that the current file settings
may be erased The Share and Storage Management wizard allows you to create a new
shared folder in an existing shared folder without warning that this may
erase the File Screen settings of the existing shared folder.

Long failover time on the
PowerVault MD3000 storage
array The PowerVault NX1950 storage solution supports redundant paths
through a single or dual Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS) Host Bus Adapter
(HBA) controller. When you configure the PowerVault NX1950 storage
solution to support a redundant path through a single controller, the
failover takes a longer time during heavy input/output. However, there is
no loss of data due to a delay in failover. For more information, see the Knowledge Base
article 940467 at the Microsoft Support
website at support.mircosoft.com.

results in a storagemgmt.dll
console error. If you run the Share Provision wizard from Share and Storage
Management wizard after uninstalling the File Server Resource Manager

NOTE: After reinstalling the File Server
Resource Manager, the PowerVault NX1950
Management Console shows two similar
consoles.
The Storage Manager for
SANs console does not remove
the available drive letters
assigned to a volume. When two Create LUN operations are performed in rapid succession, the
Storage Manager for SANs console does not remove the available drive
letters. This issue is indicated by an error message related to volume
creation failure. To work around this issue, use the Disk
Management console to create volumes
manually or wait for a few seconds for the
used drive letter to be removed from the
Storage Manager for SANs console.
Deleted drives or volumes in
the Disk Management console
cause the system to crash. After you delete a volume through the Storage Manager for SANs
console, the volume continues to display under the Disk Management
console. If you select the deleted volume, the PowerVault NX1950
Management Console crashes. To avoid this issue, use the Share and
Storage Manager console to delete the
volume.
VDS errors are reported in the
Windows application log. While creating or deleting LUNs, the following error message is reported in
the Windows application log:
Storage Manager for SANs encountered the following error(s) while
loading information from Virtual Disk Service (VDS) or VDS hardware
provider(s). Some of the functionality may not be available on the
hardware provider(s).
To work around this issue, set the password
on the storage array using the SMReg tool.
