Is anyone that owns a VRTX having issues with the CMC web interface not updating after changes are applied? My employer bough 14 of these. They all have dual CMCs with the enterprise license.
An example of how the issue manifests is as follows:
- Creating a virtual disk: After the creation job is submitted and it 'completes', the web interface won't show the virtual disk at all, just the initial link to create one. So you think to yourself, 'oh, it must have failed or something' and you click on the link. Except the drives you previously used to create the virtual disk are no longer showing as available. So it used them to create the virtual disk but it won't show you the virtual disk UNTIL you reset/failover the CMC.
- Assigning virtual disk to nodes: You try to assign a virtual disk to the node(s) then click apply. You get confirmation that they are assigned via a popup but once you close it and the assignment screen refreshes, it still shows the nodes as having 'no access'. This virtual disk is indeed assigned since it will show up in my ESXi storage device list, but the CMC doesn't think it is UNTIL you reset/failover the CMC.
- Assign a hotspare: set a disk as a hotspare, apply. You get confirmation that it is done, screen refreshes and disk still shows as 'unassigned' instead of showing as a global hot spare. Guess what you have to do for the web interface to show the correct info? Yep, reset/failover the CMC.
This is making what it should be a simple deployment take 2 to 3 times as long as it should as I'm basically forced to reset/failover the CMC after EVERY CHANGE!!!!
It's happened with VRTX running CMC firmware 1.30, 1.31 and now also with 1.35 plus mainboard firmware 1.36 or 1.41. Doesn't matter which browser I use either (IE, Firefox, Chrome) the behavior is the same.
Is anyone else running into this issue?
