Known Problems

Follow these guidelines to avoid data loss during upgrades:
•
When configuring applications, make sure that you do not write persistent
application data to a disk that has a boot partition or a paging file, or is declared to
be a system disk in an Active Upgrade configuration file.
•
When creating Active Upgrade configuration files, do not declare a disk that
contains persistent application data to be a system disk.
•
When configuring paging files, do not place them on disks that contain persistent
application data.
For information about correctly using Active Upgrade™ software, see the
Express5800/320Ma: Active Upgrade User's Guide.
Avoiding Problems with the EMC

installing the EMC utility SANSurfer FC HBA Manager. This utility prevents failover of
®
QLogic host bus adapters (HBAs). It also prevents Active Upgrade from working .

Configuring VTMs
The SMM Admin Dialback Number, a configuration setting for Virtual Technician
Modules (VTMs), is not yet implemented. You can configure a dialback number for your
administrator account, but when you dial in to a VTM, it does not hang up the
connection and dial the dialback number. When you dial into and log into the VTM, the
connection remains established until you log out and hang up. See the
Express5800/320Ma Virtual Technician Module User's Guide for additional information
on configuring VTMs.
