Dell POWERVAULT MD3620I - Manual (Page 72)

How Can I Maximize Client Performance
The Dell MD Storage Array vCenter Plug-in is a client-side, intensive application. A fast CPU client, with sufficient
memory to avoid page swapping, provides the best environment for running the vSphere Client.
How Do I Suppress Slow Script Warning Messages
Depending on the size of the storage array being managed, some of the views might generate a slow script warning
message and delay the processing of the view. These warning messages can be suppressed by applying the following
registry change on the host the vSphere Client is being run from, as detailed in Microsoft Knowledge Base article at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/175500
• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Styles
• DWORD MaxScriptStatements set to 0xFFFFFFFF
Why Can I Not Make Changes To The Storage Array
You can perform a Clear Configuration operation in Modular Disk Storage Manager (MDSM) that results in one of two
outcomes:
• A Clear Configuration operation on a disk group only deletes the virtual disk configuration. The storage array
name does not change, so the MD vCenter Plug-in still sees the same storage array name.
• A Clear Configuration operation on a storage array clears the entire configuration and changes the storage
array name to the default name. After a Clear Configuration operation, the MD vCenter Plug-in considers the
storage array to be a first-time installation. For the MD vCenter Plug-in to recognize the storage array, perform
the following actions:
a. Remove the storage array from the MD vCenter Plug-in.
b. In MDSM, rename the storage array.
c. Re-add the storage array to the MD vCenter Plug-in.

Long Timeout For SAS ESX Host Wizard Operation
When attempting to configure SAS HBAs on an ESX/ESXi host with unsupported SAS HBA cards, the wizard may not
timeout after 15 minutes. To fix the issue, close and restart the vSphere Client.
