- With Linux kernel versions 2.4 and 2.6, the ARCCONF
DELETE <logical_drive> command may fail with a Kernel Oops
error message. Even though the drives are removed from the
Adaptec Storage Manager GUI, they may not really be deleted.
Reboot the controller; then, issue the ARCCONF DELETE command
again.
6.2 iSCSI Storage Notes
- When no pool space is available, all snapshots within the pool
go offline.
- If you create a pool, reboot your iSCSI Storage
appliance with an alternative image, then delete the pool,
the pool appears with an offline status when you reboot with
the original image. You cannot delete an offline pool.
- If you change the IP address of a controller used in a mirror,
you may see the error message "N-way mirroring not supported"
when you try to create a mirror on that controller. To avoid
this error, use the CLI to update the corresponding entry in
the controller list for each mirror partner controller to
reflect the address change. If the controller is no longer
a mirror partner, remove the entry.
- In a configuration with multiple iSCSI storage appliances,
if you remove a drive used in a pool, all remaining drives
in the pool may disappear from the GUI and CLI device list.
To refresh the GUI and CLI device list, you must power down
and power up the appliance.
- Under rare conditions, configuration changes made with the
Adaptec Storage Manager GUI or CLI may be lost when you reboot
your iSCSI storage appliance with an alternate image.
- When you export multiple pools, Adaptec Storage Manager displays
only the most recent one in the Logical devices view. When you
import a RAID configuration, the next most recent foreign pool
is displayed; and so on.
- When setting advanced options for an iSCSI initiator, Adaptec
Storage Manager and the CLI use different names for the same
option: 'Separate status PDU' and 'Piggybacking of SCSI status',
respectively.
- Drive numbering in Adaptec Storage Manager and the CLI is not
consistent. Adaptec Storage Manager uses the drive's WWN
(World Wide Name). The CLI uses the drive's device ID.
- When creating snapshots of one or more volumes, the Microsoft VSS
provider may timeout, resulting in an incomplete snapshot set.
- Do not export a pool with the CLI EXPORT command while it is
rebuilding or synchronizing. It will appear as an 'alien' pool
when you move it to a new iSCSI storage appliance. You cannot
import an alien pool.
- Be patient when importing a foreign pool with the CLI IMPORT
command. It may take up to 3 minutes for the system to recognize
the drives and verify the meta data before the pool appears in
the pool list.
- In the Adaptec Storage Manager Properties panel, some properties
