Known issues

▪ Error: Hitachi PowerShell Snapin logs at C:\Program Files\Hitachi\PowerShell\log\HiStorAPI.log has error "RMI Error Name: HISTOR_ERROR_RMI_CONNECTION_FAILED". This could happen if the RMI server service on the SVP could not be started. The storage admin needs to update JAVA to the latest version on the storage SVP windows system and make sure that the RMI server service is UP and running.

▪ Allow-SystemDriveAccess does not return error when it fails due to System Drive of low capacity.

▪ Get-QuorumDisk output shows VSP_GX00 RemoteSubsystemType for VSP-E990 storage.
