General limitations
The following configuration limitations and caveats apply regardless of
whether Navisphere Express or Navisphere Manager is used to manage
an AX150-series storage system.
Use of the Navisphere Server Utility View/Update Server to SP
connections option under a guest OS running in a virtual machine
will cause incorrect server information to be displayed in
Navisphere. Use this option only under the ESX Server Service
Console. Access to user data will not be affected.
SnapView
™
source virtual disks provided by the AX150-series
storage system must be configured on an ESX Server system as raw
device mappings (RDMs). Snapshots cannot be assigned to the ESX
Server system, but must instead be presented to a server running an
operating system of another type. Virtual devices that are not used
for SnapView snapshot operations may reside on VMFS Volumes.
VSS is not supported.
Navisphere Express limitations
The following configuration limitations and caveats apply when an
AX150-series storage system is managed using Navisphere Express.
Snapshots cannot be assigned to ESX Server. This is not a restriction
for Navisphere Manager.
When using RDMs, the source virtual disk can be assigned to only
one ESX Server. This is not an issue for Navisphere Manager.
Navisphere Manager limitations
When an AX150-series storage system is managed using Navisphere
Manager, a snapshot disk and the underlying source virtual disk
may both be assigned to the same ESX Server system as long as they
are not both visible to the same guest OS running on the same ESX
Server.
