
4.6 Non-RAID Mode Controllers
|
||||
|
||||
maxView Storage Manager can "see" RAID controllers operating
|
||||
in HBA mode, Auto-Volume mode, and Simple Volume mode (Adaptec
|
||||
Series 7 and Adaptec Series 8 controllers only). However, to
|
||||
change the controller mode, you must use ARCCONF or the BIOS.
|
||||
|
||||
4.7 RAID-Level Migrations
|
||||
|
||||
o The following RAID-level migrations (RLM) are supported in
|
||||
this release:
|
||||
|
||||
RAID 0 to RAID 5
|
||||
RAID 0 to RAID 10
|
||||
RAID 5 to RAID 6
|
||||
RAID 6 to RAID 5
|
||||
RAID 10 to RAID 5
|
||||
RAID 5 to RAID 10
|
||||
RAID 1 to RAID 5
|
||||
SIMPLE VOLUME to RAID 1
|
||||
RAID 1 to SIMPLE VOLUME
|
||||
|
||||
o When migrating a Simple Volume to RAID 1, maxView Storage
|
||||
Manager reports the logical drive state as Impacted (rather
|
||||
than Reconfiguring); this is normal.
|
||||
|
||||
o We do not recommend performing a RAID-level migration or
|
||||
Online Capacity Expansion (OCE) on a logical drive with
|
||||
maxCache SSD caching enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: maxView Storage Manager grays out the options for logical
|
||||
drives with maxCache enabled. ARCCONF terminates the task.
|
||||
|
||||
o Always allow a RAID-level migration to complete before creating
|
||||
a support archive file. Otherwise, the support archive will
|
||||
include incorrect partition information. Once the migration is
|
||||
complete, the partition information will be reported correctly.
|
||||
|
||||
4.8 maxCache Device Migration
|
||||
|
||||
Only one maxCache Device is supported per controller. Moving
|
||||
the maxCache Device (all underlying SSDs) from one
|
||||
controller to another (assuming both controllers support
|
||||
maxCache) is supported only if (1) the new controller does not
|
||||
have a maxCache Device or any other maxCache Device with a
|
||||
conflicting device number and (2) only after a clean shutdown
|
||||
on the old controller.
|
||||
|
||||
4.9 ARCCONF maxCache Device Size Issue
|
||||
|
||||
ARCCONF supports >2TB maxCache Devices if you create the
|
||||
device with the 'max' parameter. However, the functional
|
||||
limit for the maxCache Device is 2TB, which is also the
|
||||
limit in maxView Storage Manager.
|
||||
|
||||
4.10 Browser Issues
|
||||
|
||||
o To run maxView Storage Manager on the supported browsers,
|
||||
Javascript must be enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
o Due to a certificate bug in Firefox 31.x, maxView login
|
||||
may fail on RHEL systems with a "Secure Connection" error.
|
||||
(Firefox 31.1 is the default browser on RHEL 6.6; on
|
||||
RHEL 7.1, it is 31.4.)
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Upgrade to Firefox 36.
|
||||
|
||||
o With the default Security setting in Microsoft Internet
|
||||
Explorer 10 and 11, you may be unable to login to maxView
|
||||
Storage Manager or experience certain GUI display issues
|
||||
in the maxView online Help system.
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Change the default Security setting from High
|
||||
(or Medium-High) to Medium. Alternative: add the GUI IP
|
||||
address to the trusted sites list.
|
||||
|
||||
o With Google Chrome, the scrollbar resets itself to the top
|
||||
after selecting a drive in the Logical Drive wizard. To
|
||||
select another drive, you must scroll back down to the
|
||||
drive location.
|
||||
|
||||
o With Microsoft Internet Explorer 10, the controller
|
||||
firmware update wizard does not show the f/w update
|
||||
file name when the upload completes. To refresh the
|
||||
display, click Next then Back.
|
||||
|
||||
o We do not recommend using multiple browsers simultaneously
|
||||
on the same maxView instance. Doing so may cause display
|
||||
issues or freezes; to restore maxView, refresh the
|
||||
display by pressing F5.
|
||||
|
||||
4.11 Remote System Access on Linux and Windows
|
||||
|
||||
To avoid remote system access failures from Linux and Windows
|
||||
clients running maxView Storage Manager, check and update one
|
||||
or all of the following system and network settings:
|
||||
|
||||
Windows:
|
||||
|
||||
o Ensure that the DNS server information is properly configured
|
||||
|
||||
RHEL/Linux:
|
||||
|
||||
o Set server.properties file permissions to at least read-only at all levels
|
||||
|
||||
1. Stop all maxView services.
|
||||
2. Set the Permissions of server.properties file to read and write or read-only
|
||||
at all levels (Owner, Group and Others). Apply and close.
|
||||
3. Restart all services in the given order - cim, agent, tomcat
|
||||
4. Now try to remote login to this system from any other system
|
||||
|
||||
o Check/update these network settings:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Disable SELinux
|
||||
2. Disable firewall.
|
||||
3. Disable the ipv6 in the system, if ipconfig shows both ipv4 and ipv6 address.
|
||||
4. Remove the virtual bridge virbr0, if present
|
||||
5. Enter local ip address in 'localip' parameter in server.properties file
|
||||
|
||||
4.12 Power Management Issues
|
||||
|
||||
o Power management is not supported on FreeBSD.
|
||||
|
||||
o Capturing support logs from maxView or ARCCONF will spin up
|
||||
drives when power management is active. This behavior is by design.
|
||||
|
||||
o For logical drives comprised of SSDs only, the Power Tab in
|
||||
maxView Storage Manager is disabled.
|
||||
|
||||
o The Logical Drive Creation wizard does not save the power
|
||||
management settings after the logical drive is created.
|
||||
It is always disabled.
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Enable power management for the logical drive
|
||||
from the Set Properties window.
|
||||
|
||||
4.13 RAID 50/RAID 60, Max Drives
|
||||
|
||||
The maximum number of drives in a RAID 50 or RAID 60 differ
|
||||
between maxView Storage Manager, ARCCONF, and the BIOS:
|
||||
|
||||
o BIOS and ARCCONF: 128 drives max
|
||||
|
||||
RAID 50 - From 2-16 legs with 3-32 drives/leg
|
||||
RAID 60 - From 2-16 legs with 4-16 drives/leg
|
||||
|
||||
o maxView Storage Manager:
|
||||
|
||||
Assumes 2 legs for RAID 50/RAID 60 (non-selectable)
|
||||
RAID 50 2-32 drives/leg (64 total)
|
||||
RAID 60 2-16 drives/leg (32 total)
|
||||
|
||||
4.14 RAID 10 Segment Order
|
||||
|
||||
maxView Storage Manager and the Ctrl-A BIOS report the wrong
|
||||
segment order for RAID 10s, regardless of the order in which
|
||||
the drives are selected.
|
||||
|
||||
Example 1: Create RAID 10 with 2 SDDs and 2 HDDs in maxView Storage Manager:
|
||||
|
||||
(1a) ARCCONF and maxView Storage Manager see the following RAID segment order:
|
||||
Device 2 (S1)
|
||||
Device 1 (H2)
|
||||
Device 3 (S2)
|
||||
Device 0 (H1)
|
||||
|
||||
(1b) the BIOS/CTRL-A sees the following RAID segment order:
|
||||
Device 2 (S1)
|
||||
Device 1 (H2)
|
||||
Device 0 (H1)
|
||||
Device 3 (S2)
|
||||
|
||||
(1c) the correct and expected RAID segment order is:
|
||||
Device 2 (S1)
|
||||
Device 0 (H1)
|
||||
Device 3 (S2)
|
||||
Device 1 (H2)
|
||||
|
||||
Example 2: Create RAID 10 with 2 SDDs and 2 HDDs with ARCCONF:
|
||||
|
||||
(2a) the BIOS/CTRL-A sees the following RAID segment order:
|
||||
Device 0 (H1)
|
||||
Device 2 (S1)
|
||||
Device 1 (H2)
|
||||
Device 3 (S2)
|
||||
|
||||
(2b) ARCCONF and maxView Storage Manager see the correct RAID segment order:
|
||||
Device 2 (S1)
|
||||
Device 0 (H1)
|
||||
Device 3 (S2)
|
||||
Device 1 (H2)
|
||||
|
||||
4.15 RAID 10 Rebuild Order
|
||||
|
||||
With a degraded RAID 10 logical drive, the drive is rebuilt
|
||||
one leg at a time, not in parallel.
|
||||
|
||||
4.16 Verify with Fix
|
||||
|
||||
In maxView Storage Manager and ARCCONF, the Verify with Fix
|
||||
operation is NOT available when:
|
||||
|
||||
1. The logical drive has a non-redundant RAID level
|
||||
2. Other tasks are in progress on the logical drive
|
||||
3. The logical drive is in a non-optimal or impacted state
|
||||
|
||||
4.17 Locate Logical Drive Blink LED
|
||||
|
||||
In maxView Storage Manager, Locate Logical Drive continues to
|
||||
blink the LED for a pulled physical drive in the array after
|
||||
the locate action is stopped. (For unpulled drives, the blinking
|
||||
stops.) This issue is not seen with ARCCONF.
|
||||
|
||||
4.18 ATA Secure Erase
|
||||
|
||||
In ARCCONF, the ATA Secure Erase operation cannot be aborted.
|
||||
Once started, it continues to completion.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: ATA Secure Erase is also available in the Ctrl-A BIOS.
|
||||
and maxView Storage Manager.
|
||||
|
||||
4.19 ARCCONF Backward Compatibility
|
||||
|
||||
ARCCONF is backward compatible with older Adaptec controller
|
||||
models. As a result, the ARCCONF user's guide and online help
|
||||
show command options that are not supported by newer Adaptec
|
||||
controllers, like the Adaptec Series 7 and Adaptec Series 8.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
o With ARCCONF SETMAXCACHE, Adaptec Series 7 and Series 8
|
||||
controllers do not support ADDTOPOOL or REMOVEFROMPOOL
|
||||
|
||||
4.20 Adaptec Series 6 Controller Issues
|
||||
|
||||
The following issues are seen only with Adaptec Series 6 RAID
|
||||
controllers:
|
||||
|
||||
o In maxView Storage Manager, the Preserve Cache option on the
|
||||
Set Properties window is not supported on Series 6 RAID
|
||||
controllers. Attempting to set this option for the Series 6
|
||||
controller fails.
|
||||
|
||||
o Renaming a RAID volume disables the write-cache (if enabled).
|
||||
You cannot re-enable the write-cache in maxView Storage Manager.
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Use ARCCONF to enable the write-cache.
|
||||
|
||||
o In a VMware Guest OS under VMware 5.x, maxView Storage Manager
|
||||
and ARCCONF do not detect existing logical drive partitions.
|
||||
As a result, attempting to delete, clear, or erase the logical
|
||||
drive may fail.
|
||||
|
||||
o On Series 6 controllers, maxView Storage Manager deletes
|
||||
partitioned JBODs without issuing a warning message.
|
||||
|
||||
o Series 6 controllers do not support the ARCCONF GETPERFORM command.
|
||||
|
||||
4.21 Simple Volume Support
|
||||
|
||||
o In this release, you can create a maximum of 128 Simple
|
||||
Volumes in maxView Storage Manager, ARCCONF, or the BIOS.
|
||||
|
||||
o When a Simple Volume fails, the status remains unchanged
|
||||
after drive replacement.
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Manually delete the Simple Volume to remove it.
|
||||
|
||||
4.22 Auto-Volume Support
|
||||
|
||||
o Changing a controller into Auto-Volume mode (ARCCONF/BIOS) is not
|
||||
supported if the configuration includes any logical device type
|
||||
other than Simple Volume, including a maxCache Device. The mode
|
||||
switch from RAID mode to Auto-Volume mode is blocked if any other
|
||||
type of logical volume exists (including maxCache). After
|
||||
switching to Auto-Volume mode, you can create and delete Simple
|
||||
Volumes only in maxView Storage Manager and ARCCONF.
|
||||
|
||||
o In Auto-Volume mode, only the first 128 RAW drives are converted
|
||||
to Simple Volumes; the rest of the RAW drives remain unchanged.
|
||||
If you uninitialize a Ready drive while the controller is in
|
||||
Auto-Volume mode, the firmware converts the drive automatically
|
||||
until the Simple Volume count reaches the maximum.
|
||||
|
||||
4.23 Hot-Removing Disk Drives on Xenserver Guest OS
|
||||
|
||||
XenServer does not support "hot-removal" of disk drives from a
|
||||
partitioned logical drive. As a result, if you hot remove a disk
|
||||
from a logical drive, the Guest OS becomes inaccessible because
|
||||
the drive partition remains visible to the OS instead of being
|
||||
cleared.
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Reboot the XenServer host, detach the failed
|
||||
partition, then restart the VM.
|
||||
|
||||
4.24 Updating Hard Disk Firmware on VMware Guest OS
|
||||
|
||||
Updating the firmware for a SAS hard disk drive with ARCCONF/maxView
|
||||
can crash (PSOD) the VMware Guest OS. This issue is seen with SAS
|
||||
hard drives only; with SATA drives, the firmware update completes
|
||||
successfully.
|
||||
|
||||
4.25 Creating a Support Archive on a Guest OS
|
||||
|
||||
To create a support archive on a VMware or Xenserver Guest OS,
|
||||
use maxView Storage Manager only. Creating a support archive
|
||||
with ARCCONF is not supported in this release.
|
||||
|
||||
4.26 Enclosure Status Reporting
|
||||
|
||||
Enclosure status, in maxView Storage Manager, is event-driven.
|
||||
As a result, enclosures can have a "Degraded" status even if
|
||||
related resources (fan, temperature, power) are performing
|
||||
normally (Optimal status). For instance, the Enclosure status
|
||||
changes to "Degraded" if the system reports an "Enclosure device
|
||||
not responding ..." event, even if other sensor values are normal.
|
||||
|
||||
4.27 PHY Status on Enclosure Backplanes
|
||||
|
||||
In the Controller Properties window, maxView Storage Manager shows
|
||||
the Connector Info as "unknown" for all PHYs on an enclosure-based
|
||||
backplane (for instance, a backplane attached to connector 1).
|
||||
|
||||
4.28 Special Characters in Logical Device Names
|
||||
|
||||
Special characters are permitted in logical device names
|
||||
in maxView Storage Manager, the BIOS, and ARCCONF. However,
|
||||
with Linux ARCCONF (create, setname), special characters
|
||||
must be "escaped" to ensure proper interpretation. For
|
||||
example:
|
||||
|
||||
ARCCONF SETNAME 1 LOGICALDRIVE 1 arc_ldrive%\$12\&
|
||||
|
||||
4.29 Speaker Status on SuperMicro SAS2X28 Enclosures
|
||||
|
||||
SuperMicro SAS2X28 enclosures do not propagate the speaker
|
||||
status to maxView Storage Manager. As a result, maxView
|
||||
always displays the speaker status as Off.
|
||||
|
||||
4.30 Changing Read and Write Cache Settings for a Logical Drive
|
||||
|
||||
maxView Storage Manager does not allow you to change the
|
||||
read-cache and write-cache settings for a logical drive in
|
||||
one step. You must click OK after each change.
|
||||
|
||||
4.31 Online Help Issues
|
||||
|
||||
When opening the maxView Storage Manager help from a remote
|
||||
Linux system (eg, over a VPN), the help window may fail to
|
||||
open with a 'can't establish connection to server' message.
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: replace 127.0.0.1:8443 in the URL with <system_ip_address>:8443

|
||||
|
||||
PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE PROGRAM.
|
||||
Adaptec WILL LICENSE THE PROGRAM TO YOU ONLY IF YOU FIRST ACCEPT THE
|
||||
TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. BY USING THE PROGRAM YOU AGREE TO THESE
|
||||
TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT,
|
||||
PROMPTLY RETURN THE UNUSED PROGRAM TO THE PARTY (EITHER Adaptec OR
|
||||
ITS RESELLER) FROM WHOM YOU ACQUIRED IT TO RECEIVE A REFUND OF
|
||||
THE AMOUNT YOU PAID.
|
||||
|
||||
The Program is owned by (Adaptec) or a supplier of Adaptec
|
||||
and is copyrighted and licensed, not sold.
|
||||
|
||||
The term "Program" means the original program and all whole or
|
||||
partial copies of it. A Program consists of machine-readable
|
||||
instructions, its components, data, audio-visual content (such
|
||||
as images, text, recordings, or pictures), and related licensed
|
||||
materials.
|
||||
|
||||
This Agreement includes Part 1 - General Terms and Part 2
|
||||
Country unique Terms and is the complete agreement regarding the
|
||||
use of this Program, and replaces any prior oral or written
|
||||
communications between you and Adaptec. The terms of Part 2 may
|
||||
replace or modify those of Part 1.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1. License
|
||||
|
||||
Use of the Program
|
||||
|
||||
Adaptec grants you a nonexclusive license to use the Program.
|
||||
|
||||
You may 1) use the Program to the extent of authorizations you
|
||||
have acquired and 2) make and install copies to support the
|
||||
level of use authorized, providing you reproduce the copyright
|
||||
notice and any other legends of ownership on each copy, or
|
||||
partial copy, of the Program.
|
||||
|
||||
If you acquire this Program as a program upgrade, your
|
||||
authorization to use the Program from which you upgraded is
|
||||
terminated.
|
||||
|
||||
You will ensure that anyone who uses the Program does so only in
|
||||
compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
|
||||
|
||||
You may not 1) use, copy, modify, or distribute the Program
|
||||
except as provided in this Agreement; 2) reverse assemble,
|
||||
reverse compile, or otherwise translate the Program except as
|
||||
specifically permitted by law without the possibility of
|
||||
contractual waiver; or 3) sublicense, rent, or lease the
|
||||
Program.
|
||||
|
||||
Transfer of Rights and Obligations
|
||||
|
||||
You may transfer all your license rights and obligations under a
|
||||
Proof of Entitlement for the Program to another party by
|
||||
transferring the Proof of Entitlement and a copy of this
|
||||
Agreement and all documentation. The transfer of your license
|
||||
rights and obligations terminates your authorization to use the
|
||||
Program under the Proof of Entitlement.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2. Proof of Entitlement
|
||||
|
||||
The Proof of Entitlement for this Program is evidence of your
|
||||
authorization to use this Program and of your eligibility for
|
||||
future upgrade program prices (if announced) and potential
|
||||
special or promotional opportunities.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
3. Charges and Taxes
|
||||
|
||||
Adaptec defines use for the Program for charging purposes and
|
||||
specifies it in the Proof of Entitlement. Charges are based on
|
||||
extent of use authorized. If you wish to increase the extent of
|
||||
use, notify Adaptec or its reseller and pay any applicable charges.
|
||||
Adaptec does not give refunds or credits for charges already due or
|
||||
paid.
|
||||
|
||||
If any authority imposes a duty, tax, levy or fee, excluding
|
||||
those based on Adaptec's net income, upon the Program supplied by
|
||||
Adaptec under this agreement, then you agree to pay that amount
|
||||
as Adaptec specifies or
|
||||
supply exemption documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
4. No Warranty
|
||||
|
||||
SUBJECT TO ANY STATUTORY WARRANTIES WHICH CAN NOT BE EXCLUDED,
|
||||
Adaptec MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
|
||||
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE WARRANTY OF NON-INFRINGEMENT
|
||||
AND THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
|
||||
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, REGARDING THE PROGRAM OR TECHNICAL SUPPORT,
|
||||
IF ANY. Adaptec MAKES NO WARRANTY REGARDING THE CAPABILITY OF THE
|
||||
PROGRAM TO CORRECTLY PROCESS, PROVIDE AND/OR RECEIVE DATE DATA
|
||||
WITHIN AND BETWEEN THE 20TH AND 21ST CENTURIES.
|
||||
|
||||
The exclusion also applies to any of Adaptec's subcontractors,
|
||||
suppliers, or program developers (collectively called
|
||||
"Suppliers").
|
||||
|
||||
Manufacturers, suppliers, or publishers of non-Adaptec Programs may
|
||||
provide their own warranties.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
5. Limitation of Liability
|
||||
|
||||
NEITHER Adaptec NOR ITS SUPPLIERS WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT OR
|
||||
INDIRECT
|
||||
|
||||
DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, LOST
|
||||
SAVINGS, OR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR OTHER ECONOMIC
|
||||
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF Adaptec IS INFORMED OF THEIR
|
||||
POSSIBILITY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR
|
||||
LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE
|
||||
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

||||

|
||||
consumers that cannot be waived or limited by contract.

Notes
|
||||
1. The ARCCONF Command Line Utility is supported on
|
||||
only 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows and Linux.
|
||||
2. Boot USB (offline or pre-boot) for the ARCCONF Command
|
||||
Line Utility and maxView Storage Manager is supported
|
||||
in Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
3.3. General Setup Notes
|
||||
|
||||
o maxView Storage Manager is not backwards-compatible with
|
||||
Series 5 and older Adaptec controller models.
|
||||
o maxView Storage Manager and legacy Adaptec Storage Manager
|
||||
(ASM) cannot coexist on the same system.
|
||||
o For Series 6, 7, 8 controllers:
|
||||
- maxView Storage Manager is not supported on FreeBSD.
|
||||
Use ARCCONF to create and manage arrays.
|
||||
|
||||
3.4. Remote Access
|
||||
|
||||
maxView Storage Manager requires the following range of
|
||||
ports to be open for remote access:
|
||||
o 34570-34580 (TCP)
|
||||
o 34570 (UDP)
|
||||
o 34577-34580 (UDP)
|
||||
See also 4.1.6 for OS-specific issues and workarounds.
|
||||
|
||||
3.5. Windows 8 Setup
|
||||
|
||||
To log in and use maxView Storage Manager on a Windows 8
|
||||
system, you must create a local user account; you cannot
|
||||
use your MS Live account.
|
||||
To create a local user account:
|
||||
1. Log into your MS Live account.
|
||||
2. Select Settings->Change PC Settings->Users->Switch to
|
||||
Local user.
|
||||
3. Provide account details.
|
||||
4. Start maxView Storage Manager and log in with your
|
||||
local user account credentials.
|
||||
|
||||
3.6. SLES Setup
|
||||
|
||||
o To avoid a problem with launching maxView Storage
|
||||
Manager on SLES 11 x64 systems with DHCP enabled,
|
||||
ensure that the /etc/hosts file maps the server
|
||||
IP address to a valid host name; it is not sufficient
|
||||
to map the IP address to 'localhost'.
|
||||
|
||||
3.7. Ubuntu Setup
|
||||
|
||||
o To avoid a maxView Login failure on Ubuntu systems,
|
||||
you must ensure that the root user account is enabled.
|
||||
(It is disabled, by default, on Ubuntu 14.04
|
||||
and later because no password is set.)
|
||||
For example: sudo bash; sudo passwd root
|
||||
o When upgrading maxView Storage Manager on an existing
|
||||
Ubuntu Linux x64 installation, you must enable the
|
||||
upgrade switch before installing the maxView .deb
|
||||
package:
|
||||
export maxView_Upgrade=true
|
||||
dpkg -i StorMan-*.deb
|
||||
To uninstall maxView after the upgrade:
|
||||
export maxView_Upgrade=false
|
||||
dpkg -r storman
|
||||
|
||||
3.8. Bootable USB Image Security Warnings
|
||||
|
||||
When running maxView Storage Manager from the bootable
|
||||
USB image, you may be prompted with one or more with
|
||||
security warnings before maxView launches. In
|
||||
each case, acknowledge the warning and continue.
|
||||
|
||||
3.9. RAW Device Setup (Series 6, 7, 8 Only)
|
||||
|
||||
On Adaptec Series 7 and Adaptec Series 8 controllers,
|
||||
a RAW Pass Through device is analogous to a JBOD, supported
|
||||
by Adaptec Series 6 controllers and older. Any drive without
|
||||
Adaptec RAID metadata is exposed to the OS as a RAW Pass
|
||||
Through device. To remove the Adaptec metadata and convert
|
||||
the drive to a RAW device, use the Uninitialize command in
|
||||
maxView Storage Manager; any existing data on the drive is
|
||||
destroyed. (You can also run uninit from the BIOS or
|
||||
ARCCONF.) For more information about working with RAW devices,
|
||||
see 'controller modes' in the CLI User's Guide, and BIOS
|
||||
'general settings' in the RAID Controller Installation and
|
||||
User's Guide.
|
||||
|
||||
3.10. maxView Plugin for VMware vSphere Web Client
|
||||
|
||||
The maxView Plugin for VMware vSphere Web Client is
|
||||
supported on VMware 5.5 and 6.0.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Known Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
4.1. Global Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.1. Dual-Controller Systems
|
||||
|
||||
In dual-controller systems, the controller order in
|
||||
maxView Storage Manager and the BIOS differs. Example:
|
||||
with an Adaptec 72405 and 7805 installed, the BIOS reports
|
||||
the 72405 as controller 1 and the 7805 as controller 2;
|
||||
in the GUI, the controller order is reversed.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.2. Email Notifications
|
||||
|
||||
o On Linux systems, we recommend adding the SMTP host
|
||||
name and the system IP address, to the /etc/hosts file.
|
||||
Doing so ensures that email notifications will succeed
|
||||
if you specify the email server in maxView Storage
|
||||
Manager by host name. Otherwise, email notifications
|
||||
(including test messages) may fail if the DNS is unable
|
||||
to resolve the host name.
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Specify the email server in maxView Storage
|
||||
Manager by IP address.
|
||||
|
||||
o On CentOS 5.9 x64, email notifications may not be sent
|
||||
for logical drive creations, degraded logical drives,
|
||||
or logical drives that are rebuilding or fully rebuilt.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.3. SGPIO Enclosures
|
||||
|
||||
In this release, maxView Storage Manager does not show
|
||||
connector information for SGPIO enclosures.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.4. Non-RAID Mode Controllers
|
||||
|
||||
maxView Storage Manager can "see" RAID controllers
|
||||
operating in HBA mode, Auto-Volume mode, and Simple Volume
|
||||
mode (Adaptec Series 7, Adaptec Series 8, Smart Family
|
||||
controllers only). However, to change the controller mode
|
||||
on Adaptec Series 7/8 controllers, you must use ARCCONF
|
||||
or the BIOS. With Adaptec Smart-Family controllers, you
|
||||
can also change the controller mode with maxView Storage
|
||||
Manager.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.5. Browser Issues
|
||||
|
||||
To run maxView Storage Manager on the supported browsers.
|
||||
Javascript must be enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
o Due to a certificate bug in Firefox 31.x, maxView
|
||||
login may fail on RHEL systems with a "Secure
|
||||
Connection" error. (Firefox 31.1 is the default
|
||||
browser on RHEL 6.6; on RHEL 7.1, it is 31.4.)
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Upgrade to Firefox 36.
|
||||
|
||||
o With the default Security setting in Microsoft
|
||||
Internet Explorer 10 and 11, you may be unable to
|
||||
login to maxView Storage Manager or experience
|
||||
certain GUI display issues in the maxView online
|
||||
Help system.
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Change the default Security setting
|
||||
from High (or Medium-High) to Medium.
|
||||
Alternative: add the GUI IP address to the trusted
|
||||
sites list.
|
||||
|
||||
o With Google Chrome, the scrollbar resets itself to
|
||||
the top after selecting a drive in the Logical Drive
|
||||
wizard. To select another drive, you must
|
||||
scroll back down to the drive location.
|
||||
|
||||
o With Microsoft Internet Explorer 10, the controller
|
||||
firmware update wizard does not show the f/w update
|
||||
file name when the upload completes. To refresh
|
||||
the display, click Next then Back.
|
||||
|
||||
o We do not recommend using multiple browsers
|
||||
simultaneously on the same maxView
|
||||
instance. Doing so may cause display issues or freezes;
|
||||
to restore maxView, refresh the display by pressing F5.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.6. Remote System Access on Linux and Windows
|
||||
|
||||
To avoid remote system access failures from Linux
|
||||
and Windows clients running maxView Storage Manager,
|
||||
check and update one or all of the following system
|
||||
and network settings:
|
||||
|
||||
Windows:
|
||||
o Ensure that the DNS server information is properly
|
||||
configured
|
||||
|
||||
RHEL/Linux:
|
||||
|
||||
o Set server.properties file permissions to at least
|
||||
read-only at all levels
|
||||
1. Stop all maxView services.
|
||||
2. Set the Permissions of server.properties file to
|
||||
read and write or read-only at all levels
|
||||
(Owner, Group and Others).
|
||||
3. Apply and close.
|
||||
4. Restart all services in the given order - cim,
|
||||
agent, tomcat
|
||||
5. Now try to remote login to this system from any
|
||||
other system
|
||||
|
||||
o Check/update these network settings:
|
||||
1. Disable SELinux
|
||||
2. Disable firewall.
|
||||
3. Disable the ipv6 in the system, if ipconfig shows
|
||||
both ipv4 and ipv6 address.
|
||||
4. Remove the virtual bridge virbr0, if present
|
||||
5. Enter local ip address in 'localip' parameter in
|
||||
server.properties file
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.7. RAID 10 Segment Order
|
||||
|
||||
maxView Storage Manager and the Ctrl-A BIOS report the
|
||||
wrong segment order for RAID 10s, regardless of the order
|
||||
in which the drives are selected.
|
||||
Example 1: Create RAID 10 with 2 SDDs and 2 HDDs in maxView
|
||||
Storage Manager:
|
||||
|
||||
(1a) ARCCONF and maxView Storage Manager see the
|
||||
following RAID segment order:
|
||||
Device 2 (S1)
|
||||
Device 1 (H2)
|
||||
Device 3 (S2)
|
||||
Device 0 (H1)
|
||||
|
||||
(1b) the BIOS/CTRL-A sees the following RAID segment
|
||||
order:
|
||||
Device 2 (S1)
|
||||
Device 1 (H2)
|
||||
Device 0 (H1)
|
||||
Device 3 (S2)
|
||||
|
||||
(1c) the correct and expected RAID segment order is:
|
||||
Device 2 (S1)
|
||||
Device 0 (H1)
|
||||
Device 3 (S2)
|
||||
Device 1 (H2)
|
||||
|
||||
Example 2: Create RAID 10 with 2 SDDs and 2 HDDs
|
||||
with ARCCONF:
|
||||
|
||||
(2a) the BIOS/CTRL-A sees the following RAID segment
|
||||
order:
|
||||
Device 0 (H1)
|
||||
Device 2 (S1)
|
||||
Device 1 (H2)
|
||||
Device 3 (S2)
|
||||
|
||||
(2b) ARCCONF and maxView Storage Manager see the
|
||||
correct RAID segment order:
|
||||
Device 2 (S1)
|
||||
Device 0 (H1)
|
||||
Device 3 (S2)
|
||||
Device 1 (H2)
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.8. RAID 10 Rebuild Order
|
||||
|
||||
With a degraded RAID 10 logical drive, the drive is
|
||||
rebuilt one leg at a time, not in parallel.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.9. Locate Logical Drive Blink LED
|
||||
|
||||
In maxView Storage Manager, Locate Logical Drive
|
||||
continues to blink the LED for a pulled physical drive
|
||||
in the array after the locate action is stopped.
|
||||
(For unpulled drives, the blinking stops.) This issue is
|
||||
not seen with ARCCONF.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.10. ARCCONF Backward Compatibility
|
||||
|
||||
ARCCONF is backward compatible with older Adaptec
|
||||
controller models. As a result, the ARCCONF user's guide
|
||||
and online help show command options that are not
|
||||
supported by newer Adaptec controllers, like the
|
||||
Adaptec Series 7 and Adaptec Series 8 or later products.
|
||||
|
||||
Example: With ARCCONF SETMAXCACHE, Adaptec Series 7 and
|
||||
Series 8 controllers do not support ADDTOPOOL or
|
||||
REMOVEFROMPOOL
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.11. Updating Hard Disk Firmware on VMware Guest OS
|
||||
|
||||
Updating the firmware for a SAS hard disk drive with
|
||||
ARCCONF/maxView can crash (PSOD) the VMware Guest OS.
|
||||
This issue is seen with SAS hard drives only; with
|
||||
SATA drives, the firmware update completes successfully.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.12. Hot Swap Issues on VMware CentOS Guest OS
|
||||
|
||||
Due to a limitation with the VMware CentOS Guest OS
|
||||
network configuration, maxView Storage Manager does not
|
||||
show newly added or removed hot swap drives.
|
||||
(ARCCONF sees the configuration change but maxView
|
||||
does not.)
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: (1) reboot the system or restart maxView
|
||||
services; (2) adjust the network configuration; contact
|
||||
Adaptec Support for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.13. Enclosure Status Reporting
|
||||
|
||||
Enclosure status, in maxView Storage Manager, is
|
||||
event-driven. As a result, enclosures can have a
|
||||
"Degraded" status even if related resources (fan,
|
||||
temperature, power) are performing normally (Optimal
|
||||
status). For instance, the Enclosure status changes
|
||||
to "Degraded" if the system reports an "Enclosure
|
||||
device not responding ..." event, even if other sensor
|
||||
values are normal.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.14. PHY Status on Enclosure Backplanes
|
||||
|
||||
In the Controller Properties window, maxView Storage
|
||||
Manager shows the Connector Info as "unknown" for all
|
||||
PHYs on an enclosure-based backplane (for instance, a
|
||||
backplane attached to connector 1).
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.15. Special Characters in Logical Device Names
|
||||
|
||||
Special characters are permitted in logical device
|
||||
names in maxView Storage Manager, the BIOS, and ARCCONF.
|
||||
However, with Linux ARCCONF (create, setname), special
|
||||
characters must be "escaped" to ensure proper
|
||||
interpretation. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
ARCCONF SETNAME 1 LOGICALDRIVE 1 arc_ldrive%\$12\&
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.16. Speaker Status on SuperMicro SAS2X28 Enclosures
|
||||
|
||||
SuperMicro SAS2X28 enclosures do not propagate
|
||||
the speaker status to maxView Storage Manager. As
|
||||
a result, maxView always displays the speaker
|
||||
status as Off.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.17. Online Help Issues
|
||||
|
||||
o When opening the maxView Storage Manager help
|
||||
from a remote Linux system (eg, over a VPN), the
|
||||
help window may fail to open with a 'can't establish
|
||||
connection to server' message.
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: replace 127.0.0.1:8443 in the URL with
|
||||
<system_ip_address>:8443
|
||||
|
||||
o In IE11, topics in the help may display with a 'Topics
|
||||
Not Found' message when their corresponding links are
|
||||
clicked in the navigation pane of the help.
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: click on the "Add" browser link to add
|
||||
certification to view the content.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.18. Broadcasting Alerts About Status and Activity
|
||||
|
||||
This feature is not supported by the maxView Storage
|
||||
Manager or ARCCONF and has been removed from the product
|
||||
documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
4.2. Limitations Specific to Series 6, 7, 8 Controllers
|
||||
|
||||
4.2.1. RAID-Level Migrations
|
||||
|
||||
o The following RAID-level migrations (RLM) are
|
||||
supported in this release:
|
||||
- RAID 0 to RAID 5
|
||||
- RAID 0 to RAID 10
|
||||
- RAID 5 to RAID 6
|
||||
- RAID 6 to RAID 5
|
||||
- RAID 10 to RAID 5
|
||||
- RAID 5 to RAID 10
|
||||
- RAID 1 to RAID 5
|
||||
- SIMPLE VOLUME to RAID 1
|
||||
- RAID 1 to SIMPLE VOLUME
|
||||
|
||||
o When migrating a Simple Volume to RAID 1, maxView
|
||||
Storage Manager reports the logical drive state as
|
||||
Impacted (rather than Reconfiguring);
|
||||
this is normal.
|
||||
|
||||
o We do not recommend performing a RAID-level
|
||||
migration or Online Capacity Expansion (OCE)
|
||||
on a logical drive with maxCache SSD caching
|
||||
enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: maxView Storage Manager grays out the
|
||||
options for logical drives with maxCache enabled.
|
||||
ARCCONF terminates the task.
|
||||
|
||||
o Always allow a RAID-level migration to complete
|
||||
before creating a support archive file. Otherwise,
|
||||
the support archive will include incorrect
|
||||
partition information. Once the migration is
|
||||
complete, the partition information will be reported
|
||||
correctly.
|
||||
|
||||
4.2.2. maxCache Device Migration
|
||||
|
||||
Only one maxCache Device is supported per controller.
|
||||
Moving the maxCache Device (all underlying SSDs) from
|
||||
one controller to another (assuming both controllers
|
||||
support maxCache) is supported only if (1) the new
|
||||
controller does not have a maxCache Device or any other
|
||||
maxCache Device with a conflicting device number and
|
||||
(2) only after a clean shutdown
|
||||
on the old controller.
|
||||
|
||||
4.2.3. ARCCONF maxCache Device Size Issue
|
||||
|
||||
ARCCONF supports >2TB maxCache Devices if you create
|
||||
the device with the 'max' parameter. However, the
|
||||
functional limit for the maxCache Device is 2TB,
|
||||
which is also the limit in maxView Storage Manager.
|
||||
|
||||
4.2.4. Power Management Issues
|
||||
|
||||
o Power management is not supported on FreeBSD.
|
||||
|
||||
o Capturing support logs from maxView or ARCCONF
|
||||
will spin up drives when power management is
|
||||
active. This behavior is by design.
|
||||
|
||||
o The Logical Drive Creation wizard no longer
|
||||
includes the option to enable power management settings.
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Enable power management for the
|
||||
logical drive from the Set Properties window.
|
||||
|
||||
4.2.5. Verify with Fix
|
||||
|
||||
In maxView Storage Manager and ARCCONF, the Verify
|
||||
with Fix operation is NOT available when:
|
||||
|
||||
1. The logical drive has a non-redundant RAID level
|
||||
2. Other tasks are in progress on the logical drive
|
||||
3. The logical drive is in a non-optimal or impacted state
|
||||
|
||||
4.2.6. ATA Secure Erase
|
||||
|
||||
In ARCCONF, the ATA Secure Erase operation cannot
|
||||
be aborted. Once started, it continues to completion.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: ATA Secure Erase is also available in the
|
||||
Ctrl-A BIOS and maxView Storage Manager.
|
||||
|
||||
4.2.7. Series 6 Controller Issues
|
||||
|
||||
The following issues are seen only with Adaptec
|
||||
Series 6 RAID controllers:
|
||||
o In maxView Storage Manager, the Preserve Cache
|
||||
option on the Set Properties window is not
|
||||
supported on Series 6 RAID controllers. Attempting
|
||||
to set this option for the Series 6 controller fails.
|
||||
|
||||
o Renaming a RAID volume disables the write-cache
|
||||
(if enabled). You cannot re-enable the write-cache
|
||||
in maxView Storage Manager.
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Use ARCCONF to enable the write-cache.
|
||||
|
||||
o In a VMware Guest OS under VMware 5.x, maxView
|
||||
Storage Manager and ARCCONF do not detect existing
|
||||
logical drive partitions. As a result,
|
||||
attempting to delete, clear, or erase the logical
|
||||
drive may fail.
|
||||
|
||||
o On Series 6 controllers, maxView Storage Manager
|
||||
deletes partitioned JBODs without issuing a
|
||||
warning message.
|
||||
|
||||
o Series 6 controllers do not support the ARCCONF
|
||||
GETPERFORM command.
|
||||
|
||||
4.2.8. Simple Volume Support
|
||||
|
||||
o In this release, you can create a maximum of 128
|
||||
Simple Volumes in maxView Storage Manager, ARCCONF,
|
||||
or the BIOS.
|
||||
|
||||
o When a Simple Volume fails, the status remains
|
||||
unchanged after drive replacement.
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Manually delete the Simple Volume to
|
||||
remove it.
|
||||
|
||||
4.2.9. Auto-Volume Support
|
||||
|
||||
o Changing a controller into Auto-Volume mode
|
||||
(ARCCONF/BIOS) is not supported if the configuration
|
||||
includes any logical device type other than Simple
|
||||
Volume, including a maxCache Device. The mode switch
|
||||
from RAID mode to Auto-Volume mode is blocked if any
|
||||
other type of logical volume exists (including
|
||||
maxCache). After switching to Auto-Volume mode,
|
||||
you can create and delete Simple Volumes
|
||||
only in maxView Storage Manager and ARCCONF.
|
||||
|
||||
o In Auto-Volume mode, only the first 128 RAW drives
|
||||
are converted to Simple Volumes; the rest of the
|
||||
RAW drives remain unchanged. If you uninitialize
|
||||
a Ready drive while the controller is in Auto-Volume
|
||||
mode, the firmware converts the drive automatically
|
||||
until the Simple Volume count reaches the maximum.
|
||||
|
||||
4.2.10. Hot-Removing Disk Drives on Xenserver Guest OS
|
||||
|
||||
XenServer does not support "hot-removal" of disk
|
||||
drives from a partitioned logical drive. As a result,
|
||||
if you hot remove a disk from a logical drive,
|
||||
the Guest OS becomes inaccessible because the drive
|
||||
partition remains visible to the OS instead of being cleared.
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Reboot the XenServer host, detach the
|
||||
failed partition, then restart the VM.
|
||||
|
||||
4.2.11. Changing Read and Write Cache Settings for
|
||||
Logical Drive
|
||||
|
||||
maxView Storage Manager does not allow you to change
|
||||
the read-cache and write-cache settings for a logical drive
|
||||
in one step. You must click OK after each change.
|
||||
|
||||
4.3. Limitations Specific to Smart Family Controllers
|
||||
|
||||
4.3.1. SES Passthrough Commands to Expanders
|
||||
|
||||
SES passthrough commands to expanders fail.
|
||||
|
||||
4.3.2 Firmware Upgrade Issues
|
||||
|
||||
For systems using Adaptec HBA 1000 with an Adaptec
|
||||
SAS Expander 82885T card, where the ARCCONF utility
|
||||
is used to upgrade the expander firmware, ARCCONF
|
||||
may crash if 64-bit chunk sizes are used.
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Use 32-bit chunk sizes to upgrade/downgrade
|
||||
the expander firmware.

|
||||
|
||||
Part 1 - General Terms
|
||||
|
||||
PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE PROGRAM.
|
||||
Adaptec WILL LICENSE THE PROGRAM TO YOU ONLY IF YOU FIRST ACCEPT THE
|
||||
TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. BY USING THE PROGRAM YOU AGREE TO THESE
|
||||
TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT,
|
||||
PROMPTLY RETURN THE UNUSED PROGRAM TO THE PARTY (EITHER Adaptec OR
|
||||
ITS RESELLER) FROM WHOM YOU ACQUIRED IT TO RECEIVE A REFUND OF
|
||||
THE AMOUNT YOU PAID.
|
||||
|
||||
The Program is owned by (Adaptec) or a supplier of Adaptec
|
||||
and is copyrighted and licensed, not sold.
|
||||
|
||||
The term "Program" means the original program and all whole or
|
||||
partial copies of it. A Program consists of machine-readable
|
||||
instructions, its components, data, audio-visual content (such
|
||||
as images, text, recordings, or pictures), and related licensed
|
||||
materials.
|
||||
|
||||
This Agreement includes Part 1 - General Terms and Part 2
|
||||
Country unique Terms and is the complete agreement regarding the
|
||||
use of this Program, and replaces any prior oral or written
|
||||
communications between you and Adaptec. The terms of Part 2 may
|
||||
replace or modify those of Part 1.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1. License
|
||||
|
||||
Use of the Program
|
||||
|
||||
Adaptec grants you a nonexclusive license to use the Program.
|
||||
|
||||
You may 1) use the Program to the extent of authorizations you
|
||||
have acquired and 2) make and install copies to support the
|
||||
level of use authorized, providing you reproduce the copyright
|
||||
notice and any other legends of ownership on each copy, or
|
||||
partial copy, of the Program.
|
||||
|
||||
If you acquire this Program as a program upgrade, your
|
||||
authorization to use the Program from which you upgraded is
|
||||
terminated.
|
||||
|
||||
You will ensure that anyone who uses the Program does so only in
|
||||
compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
|
||||
|
||||
You may not 1) use, copy, modify, or distribute the Program
|
||||
except as provided in this Agreement; 2) reverse assemble,
|
||||
reverse compile, or otherwise translate the Program except as
|
||||
specifically permitted by law without the possibility of
|
||||
contractual waiver; or 3) sublicense, rent, or lease the
|
||||
Program.
|
||||
|
||||
Transfer of Rights and Obligations
|
||||
|
||||
You may transfer all your license rights and obligations under a
|
||||
Proof of Entitlement for the Program to another party by
|
||||
transferring the Proof of Entitlement and a copy of this
|
||||
Agreement and all documentation. The transfer of your license
|
||||
rights and obligations terminates your authorization to use the
|
||||
Program under the Proof of Entitlement.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2. Proof of Entitlement
|
||||
|
||||
The Proof of Entitlement for this Program is evidence of your
|
||||
authorization to use this Program and of your eligibility for
|
||||
future upgrade program prices (if announced) and potential
|
||||
special or promotional opportunities.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
3. Charges and Taxes
|
||||
|
||||
Adaptec defines use for the Program for charging purposes and
|
||||
specifies it in the Proof of Entitlement. Charges are based on
|
||||
extent of use authorized. If you wish to increase the extent of
|
||||
use, notify Adaptec or its reseller and pay any applicable charges.
|
||||
Adaptec does not give refunds or credits for charges already due or
|
||||
paid.
|
||||
|
||||
If any authority imposes a duty, tax, levy or fee, excluding
|
||||
those based on Adaptec's net income, upon the Program supplied by
|
||||
Adaptec under this agreement, then you agree to pay that amount
|
||||
as Adaptec specifies or
|
||||
supply exemption documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
4. No Warranty
|
||||
|
||||
SUBJECT TO ANY STATUTORY WARRANTIES WHICH CAN NOT BE EXCLUDED,
|
||||
Adaptec MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
|
||||
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE WARRANTY OF NON-INFRINGEMENT
|
||||
AND THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
|
||||
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, REGARDING THE PROGRAM OR TECHNICAL SUPPORT,
|
||||
IF ANY. Adaptec MAKES NO WARRANTY REGARDING THE CAPABILITY OF THE
|
||||
PROGRAM TO CORRECTLY PROCESS, PROVIDE AND/OR RECEIVE DATE DATA
|
||||
WITHIN AND BETWEEN THE 20TH AND 21ST CENTURIES.
|
||||
|
||||
The exclusion also applies to any of Adaptec's subcontractors,
|
||||
suppliers, or program developers (collectively called
|
||||
"Suppliers").
|
||||
|
||||
Manufacturers, suppliers, or publishers of non-Adaptec Programs may
|
||||
provide their own warranties.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
5. Limitation of Liability
|
||||
|
||||
NEITHER Adaptec NOR ITS SUPPLIERS WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT OR
|
||||
INDIRECT
|
||||
|
||||
DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, LOST
|
||||
SAVINGS, OR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR OTHER ECONOMIC
|
||||
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF Adaptec IS INFORMED OF THEIR
|
||||
POSSIBILITY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR
|
||||
LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE
|
||||
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
6. General
|
||||
|
||||
Nothing in this Agreement affects any statutory rights of
|
||||
consumers that cannot be waived or limited by contract.
|
||||
|
||||
Adaptec may terminate your license if you fail to comply with the
|
||||
terms of this Agreement. If Adaptec does so, you must immediately
|
||||
destroy the Program and all copies you made of it.
|
||||
|
||||
You agree to comply with applicable export laws and regulations.
|
||||

||||
Agreement more than two years after the cause of action arose
|
||||
unless otherwise provided by local law without the possibility
|
||||
of contractual waiver or limitation.
|
||||
|
||||
Neither you nor Adaptec is responsible for failure to fulfill any
|
||||
obligations due to causes beyond its control.
|
||||
|
||||
Adaptec does not provide program services or technical support,
|
||||

|
||||
The laws of the country in which you acquire the Program govern

|
||||

3.3 General Setup Notes
|
||||
* maxView Storage Manager is not backwards-compatible with Series 5 and
|
||||
older Adaptec controller models.
|
||||
* maxView Storage Manager and legacy Adaptec Storage Manager (ASM) cannot
|
||||
coexist on the same system.
|
||||
* For Series 6, 7, 8 controllers:
|
||||
* maxView Storage Manager is not supported on FreeBSD. Use ARCCONF to
|
||||
create and manage arrays.
|
||||
|
||||
3.4 Remote Access
|
||||
maxView Storage Manager requires the following range of ports to be open for
|
||||
remote access:
|
||||
* 34570-34580 (TCP)
|
||||
* 34570 (UDP)
|
||||
* 34577-34580 (UDP)
|
||||
|
||||
3.5 Windows 8 Setup
|
||||
To log in and use maxView Storage Manager on a Windows 8 system, you must
|
||||
create a local user account; you cannot use your MS Live account. To create a
|
||||
local user account:
|
||||
1. Log into your MS Live account.
|
||||
2. Select Settings->Change PC Settings->Users->Switch to Local user.
|
||||
3. Provide account details.
|
||||
4. Start maxView Storage Manager and log in with your local user account
|
||||
credentials.
|
||||
|
||||
3.6 SLES Setup
|
||||
To avoid a problem with launching maxView Storage Manager on SLES 11 or SLES
|
||||
12 x64 systems with DHCP enabled, ensure that the /etc/hosts file maps the
|
||||
server IP address to a valid host name; it is not sufficient to map the IP
|
||||
address to 'localhost'.
|
||||
|
||||
3.7 Ubuntu Setup
|
||||
* To avoid a maxView Login failure on Ubuntu systems, you must ensure that the
|
||||
root user account is enabled. (It is disabled, by default, on Ubuntu 14.04
|
||||
and later because no password is set.)
|
||||
For example: sudo bash; sudo passwd root
|
||||
* When upgrading maxView Storage Manager on an existing Ubuntu Linux x64
|
||||
installation, you must enable the upgrade switch before installing the
|
||||
maxView .deb package:
|
||||
|
||||
export maxView_Upgrade=true
|
||||
dpkg -i StorMan-*.deb
|
||||
|
||||
To uninstall maxView after the upgrade:
|
||||
|
||||
export maxView_Upgrade=false
|
||||
dpkg -r storman
|
||||
|
||||
3.8 Bootable USB Image Security Warnings
|
||||
When running maxView Storage Manager from the bootable USB image, you may be
|
||||
prompted with one or more with security warnings before maxView launches. In
|
||||
each case, acknowledge the warning and continue.
|
||||
|
||||
3.9 RAW Device Setup (Series 6, 7, 8 Only)
|
||||
On Adaptec Series 7 and Adaptec Series 8 controllers, a RAW Pass Through
|
||||
device is analogous to a JBOD, supported by Adaptec Series 6 controllers and
|
||||
older. Any drive without Adaptec RAID metadata is exposed to the OS as a RAW
|
||||
Pass Through device. To remove the Adaptec metadata and convert the drive to a
|
||||
RAW device, use the Uninitialize command in maxView Storage Manager; any
|
||||
existing data on the drive is destroyed. (You can also run uninit from the
|
||||
BIOS or ARCCONF.) For more information about working with RAW devices, see
|
||||
'controller modes' in the CLI User's Guide, and BIOS 'general settings' in the
|
||||
RAID Controller Installation and User's Guide.
|
||||
|
||||
3.10 maxView Plugin for VMware vSphere Web Client
|
||||
The maxView Plugin for VMware vSphere Web Client is supported on VMware 5.5
|
||||
and 6.0.
|
||||
|
||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Chapter 4. Known Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
4.1 Global Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.1 Dual-Controller Systems
|
||||
In dual-controller systems, the controller order in maxView Storage Manager
|
||||
and the BIOS differs. Example: with an Adaptec 72405 and 7805 installed, the
|
||||
BIOS reports the 72405 as controller 1 and the 7805 as controller 2; in the
|
||||
GUI, the controller order is reversed.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.2 Email Notifications
|
||||
On Linux systems, we recommend adding the SMTP host name and the system IP
|
||||
address, to the /etc/hosts file. Doing so ensures that email notifications
|
||||
will succeed if you specify the email server in maxView Storage Manager by
|
||||
host name. Otherwise, email notifications (including test messages) may fail
|
||||
if the DNS is unable to resolve the host name.
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Specify the email server in maxView Storage Manager by IP address.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.3 SGPIO Enclosures
|
||||
In this release, maxView Storage Manager does not show connector information
|
||||
for SGPIO enclosures.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.4 Non-RAID Mode Controllers
|
||||
maxView Storage Manager can "see" RAID controllers operating in HBA mode,
|
||||
Auto-Volume mode, and Simple Volume mode (Adaptec Series 7, Adaptec Series 8,
|
||||
Smart Family controllers only). However, to change the controller mode on
|
||||
Adaptec Series 7/8 controllers, you must use ARCCONF or the BIOS. With Adaptec
|
||||
Smart-Family controllers, you can also change the controller mode with maxView
|
||||
Storage Manager.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.5 Browser Issues
|
||||
* To run maxView Storage Manager on the supported browsers, Javascript must be
|
||||
enabled.
|
||||
* With Ubuntu Linux, Firefox 46/47 has alignment problems in some parts of the
|
||||
maxView GUI.
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Upgrade to Firefox 48.
|
||||
* Due to a certificate bug in Firefox 31.x, maxView login may fail on RHEL
|
||||
systems with a "Secure Connection" error. (Firefox 31.1 is the default
|
||||
browser on RHEL 6.6; on RHEL 7.1, it is 31.4.)
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Upgrade to the latest Firefox version.
|
||||
* With the default Security setting in Microsoft Internet Explorer 10 and 11,
|
||||
you may be unable to login to maxView Storage Manager or experience certain
|
||||
GUI display issues in the maxView online Help system.
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Change the default Security setting from High (or Medium-High)
|
||||
to Medium. Alternative: add the GUI IP address to the trusted sites list.
|
||||
* With Google Chrome, the scrollbar resets itself to the top after selecting a
|
||||
drive in the Logical Drive wizard. To select another drive, you must scroll
|
||||
back down to the drive location.
|
||||
* With Microsoft Internet Explorer 10, the controller firmware update wizard
|
||||
does not show the f/w update file name when the upload completes. To refresh
|
||||
the display, click Next then Back.
|
||||
* We do not recommend using multiple browsers simultaneously on the same
|
||||
maxView instance. Doing so may cause display issues or freezes; to restore
|
||||
maxView, refresh the display by pressing F5.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.6 Remote System Access on Linux and Windows
|
||||
To avoid remote system access failures from Linux and Windows clients running
|
||||
maxView Storage Manager, check and update one or all of the following system
|
||||
and network settings:
|
||||
|
||||
Windows:
|
||||
* Ensure that the DNS server information is properly configured
|
||||
|
||||
RHEL/Linux:
|
||||
Set server.properties file permissions to at least read-only at all levels
|
||||
1. Stop all maxView services.
|
||||
2. Set the Permissions of server.properties file to read and write or read-
|
||||
only at all levels (Owner, Group and Others). Apply and close.
|
||||
3. Restart all services in the given order - cim, agent, tomcat
|
||||
4. Now try to remote login to this system from any other system
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.7 RAID 10 Segment Order
|
||||
maxView Storage Manager and the Ctrl-A BIOS report the wrong segment order for
|
||||
RAID 10s, regardless of the order in which the drives are selected.
|
||||
|
||||
Example 1: Create RAID 10 with 2 SDDs and 2 HDDs in maxView Storage Manager:
|
||||
(1a) ARCCONF and maxView Storage Manager see the following RAID segment order:
|
||||
Device 2 (S1)
|
||||
Device 1 (H2)
|
||||
Device 3 (S2)
|
||||
Device 0 (H1)
|
||||
|
||||
(1b) the BIOS/CTRL-A sees the following RAID segment order:
|
||||
Device 2 (S1)
|
||||
Device 1 (H2)
|
||||
Device 0 (H1)
|
||||
Device 3 (S2)
|
||||
|
||||
(1c) the correct and expected RAID segment order is:
|
||||
Device 2 (S1)
|
||||
Device 0 (H1)
|
||||
Device 3 (S2)
|
||||
Device 1 (H2)
|
||||
|
||||
Example 2: Create RAID 10 with 2 SDDs and 2 HDDs with ARCCONF:
|
||||
(2a) the BIOS/CTRL-A sees the following RAID segment order:
|
||||
Device 0 (H1)
|
||||
Device 2 (S1)
|
||||
Device 1 (H2)
|
||||
Device 3 (S2)
|
||||
|
||||
(2b) ARCCONF and maxView Storage Manager see the correct RAID segment order:
|
||||
Device 2 (S1)
|
||||
Device 0 (H1)
|
||||
Device 3 (S2)
|
||||
Device 1 (H2)
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.8 RAID 10 Rebuild Order
|
||||
With a degraded RAID 10 logical drive, the drive is rebuilt one leg at a time,
|
||||
not in parallel.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.9 Locate Logical Drive Blink LED
|
||||
In maxView Storage Manager, Locate Logical Drive continues to blink the LED
|
||||
for a pulled physical drive in the array after the locate action is stopped.
|
||||
(For unpulled drives, the blinking stops.) This issue is not seen with
|
||||
ARCCONF.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.10 ARCCONF Backward Compatibility
|
||||
ARCCONF is backward compatible with older Adaptec controller models. As a
|
||||
result, the ARCCONF user's guide and online help show command options that are
|
||||
not supported by newer Adaptec controllers, like the Adaptec Series 7 and
|
||||
Adaptec Series 8 or later products.
|
||||
Example: With ARCCONF SETMAXCACHE, Adaptec Series 7 and Series 8 controllers
|
||||
do not support ADDTOPOOL or REMOVEFROMPOOL.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.11 Updating Hard Disk Firmware on VMware Guest OS
|
||||
Updating the firmware for a SAS hard disk drive with ARCCONF/maxView can crash
|
||||
(PSOD) the VMware Guest OS. This issue is seen with SAS hard drives only; with
|
||||
SATA drives, the firmware update completes successfully.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.12 Hot Swap Issues on VMware CentOS Guest OS
|
||||
Due to a limitation with the VMware CentOS Guest OS network configuration,
|
||||
maxView Storage Manager does not show newly added or removed hot swap drives.
|
||||
(ARCCONF sees the configuration change but maxView does not.)
|
||||
WORKAROUND: (1) reboot the system or restart maxView services; (2) adjust the
|
||||
network configuration; contact Adaptec Support for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.13 Enclosure Status Reporting
|
||||
Enclosure status, in maxView Storage Manager, is event-driven. As a result,
|
||||
enclosures can have a "Degraded" status even if related resources (fan,
|
||||
temperature, power) are performing normally (Optimal status). For instance,
|
||||
the Enclosure status changes to "Degraded" if the system reports an "Enclosure
|
||||
device not responding ..." event, even if other sensor values are normal.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.14 PHY Status on Enclosure Backplanes
|
||||
In the Controller Properties window, maxView Storage Manager shows the
|
||||
Connector Info as "unknown" for all PHYs on an enclosure-based backplane (for
|
||||
instance, a backplane attached to connector 1).
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.15 Special Characters in Logical Device Names
|
||||
Special characters are permitted in logical device names in maxView Storage
|
||||
Manager, the BIOS, and ARCCONF. However, with Linux ARCCONF (create, setname),
|
||||
special characters must be "escaped" to ensure proper interpretation. For
|
||||
example: ARCCONF SETNAME 1 LOGICALDRIVE 1 arc_ldrive%\$12\&
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.16 Speaker Status on SuperMicro SAS2X28 Enclosures
|
||||
SuperMicro SAS2X28 enclosures do not propagate the speaker status to maxView
|
||||
Storage Manager. As a result, maxView always displays the speaker status as
|
||||
Off.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.17 Online Help Issues
|
||||
* Help from the Express Configuration wizard opens the Custom Configuration
|
||||
help panel.
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Open the Express Configuration Help panel from the Help System
|
||||
TOC pane.
|
||||
* When opening the maxView Storage Manager help from a remote Linux system
|
||||
(eg, over a VPN), the help window may fail to open with a 'can't establish
|
||||
connection to server' message.
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Replace 127.0.0.1:8443 in the URL with <system_ip_address>:8443
|
||||
* In IE11, topics in the help may display with a 'Topics Not Found' message
|
||||
when their corresponding links are clicked in the navigation pane of the
|
||||
help.

|
||||
4.1.18 Broadcasting Alerts About Status and Activity
|
||||
This feature is not supported by the maxView Storage Manager or ARCCONF and
|
||||
has been removed from the product documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.19 User-Specified Archive Path
|
||||
While executing the savesupportarchive command where a user-specified path
|
||||
exists, ARCCONF will instead place the logs under the /var/log/ directory.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.20 Clear Configuration Status After Re-Insertion
|
||||
After removing a RAID member and then clearing the controller configuration,
|
||||
maxView Storage Manager recovers the configuration for all RAID volumes and
|
||||
physical drives when the offline drive is re-inserted and the OS restarted. By
|
||||
design, RAID members store metadata about all other virtual devices. This
|
||||
allows the controller to recover the configuration from the re-inserted drive,
|
||||
even though the configuration was previously cleared.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.21 Configuration Changes in Device Manager
|
||||
After disabling/enabling the Microsemi Adaptec controller in the Device
|
||||
Manager, it can take up to 10 minutes for maxView Storage Manager to detect
|
||||
the configuration change.
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Use the Refresh link in the maxView GUI to update the
|
||||
configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
4.2 Limitations for Series 6, 7, 8 Controllers
|
||||
|
||||
4.2.1 RAID-Level Migrations
|
||||
* The following RAID-level migrations (RLM) are supported in this release:
|
||||
* RAID 0 to RAID 5
|
||||
* RAID 0 to RAID 10
|
||||
* RAID 5 to RAID 6
|
||||
* RAID 6 to RAID 5
|
||||
* RAID 10 to RAID 5
|
||||
* RAID 5 to RAID 10
|
||||
* RAID 1 to RAID 5
|
||||
* SIMPLE VOLUME to RAID 1
|
||||
* RAID 1 to SIMPLE VOLUME
|
||||
* When migrating a Simple Volume to RAID 1, maxView Storage Manager reports
|
||||
the logical drive state as Impacted (rather than Reconfiguring); this is
|
||||
normal.
|
||||
* We do not recommend performing a RAID-level migration or Online Capacity
|
||||
Expansion (OCE) on a logical drive with maxCache SSD caching enabled.
|
||||
NOTE: maxView Storage Manager grays out the options for logical drives with
|
||||
maxCache enabled. ARCCONF terminates the task.
|
||||
* Always allow a RAID-level migration to complete before creating a support
|
||||
archive file. Otherwise, the support archive will include incorrect
|
||||
partition information. Once the migration is complete, the partition
|
||||
information will be reported correctly.
|
||||
|
||||
4.2.2 maxCache Device Migration
|
||||
Only one maxCache Device is supported per controller. Moving the maxCache
|
||||
Device (all underlying SSDs) from one controller to another (assuming both
|
||||
controllers support maxCache) is supported only if (1) the new controller does
|
||||
not have a maxCache Device or any other maxCache Device with a conflicting
|
||||
device number and (2) only after a clean shutdown on the old controller.
|
||||
|
||||
4.2.3 ARCCONF maxCache Device Size Issue
|
||||
ARCCONF supports >2TB maxCache Devices if you create the device with the 'max'
|
||||
parameter. However, the functional limit for the maxCache Device is 2TB, which
|
||||
is also the limit in maxView Storage Manager.
|
||||
|
||||
4.2.4 Power Management Issues
|
||||
* Power management is not supported on FreeBSD.
|
||||
* Capturing support logs from maxView or ARCCONF will spin up drives when
|
||||
power management is active. This behavior is by design.
|
||||
* The Logical Drive Creation wizard no longer includes the option to enable
|
||||
power management settings.
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Enable power management for the logical drive from the Set
|
||||
Properties window.
|
||||
|
||||
4.2.5 Verify/Verify with Fix
|
||||
* Incremental progress percentage information in SNMP is not updated for the
|
||||
Verify/Verify_Fix operations. Task progress shows 0% until complete, then
|
||||
100%.
|
||||
* In maxView Storage Manager and ARCCONF, the Verify_Fix operation is NOT
|
||||
available when:
|
||||
1. The logical drive has a non-redundant RAID level.
|
||||
2. Other tasks are in progress on the logical drive.
|
||||
3. The logical drive is in a non-optimal or impacted state.
|
||||
|
||||
4.2.6 ATA Secure Erase
|
||||
In ARCCONF, the ATA Secure Erase operation cannot be aborted. Once started, it
|
||||
continues to completion.
|
||||
In maxView Storage Manager, the drive is locked during ATA Secure Erase. To
|
||||
recover, use the ARCCONF ATAPASSWORD CLEAR <passwd> command; the default
|
||||
password is 'pmc-sierra'.
|
||||
NOTE: ATA Secure Erase is also available in the Ctrl-A BIOS.
|
||||
|
||||
4.2.7 Series 6 Controller Issues
|
||||
The following issues are seen only with Microsemi Adaptec Series 6 RAID
|
||||
controllers:
|
||||
* In maxView Storage Manager, the Preserve Cache option on the Set Properties
|
||||
window is not supported on Series 6 RAID controllers. Attempting to set this
|
||||
option for the Series 6 controller fails.
|
||||
* Renaming a RAID volume disables the write-cache (if enabled). You cannot re-
|
||||
enable the write-cache in maxView Storage Manager.
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Use ARCCONF to enable the write-cache.
|
||||
* In a VMware Guest OS under VMware 5.x, maxView Storage Manager and ARCCONF
|
||||
do not detect existing logical drive partitions. As a result, attempting to
|
||||
delete, clear, or erase the logical drive may fail.
|
||||
* On Series 6 controllers, maxView Storage Manager deletes partitioned JBODs
|
||||
without issuing a warning message.
|
||||
* Series 6 controllers do not support the ARCCONF GETPERFORM command.
|
||||
|
||||
4.2.8 Simple Volume Support
|
||||
* In this release, you can create a maximum of 128 Simple Volumes in maxView
|
||||
Storage Manager, ARCCONF, or the BIOS.
|
||||
* When a Simple Volume fails, the status remains unchanged after drive
|
||||
replacement.
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Manually delete the Simple Volume to remove it.
|
||||
|
||||
4.2.9 Auto-Volume Support
|
||||
* Changing a controller into Auto-Volume mode (ARCCONF/BIOS) is not supported
|
||||
if the configuration includes any logical device type other than Simple
|
||||
Volume, including a maxCache Device. The mode switch from RAID mode to Auto-
|
||||
Volume mode is blocked if any other type of logical volume exists (including
|
||||
maxCache). After switching to Auto-Volume mode, you can create and delete
|
||||
Simple Volumes only in maxView Storage Manager and ARCCONF.
|
||||
* In Auto-Volume mode, only the first 128 RAW drives are converted to Simple
|
||||
Volumes; the rest of the RAW drives remain unchanged. If you uninitialize a
|
||||
Ready drive while the controller is in Auto-Volume mode, the firmware
|
||||
converts the drive automatically until the Simple Volume count reaches the
|
||||
maximum.
|
||||
|
||||
4.2.10 Hot-Removing Disk Drives on Xenserver Guest OS
|
||||
XenServer does not support "hot-removal" of disk drives from a partitioned
|
||||
logical drive. As a result, if you hot remove a disk from a logical drive, the
|
||||
Guest OS becomes inaccessible because the drive partition remains visible to
|
||||
the OS instead of being cleared.
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Reboot the XenServer host, detach the failed partition, then
|
||||
restart the VM.
|
||||
|
||||
4.2.11 Viewing Logical Drive Details After Re-Insertion
|
||||
If you remove/re-insert a RAID member when the controller's "Automatic
|
||||
Failover" property is enabled and there is no hot spare configured/protecting
|
||||
the logical device, you must click on the Refresh link in maxView Storage
|
||||
Manager to view the proper data of the re-inserted drive and RAID volume.
|
||||
|
||||
4.3. Limitations for Smart Family Controllers
|
||||
|
||||
4.3.1 SES Passthrough Commands to Expanders
|
||||
SES passthrough commands to expanders fail.
|
||||
|
||||
4.3.2 Firmware Upgrade Issues
|
||||
For systems using Adaptec HBA 1000 with an Adaptec SAS Expander 82885T card,
|
||||
where the ARCCONF utility is used to upgrade the expander firmware, ARCCONF
|
||||
may crash if 64-bit chunk sizes are used.
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Use 32-bit chunk sizes to upgrade/downgrade the expander firmware.
|
||||
|
||||
4.3.3 Mount Point Information with MPIO Support
|
||||
When Multipath I/O (MPIO) is enabled in Windows, mount point information is
|
||||
not available in maxView or ARCCONF.
|
||||
|
||||
4.3.4 Locate Physical Disk LED Behavior
|
||||
Since the locate commands are executed at the physical device level, the LED
|
||||
that is used to locate physical disks in an array when using ARCCONF/maxView
|
||||
will continue to blink the physical device(s) even after deleting the array.

|
||||
LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE
|
||||
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
6. General

3.3 General Setup Notes
|
||||
|
||||
o maxView Storage Manager supports Adaptec Series 8, Adaptec
|
||||
Series 7, and Adaptec Series 6 controllers. It is not backward
|
||||
compatible with older Adaptec controller models.
|
||||
|
||||
o maxView Storage Manager is not supported on FreeBSD. Use
|
||||
ARCCONF to create and manage arrays.
|
||||
|
||||
o maxView Storage Manager and legacy Adaptec Storage Manager (ASM)
|
||||
cannot coexist on the same system.
|
||||
|
||||
3.4 Remote Access
|
||||
|
||||
maxView Storage Manager requires the following range of ports
|
||||
to be open for remote access:
|
||||
|
||||
o 34570-34580 (TCP)
|
||||
o 34570 (UDP)
|
||||
o 34577-34580 (UDP)
|
||||
|
||||
See also Section 4.12 for OS-specific issues and workarounds.
|
||||
|
||||
3.5 Windows 8 Setup
|
||||
|
||||
To log in and use maxView Storage Manager on a Windows 8 system,
|
||||
you must create a local user account; you cannot use your
|
||||
MS Live account. To create a local user account:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Log into your MS Live account.
|
||||
2. Select Settings->Change PC Settings->Users->Switch to Local user.
|
||||
3. Provide account details.
|
||||
4. Start maxView Storage Manager and log in with your local user
|
||||
account credentials.
|
||||
|
||||
3.6 SLES Setup
|
||||
|
||||
o Due to a JRE conflict, maxView Storage Manager is not
|
||||
supported on SLES 10 SP2/SP3 (x32, x64), and SLES 10 SP4 (x32).
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Install SLES 10 SP4 64-bit then replace the 64-bit
|
||||
JRE with a 32-bit JRE. Alternatively, use ARCCONF for storage
|
||||
management on SLES 10 systems.
|
||||
|
||||
o To avoid a problem with launching maxView Storage Manager on
|
||||
SLES 11 x64 systems with DHCP enabled, ensure that the
|
||||
/etc/hosts file maps the server IP address to a valid host
|
||||
name; it is not sufficient to map the IP address to 'localhost'.
|
||||
|
||||
3.7 Ubuntu Setup
|
||||
|
||||
o To avoid a maxView Login failure on Ubuntu systems, you must
|
||||
ensure that the root user account is enabled. (It is disabled,
|
||||
by default, on Ubuntu 14.04 and later because no password is set.)
|
||||
|
||||
For example: sudo bash; sudo passwd root
|
||||
|
||||
o When upgrading maxView Storage Manager on an existing Ubuntu
|
||||
Linux x64 installation, you must enable the upgrade switch
|
||||
before installing the maxView .deb package:
|
||||
|
||||
export maxView_Upgrade=true
|
||||
dpkg -i StorMan-*.deb
|
||||
|
||||
To uninstall maxView after the upgrade:
|
||||
|
||||
export maxView_Upgrade=false
|
||||
dpkg -r storman
|
||||
|
||||
3.8 Bootable USB Image Security Warnings
|
||||
|
||||
When running maxView Storage Manager from the bootable USB
|
||||
image, you may be prompted with one or more with security
|
||||
warnings before maxView launches. In each case, acknowledge
|
||||
the warning and continue.
|
||||
|
||||
3.9 RAW Device Setup
|
||||
|
||||
On Adaptec Series 7 and Adaptec Series 8 controllers, a RAW
|
||||
Pass Through device is analogous to a JBOD, supported by Adaptec
|
||||
Series 6 controllers and older. Any drive without Adaptec RAID
|
||||
metadata is exposed to the OS as a RAW Pass Through device. To
|
||||
remove the Adaptec metadata and convert the drive to a RAW device,
|
||||
use the Uninitialize command in maxView Storage Manager; any
|
||||
existing data on the drive is destroyed. (You can also run
|
||||
uninit from the BIOS or ARCCONF.) For more information about
|
||||
working with RAW devices, see 'controller modes' in the CLI
|
||||
User's Guide, and BIOS 'general settings' in the RAID Controller
|
||||
Installation and User's Guide.
|
||||
|
||||
3.10 maxView Plugin for VMware vSphere Web Client
|
||||
|
||||
The maxView Plugin for VMware vSphere Web Client is supported
|
||||
on VMware 5.5 only.
|
||||
|
||||
3.11 Firmware Downgrade on Series 8 Board Revision "B1"
|
||||
|
||||
Firmware downgrade from maxView Storage Manager, ARCCONF or the
|
||||
BIOS is not supported on Adaptec Series 8 RAID controllers with
|
||||
Board Revision "B1" (the newest board revision). Older firmware
|
||||
versions do not support Board Revision "B1".
|
||||
|
||||
3.12 Uninstallation Issues
|
||||
|
||||
o When uninstalling maxView Storage Manager on Fedora Linux,
|
||||
the OS displays a series of warning messages about missing
|
||||
files. These messages can be ignored; the uninstallation
|
||||
completes successfully.
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: To avoid the warnings, uninstall maxView with
|
||||
'./StorMan-1.06-21032.i386.bin --remove' rather than
|
||||
'rpm -e StorMan'.
|
||||
|
||||
o When using the 'Modify' option to uninstall maxView Storage
|
||||
Manager on Windows, the 'Adaptec' folder is not removed from
|
||||
the file system.
|
||||
|
||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
4. Known Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
4.1 Login Issues on Windows Domain Server
|
||||
|
||||
If the maxView login account doesn't have local administrative
|
||||
rights, login will fail with an error message: 'Invalid Username
|
||||
or Password'. On domain servers running later versions of Microsoft
|
||||
Windows Server, where no local administrator exists or can be
|
||||
created, maxView login is not possible. Use ARCCONF to create
|
||||
and manage arrays.
|
||||
|
||||
4.2 Hot Spare Issues
|
||||
|
||||
o After using a global hot spare to rebuild a redundant logical
|
||||
drive, maxView Storage Manager displays an erroneous event
|
||||
message: "Deleted dedicated hot spare drive for logical device".
|
||||
In fact, the message should read "Logical device X is no longer
|
||||
protected by hot spare drive Y".
|
||||
|
||||
o maxView Storage Manager allows you to un-assign a global hot
|
||||
spare drive while copyback is in progess. This procedure is
|
||||
not recommended.
|
||||
|
||||
4.3 Dual-Controller Systems
|
||||
|
||||
In dual-controller systems, the controller order in maxView
|
||||
Storage Manager and the BIOS differs. Example: with an
|
||||
Adaptec 72405 and 7805 installed, the BIOS reports
|
||||
the 72405 as controller 1 and the 7805 as controller 2;
|
||||
in the GUI, the controller order is reversed.
|
||||
|
||||
4.4 Email Notifications
|
||||
|
||||
o On Linux systems, we recommend adding the SMTP host name
|
||||
to the /etc/hosts file. Doing so ensures that email
|
||||
notifications will succeed if you specify the email
|
||||
server in maxView Storage Manager by host name. Otherwise,
|
||||
email notifications (including test messages) may fail if
|
||||
the DNS is unable to resolve the host hame.
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: specify the email server in maxView Storage
|
||||
Manager by IP address.
|
||||
|
||||
o On CentOS 5.9 x64, email notifications may not be sent for
|
||||
logical drive creations, degraded logical drives, or logical
|
||||
drives that are rebuilding or fully rebuilt.
|
||||
|
||||
4.5 SGPIO Enclosures
|
||||
|
||||
In this release, maxView Storage Manager does not show connector
|
||||
information for SGPIO enclosures.
|
||||
|
||||
4.6 Non-RAID Mode Controllers
|
||||
|
||||
maxView Storage Manager can "see" RAID controllers operating
|
||||
in HBA mode, Auto-Volume mode, and Simple Volume mode (Adaptec
|
||||
Series 7 and Adaptec Series 8 controllers only). However, to
|
||||
change the controller mode, you must use ARCCONF or the BIOS.
|
||||
|
||||
4.7 RAID-Level Migrations
|
||||
|
||||
o The following RAID-level migrations (RLM) are supported in
|
||||
this release:
|
||||
|
||||
RAID 0 to RAID 5
|
||||
RAID 0 to RAID 10
|
||||
RAID 5 to RAID 6
|
||||
RAID 6 to RAID 5
|
||||
RAID 10 to RAID 5
|
||||
RAID 5 to RAID 10
|
||||
RAID 1 to RAID 5
|
||||
SIMPLE VOLUME to RAID 1
|
||||
RAID 1 to SIMPLE VOLUME
|
||||
|
||||
o When migrating a Simple Volume to RAID 1, maxView Storage
|
||||
Manager reports the logical drive state as Impacted (rather
|
||||
than Reconfiguring); this is normal.
|
||||
|
||||
o We do not recommend performing a RAID-level migration or
|
||||
Online Capacity Expansion (OCE) on a logical drive with
|
||||
maxCache SSD caching enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: maxView Storage Manager grays out the options for logical
|
||||
drives with maxCache enabled. ARCCONF terminates the task.
|
||||
|
||||
o Always allow a RAID-level migration to complete before creating
|
||||
a support archive file. Otherwise, the support archive will
|
||||
include incorrect partition information. Once the migration is
|
||||
complete, the partition information will be reported correctly.
|
||||
|
||||
4.8 maxCache Device Migration
|
||||
|
||||
Only one maxCache Device is supported per controller. Moving
|
||||
the maxCache Device (all underlying SSDs) from one
|
||||
controller to another (assuming both controllers support
|
||||
maxCache) is supported only if (1) the new controller does not
|
||||
have a maxCache Device or any other maxCache Device with a
|
||||
conflicting device number and (2) only after a clean shutdown
|
||||
on the old controller.
|
||||
|
||||
4.9 ARCCONF maxCache Device Size Issue
|
||||
|
||||
ARCCONF supports >2TB maxCache Devices if you create the
|
||||
device with the 'max' parameter. However, the functional
|
||||
limit for the maxCache Device is 2TB, which is also the
|
||||
limit in maxView Storage Manager.
|
||||
|
||||
4.10 Browser Issues
|
||||
|
||||
o To run maxView Storage Manager on the supported browsers,
|
||||
Javascript must be enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
o Due to a certificate bug in Firefox 31.x, maxView login
|
||||
may fail on RHEL systems with a "Secure Connection" error.
|
||||
(Firefox 31.1 is the default browser on RHEL 6.6; on
|
||||
RHEL 7.1, it is 31.4.)
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Upgrade to Firefox 36.
|
||||
|
||||
o With the default Security setting in Microsoft Internet
|
||||
Explorer 10 and 11, you may be unable to login to maxView
|
||||
Storage Manager or experience certain GUI display issues
|
||||
in the maxView online Help system.
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Change the default Security setting from High
|
||||
(or Medium-High) to Medium. Alternative: add the GUI IP
|
||||
address to the trusted sites list.
|
||||
|
||||
o With Google Chrome, the scrollbar resets itself to the top
|
||||
after selecting a drive in the Logical Drive wizard. To
|
||||
select another drive, you must scroll back down to the
|
||||
drive location.
|
||||
|
||||
o With Microsoft Internet Explorer 10, the controller
|
||||
firmware update wizard does not show the f/w update
|
||||
file name when the upload completes. To refresh the
|
||||
display, click Next then Back.
|
||||
|
||||
o We do not recommend using multiple browsers simultaneously
|
||||
on the same maxView instance. Doing so may cause display
|
||||
issues or freezes; to restore maxView, refresh the
|
||||
display by pressing F5.
|
||||
|
||||
4.11 Remote System Access on Linux and Windows
|
||||
|
||||
To avoid remote system access failures from Linux and Windows
|
||||
clients running maxView Storage Manager, check and update one
|
||||
or all of the following system and network settings:
|
||||
|
||||
Windows:
|
||||
|
||||
o Ensure that the DNS server information is properly configured
|
||||
|
||||
RHEL/Linux:
|
||||
|
||||
o Set server.properties file permissions to at least read-only at all levels
|
||||
|
||||
1. Stop all maxView services.
|
||||
2. Set the Permissions of server.properties file to read and write or read-only
|
||||
at all levels (Owner, Group and Others). Apply and close.
|
||||
3. Restart all services in the given order - cim, agent, tomcat
|
||||
4. Now try to remote login to this system from any other system
|
||||
|
||||
o Check/update these network settings:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Disable SELinux
|
||||
2. Disable firewall.
|
||||
3. Disable the ipv6 in the system, if ipconfig shows both ipv4 and ipv6 address.
|
||||
4. Remove the virtual bridge virbr0, if present
|
||||
5. Enter local ip address in 'localip' parameter in server.properties file
|
||||
|
||||
4.12 Power Management Issues
|
||||
|
||||
o Power management is not supported on FreeBSD.
|
||||
|
||||
o Capturing support logs from maxView or ARCCONF will spin up
|
||||
drives when power management is active. This behavior is by design.
|
||||
|
||||
o For logical drives comprised of SSDs only, the Power Tab in
|
||||
maxView Storage Manager is disabled.
|
||||
|
||||
o The Logical Drive Creation wizard does not save the power
|
||||
management settings after the logical drive is created.
|
||||
It is always disabled.
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Enable power management for the logical drive
|
||||
from the Set Properties window.
|
||||
|
||||
4.13 RAID 50/RAID 60, Max Drives
|
||||
|
||||
The maximum number of drives in a RAID 50 or RAID 60 differ
|
||||
between maxView Storage Manager, ARCCONF, and the BIOS:
|
||||
|
||||
o BIOS and ARCCONF: 128 drives max
|
||||
|
||||
RAID 50 - From 2-16 legs with 3-32 drives/leg
|
||||
RAID 60 - From 2-16 legs with 4-16 drives/leg
|
||||
|
||||
o maxView Storage Manager:
|
||||
|
||||
Assumes 2 legs for RAID 50/RAID 60 (non-selectable)
|
||||
RAID 50 2-32 drives/leg (64 total)
|
||||
RAID 60 2-16 drives/leg (32 total)
|
||||
|
||||
4.14 RAID 10 Segment Order
|
||||
|
||||
maxView Storage Manager and the Ctrl-A BIOS report the wrong
|
||||
segment order for RAID 10s, regardless of the order in which
|
||||
the drives are selected.
|
||||
|
||||
Example 1: Create RAID 10 with 2 SDDs and 2 HDDs in maxView Storage Manager:
|
||||
|
||||
(1a) ARCCONF and maxView Storage Manager see the following RAID segment order:
|
||||
Device 2 (S1)
|
||||
Device 1 (H2)
|
||||
Device 3 (S2)
|
||||
Device 0 (H1)
|
||||
|
||||
(1b) the BIOS/CTRL-A sees the following RAID segment order:
|
||||
Device 2 (S1)
|
||||
Device 1 (H2)
|
||||
Device 0 (H1)
|
||||
Device 3 (S2)
|
||||
|
||||
(1c) the correct and expected RAID segment order is:
|
||||
Device 2 (S1)
|
||||
Device 0 (H1)
|
||||
Device 3 (S2)
|
||||
Device 1 (H2)
|
||||
|
||||
Example 2: Create RAID 10 with 2 SDDs and 2 HDDs with ARCCONF:
|
||||
|
||||
(2a) the BIOS/CTRL-A sees the following RAID segment order:
|
||||
Device 0 (H1)
|
||||
Device 2 (S1)
|
||||
Device 1 (H2)
|
||||
Device 3 (S2)
|
||||
|
||||
(2b) ARCCONF and maxView Storage Manager see the correct RAID segment order:
|
||||
Device 2 (S1)
|
||||
Device 0 (H1)
|
||||
Device 3 (S2)
|
||||
Device 1 (H2)
|
||||
|
||||
4.15 RAID 10 Rebuild Order
|
||||
|
||||
With a degraded RAID 10 logical drive, the drive is rebuilt
|
||||
one leg at a time, not in parallel.
|
||||
|
||||
4.16 Verify with Fix
|
||||
|
||||
In maxView Storage Manager and ARCCONF, the Verify with Fix
|
||||
operation is NOT available when:
|
||||
|
||||
1. The logical drive has a non-redundant RAID level
|
||||
2. Other tasks are in progress on the logical drive
|
||||
3. The logical drive is in a non-optimal or impacted state
|
||||
|
||||
4.17 Locate Logical Drive Blink LED
|
||||
|
||||
In maxView Storage Manager, Locate Logical Drive continues to
|
||||
blink the LED for a pulled physical drive in the array after
|
||||
the locate action is stopped. (For unpulled drives, the blinking
|
||||
stops.) This issue is not seen with ARCCONF.
|
||||
|
||||
4.18 ATA Secure Erase
|
||||
|
||||
In ARCCONF, the ATA Secure Erase operation cannot be aborted.
|
||||
Once started, it continues to completion.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: ATA Secure Erase is also available in the Ctrl-A BIOS.
|
||||
and maxView Storage Manager.
|
||||
|
||||
4.19 ARCCONF Backward Compatibility
|
||||
|
||||
ARCCONF is backward compatible with older Adaptec controller
|
||||
models. As a result, the ARCCONF user's guide and online help
|
||||
show command options that are not supported by newer Adaptec
|
||||
controllers, like the Adaptec Series 7 and Adaptec Series 8.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
o With ARCCONF SETMAXCACHE, Adaptec Series 7 and Series 8
|
||||
controllers do not support ADDTOPOOL or REMOVEFROMPOOL
|
||||
|
||||
4.20 Adaptec Series 6 Controller Issues
|
||||
|
||||
The following issues are seen only with Adaptec Series 6 RAID
|
||||
controllers:
|
||||
|
||||
o In maxView Storage Manager, the Preserve Cache option on the
|
||||
Set Properties window is not supported on Series 6 RAID
|
||||
controllers. Attempting to set this option for the Series 6
|
||||
controller fails.
|
||||
|
||||
o Renaming a RAID volume disables the write-cache (if enabled).
|
||||
You cannot re-enable the write-cache in maxView Storage Manager.
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Use ARCCONF to enable the write-cache.
|
||||
|
||||
o In a VMware Guest OS under VMware 5.x, maxView Storage Manager
|
||||
and ARCCONF do not detect existing logical drive partitions.
|
||||
As a result, attempting to delete, clear, or erase the logical
|
||||
drive may fail.
|
||||
|
||||
o On Series 6 controllers, maxView Storage Manager deletes
|
||||
partitioned JBODs without issuing a warning message.
|
||||
|
||||
o Series 6 controllers do not support the ARCCONF GETPERFORM command.
|
||||
|
||||
4.21 Simple Volume Support
|
||||
|
||||
o In this release, you can create a maximum of 128 Simple
|
||||
Volumes in maxView Storage Manager, ARCCONF, or the BIOS.
|
||||
|
||||
o When a Simple Volume fails, the status remains unchanged
|
||||
after drive replacement.
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Manually delete the Simple Volume to remove it.
|
||||
|
||||
4.22 Auto-Volume Support
|
||||
|
||||
o Changing a controller into Auto-Volume mode (ARCCONF/BIOS) is not
|
||||
supported if the configuration includes any logical device type
|
||||
other than Simple Volume, including a maxCache Device. The mode
|
||||
switch from RAID mode to Auto-Volume mode is blocked if any other
|
||||
type of logical volume exists (including maxCache). After
|
||||
switching to Auto-Volume mode, you can create and delete Simple
|
||||
Volumes only in maxView Storage Manager and ARCCONF.
|
||||
|
||||
o In Auto-Volume mode, only the first 128 RAW drives are converted
|
||||
to Simple Volumes; the rest of the RAW drives remain unchanged.
|
||||
If you uninitialize a Ready drive while the controller is in
|
||||
Auto-Volume mode, the firmware converts the drive automatically
|
||||
until the Simple Volume count reaches the maximum.
|
||||
|
||||
4.23 Hot-Removing Disk Drives on Xenserver Guest OS
|
||||
|
||||
XenServer does not support "hot-removal" of disk drives from a
|
||||
partitioned logical drive. As a result, if you hot remove a disk
|
||||
from a logical drive, the Guest OS becomes inaccessible because
|
||||
the drive partition remains visible to the OS instead of being
|
||||
cleared.
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Reboot the XenServer host, detach the failed
|
||||
partition, then restart the VM.
|
||||
|
||||
4.24 Updating Hard Disk Firmware on VMware Guest OS
|
||||
|
||||
Updating the firmware for a SAS hard disk drive with ARCCONF/maxView
|
||||
can crash (PSOD) the VMware Guest OS. This issue is seen with SAS
|
||||
hard drives only; with SATA drives, the firmware update completes
|
||||
successfully.
|
||||
|
||||
4.25 Creating a Support Archive on a Guest OS
|
||||
|
||||
To create a support archive on a VMware or Xenserver Guest OS,
|
||||
use maxView Storage Manager only. Creating a support archive
|
||||
with ARCCONF is not supported in this release.
|
||||
|
||||
4.26 Enclosure Status Reporting
|
||||
|
||||
Enclosure status, in maxView Storage Manager, is event-driven.
|
||||
As a result, enclosures can have a "Degraded" status even if
|
||||
related resources (fan, temperature, power) are performing
|
||||
normally (Optimal status). For instance, the Enclosure status
|
||||
changes to "Degraded" if the system reports an "Enclosure device
|
||||
not responding ..." event, even if other sensor values are normal.
|
||||
|
||||
4.27 PHY Status on Enclosure Backplanes
|
||||
|
||||
In the Controller Properties window, maxView Storage Manager shows
|
||||
the Connector Info as "unknown" for all PHYs on an enclosure-based
|
||||
backplane (for instance, a backplane attached to connector 1).
|
||||
|
||||
4.28 Special Characters in Logical Device Names
|
||||
|
||||
Special characters are permitted in logical device names
|
||||
in maxView Storage Manager, the BIOS, and ARCCONF. However,
|
||||
with Linux ARCCONF (create, setname), special characters
|
||||
must be "escaped" to ensure proper interpretation. For
|
||||
example:
|
||||
|
||||
ARCCONF SETNAME 1 LOGICALDRIVE 1 arc_ldrive%\$12\&
|
||||
|
||||
4.29 Speaker Status on SuperMicro SAS2X28 Enclosures
|
||||
|
||||
SuperMicro SAS2X28 enclosures do not propagate the speaker
|
||||
status to maxView Storage Manager. As a result, maxView
|
||||
always displays the speaker status as Off.
|
||||
|
||||
4.30 Changing Read and Write Cache Settings for a Logical Drive
|
||||
|
||||
maxView Storage Manager does not allow you to change the
|
||||
read-cache and write-cache settings for a logical drive in
|
||||
one step. You must click OK after each change.
|
||||
|
||||
4.31 Online Help Issues
|
||||
|
||||
When opening the maxView Storage Manager help from a remote
|
||||
Linux system (eg, over a VPN), the help window may fail to
|
||||
open with a 'can't establish connection to server' message.
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: replace 127.0.0.1:8443 in the URL with <system_ip_address>:8443

||||
only 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows and Linux.
|
||||
2. Boot USB (offline or pre-boot) for the ARCCONF Command
|
||||
Line Utility and maxView Storage Manager is supported
|
||||
in Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
3.3. General Setup Notes
|
||||
|
||||
o maxView Storage Manager is not backwards-compatible with
|
||||
Series 5 and older Adaptec controller models.
|
||||
o maxView Storage Manager and legacy Adaptec Storage Manager
|
||||
(ASM) cannot coexist on the same system.
|
||||
o For Series 6, 7, 8 controllers:
|
||||
- maxView Storage Manager is not supported on FreeBSD.
|
||||
Use ARCCONF to create and manage arrays.
|
||||
|
||||
3.4. Remote Access
|
||||
|
||||
maxView Storage Manager requires the following range of
|
||||
ports to be open for remote access:
|
||||
o 34570-34580 (TCP)
|
||||
o 34570 (UDP)
|
||||
o 34577-34580 (UDP)
|
||||
See also 4.1.6 for OS-specific issues and workarounds.
|
||||
|
||||
3.5. Windows 8 Setup
|
||||
|
||||
To log in and use maxView Storage Manager on a Windows 8
|
||||
system, you must create a local user account; you cannot
|
||||
use your MS Live account.
|
||||
To create a local user account:
|
||||
1. Log into your MS Live account.
|
||||
2. Select Settings->Change PC Settings->Users->Switch to
|
||||
Local user.
|
||||
3. Provide account details.
|
||||
4. Start maxView Storage Manager and log in with your
|
||||
local user account credentials.
|
||||
|
||||
3.6. SLES Setup
|
||||
|
||||
o To avoid a problem with launching maxView Storage
|
||||
Manager on SLES 11 x64 systems with DHCP enabled,
|
||||
ensure that the /etc/hosts file maps the server
|
||||
IP address to a valid host name; it is not sufficient
|
||||
to map the IP address to 'localhost'.
|
||||
|
||||
3.7. Ubuntu Setup
|
||||
|
||||
o To avoid a maxView Login failure on Ubuntu systems,
|
||||
you must ensure that the root user account is enabled.
|
||||
(It is disabled, by default, on Ubuntu 14.04
|
||||
and later because no password is set.)
|
||||
For example: sudo bash; sudo passwd root
|
||||
o When upgrading maxView Storage Manager on an existing
|
||||
Ubuntu Linux x64 installation, you must enable the
|
||||
upgrade switch before installing the maxView .deb
|
||||
package:
|
||||
export maxView_Upgrade=true
|
||||
dpkg -i StorMan-*.deb
|
||||
To uninstall maxView after the upgrade:
|
||||
export maxView_Upgrade=false
|
||||
dpkg -r storman
|
||||
|
||||
3.8. Bootable USB Image Security Warnings
|
||||
|
||||
When running maxView Storage Manager from the bootable
|
||||
USB image, you may be prompted with one or more with
|
||||
security warnings before maxView launches. In
|
||||
each case, acknowledge the warning and continue.
|
||||
|
||||
3.9. RAW Device Setup (Series 6, 7, 8 Only)
|
||||
|
||||
On Adaptec Series 7 and Adaptec Series 8 controllers,
|
||||
a RAW Pass Through device is analogous to a JBOD, supported
|
||||
by Adaptec Series 6 controllers and older. Any drive without
|
||||
Adaptec RAID metadata is exposed to the OS as a RAW Pass
|
||||
Through device. To remove the Adaptec metadata and convert
|
||||
the drive to a RAW device, use the Uninitialize command in
|
||||
maxView Storage Manager; any existing data on the drive is
|
||||
destroyed. (You can also run uninit from the BIOS or
|
||||
ARCCONF.) For more information about working with RAW devices,
|
||||
see 'controller modes' in the CLI User's Guide, and BIOS
|
||||
'general settings' in the RAID Controller Installation and
|
||||
User's Guide.
|
||||
|
||||
3.10. maxView Plugin for VMware vSphere Web Client
|
||||
|
||||
The maxView Plugin for VMware vSphere Web Client is
|
||||
supported on VMware 5.5 and 6.0.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Known Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
4.1. Global Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.1. Dual-Controller Systems
|
||||
|
||||
In dual-controller systems, the controller order in
|
||||
maxView Storage Manager and the BIOS differs. Example:
|
||||
with an Adaptec 72405 and 7805 installed, the BIOS reports
|
||||
the 72405 as controller 1 and the 7805 as controller 2;
|
||||
in the GUI, the controller order is reversed.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.2. Email Notifications
|
||||
|
||||
o On Linux systems, we recommend adding the SMTP host
|
||||
name and the system IP address, to the /etc/hosts file.
|
||||
Doing so ensures that email notifications will succeed
|
||||
if you specify the email server in maxView Storage
|
||||
Manager by host name. Otherwise, email notifications
|
||||
(including test messages) may fail if the DNS is unable
|
||||
to resolve the host name.
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Specify the email server in maxView Storage
|
||||
Manager by IP address.
|
||||
|
||||
o On CentOS 5.9 x64, email notifications may not be sent
|
||||
for logical drive creations, degraded logical drives,
|
||||
or logical drives that are rebuilding or fully rebuilt.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.3. SGPIO Enclosures
|
||||
|
||||
In this release, maxView Storage Manager does not show
|
||||
connector information for SGPIO enclosures.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.4. Non-RAID Mode Controllers
|
||||
|
||||
maxView Storage Manager can "see" RAID controllers
|
||||
operating in HBA mode, Auto-Volume mode, and Simple Volume
|
||||
mode (Adaptec Series 7, Adaptec Series 8, Smart Family
|
||||
controllers only). However, to change the controller mode
|
||||
on Adaptec Series 7/8 controllers, you must use ARCCONF
|
||||
or the BIOS. With Adaptec Smart-Family controllers, you
|
||||
can also change the controller mode with maxView Storage
|
||||
Manager.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.5. Browser Issues
|
||||
|
||||
To run maxView Storage Manager on the supported browsers.
|
||||
Javascript must be enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
o Due to a certificate bug in Firefox 31.x, maxView
|
||||
login may fail on RHEL systems with a "Secure
|
||||
Connection" error. (Firefox 31.1 is the default
|
||||
browser on RHEL 6.6; on RHEL 7.1, it is 31.4.)
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Upgrade to Firefox 36.
|
||||
|
||||
o With the default Security setting in Microsoft
|
||||
Internet Explorer 10 and 11, you may be unable to
|
||||
login to maxView Storage Manager or experience
|
||||
certain GUI display issues in the maxView online
|
||||
Help system.
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Change the default Security setting
|
||||
from High (or Medium-High) to Medium.
|
||||
Alternative: add the GUI IP address to the trusted
|
||||
sites list.
|
||||
|
||||
o With Google Chrome, the scrollbar resets itself to
|
||||
the top after selecting a drive in the Logical Drive
|
||||
wizard. To select another drive, you must
|
||||
scroll back down to the drive location.
|
||||
|
||||
o With Microsoft Internet Explorer 10, the controller
|
||||
firmware update wizard does not show the f/w update
|
||||
file name when the upload completes. To refresh
|
||||
the display, click Next then Back.
|
||||
|
||||
o We do not recommend using multiple browsers
|
||||
simultaneously on the same maxView
|
||||
instance. Doing so may cause display issues or freezes;
|
||||
to restore maxView, refresh the display by pressing F5.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.6. Remote System Access on Linux and Windows
|
||||
|
||||
To avoid remote system access failures from Linux
|
||||
and Windows clients running maxView Storage Manager,
|
||||
check and update one or all of the following system
|
||||
and network settings:
|
||||
|
||||
Windows:
|
||||
o Ensure that the DNS server information is properly
|
||||
configured
|
||||
|
||||
RHEL/Linux:
|
||||
|
||||
o Set server.properties file permissions to at least
|
||||
read-only at all levels
|
||||
1. Stop all maxView services.
|
||||
2. Set the Permissions of server.properties file to
|
||||
read and write or read-only at all levels
|
||||
(Owner, Group and Others).
|
||||
3. Apply and close.
|
||||
4. Restart all services in the given order - cim,
|
||||
agent, tomcat
|
||||
5. Now try to remote login to this system from any
|
||||
other system
|
||||
|
||||
o Check/update these network settings:
|
||||
1. Disable SELinux
|
||||
2. Disable firewall.
|
||||
3. Disable the ipv6 in the system, if ipconfig shows
|
||||
both ipv4 and ipv6 address.
|
||||
4. Remove the virtual bridge virbr0, if present
|
||||
5. Enter local ip address in 'localip' parameter in
|
||||
server.properties file
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.7. RAID 10 Segment Order
|
||||
|
||||
maxView Storage Manager and the Ctrl-A BIOS report the
|
||||
wrong segment order for RAID 10s, regardless of the order
|
||||
in which the drives are selected.
|
||||
Example 1: Create RAID 10 with 2 SDDs and 2 HDDs in maxView
|
||||
Storage Manager:
|
||||
|
||||
(1a) ARCCONF and maxView Storage Manager see the
|
||||
following RAID segment order:
|
||||
Device 2 (S1)
|
||||
Device 1 (H2)
|
||||
Device 3 (S2)
|
||||
Device 0 (H1)
|
||||
|
||||
(1b) the BIOS/CTRL-A sees the following RAID segment
|
||||
order:
|
||||
Device 2 (S1)
|
||||
Device 1 (H2)
|
||||
Device 0 (H1)
|
||||
Device 3 (S2)
|
||||
|
||||
(1c) the correct and expected RAID segment order is:
|
||||
Device 2 (S1)
|
||||
Device 0 (H1)
|
||||
Device 3 (S2)
|
||||
Device 1 (H2)
|
||||
|
||||
Example 2: Create RAID 10 with 2 SDDs and 2 HDDs
|
||||
with ARCCONF:
|
||||
|
||||
(2a) the BIOS/CTRL-A sees the following RAID segment
|
||||
order:
|
||||
Device 0 (H1)
|
||||
Device 2 (S1)
|
||||
Device 1 (H2)
|
||||
Device 3 (S2)
|
||||
|
||||
(2b) ARCCONF and maxView Storage Manager see the
|
||||
correct RAID segment order:
|
||||
Device 2 (S1)
|
||||
Device 0 (H1)
|
||||
Device 3 (S2)
|
||||
Device 1 (H2)
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.8. RAID 10 Rebuild Order
|
||||
|
||||
With a degraded RAID 10 logical drive, the drive is
|
||||
rebuilt one leg at a time, not in parallel.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.9. Locate Logical Drive Blink LED
|
||||
|
||||
In maxView Storage Manager, Locate Logical Drive
|
||||
continues to blink the LED for a pulled physical drive
|
||||
in the array after the locate action is stopped.
|
||||
(For unpulled drives, the blinking stops.) This issue is
|
||||
not seen with ARCCONF.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.10. ARCCONF Backward Compatibility
|
||||
|
||||
ARCCONF is backward compatible with older Adaptec
|
||||
controller models. As a result, the ARCCONF user's guide
|
||||
and online help show command options that are not
|
||||
supported by newer Adaptec controllers, like the
|
||||
Adaptec Series 7 and Adaptec Series 8 or later products.
|
||||
|
||||
Example: With ARCCONF SETMAXCACHE, Adaptec Series 7 and
|
||||
Series 8 controllers do not support ADDTOPOOL or
|
||||
REMOVEFROMPOOL
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.11. Updating Hard Disk Firmware on VMware Guest OS
|
||||
|
||||
Updating the firmware for a SAS hard disk drive with
|
||||
ARCCONF/maxView can crash (PSOD) the VMware Guest OS.
|
||||
This issue is seen with SAS hard drives only; with
|
||||
SATA drives, the firmware update completes successfully.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.12. Hot Swap Issues on VMware CentOS Guest OS
|
||||
|
||||
Due to a limitation with the VMware CentOS Guest OS
|
||||
network configuration, maxView Storage Manager does not
|
||||
show newly added or removed hot swap drives.
|
||||
(ARCCONF sees the configuration change but maxView
|
||||
does not.)
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: (1) reboot the system or restart maxView
|
||||
services; (2) adjust the network configuration; contact
|
||||
Adaptec Support for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.13. Enclosure Status Reporting
|
||||
|
||||
Enclosure status, in maxView Storage Manager, is
|
||||
event-driven. As a result, enclosures can have a
|
||||
"Degraded" status even if related resources (fan,
|
||||
temperature, power) are performing normally (Optimal
|
||||
status). For instance, the Enclosure status changes
|
||||
to "Degraded" if the system reports an "Enclosure
|
||||
device not responding ..." event, even if other sensor
|
||||
values are normal.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.14. PHY Status on Enclosure Backplanes
|
||||
|
||||
In the Controller Properties window, maxView Storage
|
||||
Manager shows the Connector Info as "unknown" for all
|
||||
PHYs on an enclosure-based backplane (for instance, a
|
||||
backplane attached to connector 1).
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.15. Special Characters in Logical Device Names
|
||||
|
||||
Special characters are permitted in logical device
|
||||
names in maxView Storage Manager, the BIOS, and ARCCONF.
|
||||
However, with Linux ARCCONF (create, setname), special
|
||||
characters must be "escaped" to ensure proper
|
||||
interpretation. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
ARCCONF SETNAME 1 LOGICALDRIVE 1 arc_ldrive%\$12\&
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.16. Speaker Status on SuperMicro SAS2X28 Enclosures
|
||||
|
||||
SuperMicro SAS2X28 enclosures do not propagate
|
||||
the speaker status to maxView Storage Manager. As
|
||||
a result, maxView always displays the speaker
|
||||
status as Off.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.17. Online Help Issues
|
||||
|
||||
o When opening the maxView Storage Manager help
|
||||
from a remote Linux system (eg, over a VPN), the
|
||||
help window may fail to open with a 'can't establish
|
||||
connection to server' message.
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: replace 127.0.0.1:8443 in the URL with
|
||||
<system_ip_address>:8443
|
||||
|
||||
o In IE11, topics in the help may display with a 'Topics
|
||||
Not Found' message when their corresponding links are
|
||||
clicked in the navigation pane of the help.
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: click on the "Add" browser link to add
|
||||
certification to view the content.
|
||||
|
||||
4.1.18. Broadcasting Alerts About Status and Activity
|
||||
|
||||
This feature is not supported by the maxView Storage
|
||||
Manager or ARCCONF and has been removed from the product
|
||||
documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
4.2. Limitations Specific to Series 6, 7, 8 Controllers
|
||||
|
||||
4.2.1. RAID-Level Migrations
|
||||
|
||||
o The following RAID-level migrations (RLM) are
|
||||
supported in this release:
|
||||
- RAID 0 to RAID 5
|
||||
- RAID 0 to RAID 10
|
||||
- RAID 5 to RAID 6
|
||||
- RAID 6 to RAID 5
|
||||
- RAID 10 to RAID 5
|
||||
- RAID 5 to RAID 10
|
||||
- RAID 1 to RAID 5
|
||||
- SIMPLE VOLUME to RAID 1
|
||||
- RAID 1 to SIMPLE VOLUME
|
||||
|
||||
o When migrating a Simple Volume to RAID 1, maxView
|
||||
Storage Manager reports the logical drive state as
|
||||
Impacted (rather than Reconfiguring);
|
||||
this is normal.
|
||||
|
||||
o We do not recommend performing a RAID-level
|
||||
migration or Online Capacity Expansion (OCE)
|
||||
on a logical drive with maxCache SSD caching
|
||||
enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: maxView Storage Manager grays out the
|
||||
options for logical drives with maxCache enabled.
|
||||
ARCCONF terminates the task.
|
||||
|
||||
o Always allow a RAID-level migration to complete
|
||||
before creating a support archive file. Otherwise,
|
||||
the support archive will include incorrect
|
||||
partition information. Once the migration is
|
||||
complete, the partition information will be reported
|
||||
correctly.
|
||||
|
||||
4.2.2. maxCache Device Migration
|
||||
|
||||
Only one maxCache Device is supported per controller.
|
||||
Moving the maxCache Device (all underlying SSDs) from
|
||||
one controller to another (assuming both controllers
|
||||
support maxCache) is supported only if (1) the new
|
||||
controller does not have a maxCache Device or any other
|
||||
maxCache Device with a conflicting device number and
|
||||
(2) only after a clean shutdown
|
||||
on the old controller.
|
||||
|
||||
4.2.3. ARCCONF maxCache Device Size Issue
|
||||
|
||||
ARCCONF supports >2TB maxCache Devices if you create
|
||||
the device with the 'max' parameter. However, the
|
||||
functional limit for the maxCache Device is 2TB,
|
||||
which is also the limit in maxView Storage Manager.
|
||||
|
||||
4.2.4. Power Management Issues
|
||||
|
||||
o Power management is not supported on FreeBSD.
|
||||
|
||||
o Capturing support logs from maxView or ARCCONF
|
||||
will spin up drives when power management is
|
||||
active. This behavior is by design.
|
||||
|
||||
o The Logical Drive Creation wizard no longer
|
||||
includes the option to enable power management settings.
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Enable power management for the
|
||||
logical drive from the Set Properties window.
|
||||
|
||||
4.2.5. Verify with Fix
|
||||
|
||||
In maxView Storage Manager and ARCCONF, the Verify
|
||||
with Fix operation is NOT available when:
|
||||
|
||||
1. The logical drive has a non-redundant RAID level
|
||||
2. Other tasks are in progress on the logical drive
|
||||
3. The logical drive is in a non-optimal or impacted state
|
||||
|
||||
4.2.6. ATA Secure Erase
|
||||
|
||||
In ARCCONF, the ATA Secure Erase operation cannot
|
||||
be aborted. Once started, it continues to completion.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: ATA Secure Erase is also available in the
|
||||
Ctrl-A BIOS and maxView Storage Manager.
|
||||
|
||||
4.2.7. Series 6 Controller Issues
|
||||
|
||||
The following issues are seen only with Adaptec
|
||||
Series 6 RAID controllers:
|
||||
o In maxView Storage Manager, the Preserve Cache
|
||||
option on the Set Properties window is not
|
||||
supported on Series 6 RAID controllers. Attempting
|
||||
to set this option for the Series 6 controller fails.
|
||||
|
||||
o Renaming a RAID volume disables the write-cache
|
||||
(if enabled). You cannot re-enable the write-cache
|
||||
in maxView Storage Manager.
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Use ARCCONF to enable the write-cache.
|
||||
|
||||
o In a VMware Guest OS under VMware 5.x, maxView
|
||||
Storage Manager and ARCCONF do not detect existing
|
||||
logical drive partitions. As a result,
|
||||
attempting to delete, clear, or erase the logical
|
||||
drive may fail.
|
||||
|
||||
o On Series 6 controllers, maxView Storage Manager
|
||||
deletes partitioned JBODs without issuing a
|
||||
warning message.
|
||||
|
||||
o Series 6 controllers do not support the ARCCONF
|
||||
GETPERFORM command.
|
||||
|
||||
4.2.8. Simple Volume Support
|
||||
|
||||
o In this release, you can create a maximum of 128
|
||||
Simple Volumes in maxView Storage Manager, ARCCONF,
|
||||
or the BIOS.
|
||||
|
||||
o When a Simple Volume fails, the status remains
|
||||
unchanged after drive replacement.
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Manually delete the Simple Volume to
|
||||
remove it.
|
||||
|
||||
4.2.9. Auto-Volume Support
|
||||
|
||||
o Changing a controller into Auto-Volume mode
|
||||
(ARCCONF/BIOS) is not supported if the configuration
|
||||
includes any logical device type other than Simple
|
||||
Volume, including a maxCache Device. The mode switch
|
||||
from RAID mode to Auto-Volume mode is blocked if any
|
||||
other type of logical volume exists (including
|
||||
maxCache). After switching to Auto-Volume mode,
|
||||
you can create and delete Simple Volumes
|
||||
only in maxView Storage Manager and ARCCONF.
|
||||
|
||||
o In Auto-Volume mode, only the first 128 RAW drives
|
||||
are converted to Simple Volumes; the rest of the
|
||||
RAW drives remain unchanged. If you uninitialize
|
||||
a Ready drive while the controller is in Auto-Volume
|
||||
mode, the firmware converts the drive automatically
|
||||
until the Simple Volume count reaches the maximum.
|
||||
|
||||
4.2.10. Hot-Removing Disk Drives on Xenserver Guest OS
|
||||
|
||||
XenServer does not support "hot-removal" of disk
|
||||
drives from a partitioned logical drive. As a result,
|
||||
if you hot remove a disk from a logical drive,
|
||||
the Guest OS becomes inaccessible because the drive
|
||||
partition remains visible to the OS instead of being cleared.
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Reboot the XenServer host, detach the
|
||||
failed partition, then restart the VM.
|
||||
|
||||
4.2.11. Changing Read and Write Cache Settings for
|
||||
Logical Drive
|
||||
|
||||
maxView Storage Manager does not allow you to change
|
||||
the read-cache and write-cache settings for a logical drive
|
||||
in one step. You must click OK after each change.
|
||||
|
||||
4.3. Limitations Specific to Smart Family Controllers
|
||||
|
||||
4.3.1. SES Passthrough Commands to Expanders
|
||||
|
||||
SES passthrough commands to expanders fail.
|
||||
|
||||
4.3.2 Firmware Upgrade Issues
|
||||
|
||||
For systems using Adaptec HBA 1000 with an Adaptec
|
||||
SAS Expander 82885T card, where the ARCCONF utility
|
||||
is used to upgrade the expander firmware, ARCCONF
|
||||
may crash if 64-bit chunk sizes are used.
|
||||
|
||||
WORKAROUND: Use 32-bit chunk sizes to upgrade/downgrade
|
||||
the expander firmware.
