Managing UPS Services Through the NAS Manager
===============================================================
Problem:
When I tried to start/stop the UPS management service, the system generated a 413E010D
UPS CONFIGURATION error message on the NAS Manager Status page and required the
system to be rebooted to clear.

Solution:
When managing a UPS attached to the NAS system through the NAS Manager, always use the
Maintenance--> UPS link to configure and start the UPS management service. Using any other
link to start/stop the UPS services may generate an error.

===============================================================
1 TB Limit When Upgrading to Dynamic Disk
===============================================================
Problem:
When I try to convert any disk over 1 TB to dynamic using Disk Management (LDM), an error
message states that the operation did not complete and to check the system event log for more
information. However, no error appears in the event log

Cause:
Disk Management currently does not allow you to upgrade disks larger than 1 TB to dynamic disks.

Solution:
A Knowledge Base article that discusses this issue and gives information on how to obtain a fix.
Search for Knowledge Base article 826823 on www.micorsoft.com for more information.
Also, you can use the DISKPART utility to convert disks larger than 1 TB to dynamic.
