Issue

Possible Cause

Resolution

I just created a new volume on my system but

cannot see the volume on Windows Explorer

through Terminal Services.

Terminal Services cannot

update to show a new

volume during the session

in which it was created.

Exit from Terminal Services, and then

reconnect. The volume should now be

visible.

I am trying to select the Administer My

Appliance link on the opening page of the

PowerVault NAS Manager, but the link does not

function properly.

The user account that you

used to log on to the

domain does not have

administrator privileges.

The link does not work for

people without

administrator privileges.

Type the address of the PowerVault NAS

Manager manually in your browser. For

non-SSL connections, type:

http://address>:1278.

For SSL connections,

type: https://address>:1279

.

I have just deleted a volume, and now I am

unable to view my shares in the Dell PowerVault

NAS Manager.

In the event that a

volume with shares is

deleted, PowerVault NAS

Manager cannot display

any shares until the

shares that were directed

to the deleted volume are

removed.

Use Terminal Services Advanced Client

to remove the shares for the deleted

volume. Exit PowerVault NAS Manager,

and restart the system. The shares

should now be visible.

I have just added an HTTP share but cannot see

it from PowerVault NAS Manager.

For security purposes,

directory browsing is not

enabled by default on an

HTTP share directed to

the same folder or volume

as another share for

security purposes.

To enable directory sharing for an HTTP

share, from the PowerVault NAS

Manager Maintenance page, click

Terminal Services Advanced Client,

and then modify the Web sharing

properties of the folder.

I have just changed the IP address of my

system, and now I cannot administrate it

through PowerVault NAS Manager.

Although the IP address

changed, your local host

is still trying to

communicate with the

system using the old IP

address.

Close Microsoft Internet Explorer (or for

Linux only, Netscape 6.1 or later).

Restart the PowerVault NAS Manager.

In PowerVault NAS Manager, if I click OK, and

then click Cancel, it doesn't seem to cancel the

operation.

Cancel does not

dynamically stop an

update to the system

after you click OK.

If an operation has been performed in

error, the system administrator must

change the setting back manually.

I see the following error message in the event

log: WMI ADAP was unable to load the

winspool.drv performance library due to
an unknown problem within the library:
0x0

.

This is an issue with the

WDAP Performance library

and is documented on

Microsoft's website.

Connect to the system via Terminal

Services Advanced Client, and then open

a local command prompt. Type the

following syntax: WINMGMT/CLEARADAP.

When the prompt returns, type:

WINMGMT/RESYNCPERF winmgmt service
PID

.

When I select the Check All box, and then

deselect one or more choices on some screens in

the PowerVault NAS Manager, the Check All box

remains selected

The Check All box does

not automatically deselect,

which does not indicate

that all items in the list

are selected.

This behavior does not affect

functionality. The Check All box does

not indicate what has specifically been

selected or deselected.

I have changed the password for the

administrator account; however, several minutes

have passed and I have not been queried for the

new password.

The PowerVault NAS

Manager does not

automatically refresh the

account information for

the administrator while in

the PowerVault NAS

Manager. Instead, it does

the refresh as a timed

function.

The password was successfully changed.

If you want to confirm that the new

password is in affect, close the browser,

and then reconnect. The new password

should work, but the old one should not.

I have just brought up my new NAS appliance on

the network, but I am unable to upload files

using FTP even though I am the administrator.

By default, no user has

write privileges on the

default FTP site.

The FTP permissions must be configured

using the Microsoft Management Console

(MMC). To get to the MMC, click
