Very interesting to read about the volume/snapshot deletion issue....fortunately that's not one I've run into (although we have quite a few customers using System Manager and really liking it).

I must admit I was hoping that the dedup graph/numbers display issue would be fixed (as I described with screenshots in a post here actually).

Happy to hear folks are liking System Manager.

As noted, this release has just a few bug fixes and relaxes the prior platform restrictions.

Before too long, we should have another point release with a few more features and additional fixes.

Hi Steve

Do you have any idea of a release for 1.0.2 or 1.1? I have V-Series customers that find it quite alarming that they have to edit the xml to allow 'unsupported' systems to sue System Manager. They love the tool, but just get a bit twitchy at the phrase unsupported systems.

Any indication as to release date would be great.

V-series will be supported early 2010.

Andrew,

Dedupe issue is Data ONTAP bug 324868 and not a System manager issue.

I have already responded to your original thread http://communities.netapp.com/message/10592#10592.

Thanks

Any idea when metroclusters will be supported by this tool?

Re: System Manager 1.0.1

Metrocluster is currently not on the roadmap for System Manager 1.x. Please submit a case or bug report.

Regards,

I would look into our Protection Manager product for Metrocluster support.

Ah...thanks for the note/update....missed that post (have been hanging on by my fingertips recently).

I'll admit that I've been very pleasantly surprised by how solid version 1.0 was.....I'm usually not a version .0 kind of person (a lesson I've learned painfully ).

Any word as to the official" way to upgrade System Manager from 1.0 to 1.0.1. Can I simply run the .exe and have my current 1.0 configuration roll forward, or are there any additional steps that must take place?

I could not find anything in particular in either the quick start guide or release notes about upgrading from 1.0.

You can uninstall System Manager 1.0 and then install System Manager

1.0.1

Hi Dan,

I will check with the engineering team about the Official Upgrade procedure and will ask them to publish it ASAP.

Thanks;

Daniel

Hmmm.....I've just installed 1.0.1 over 1.0 without any issues actually....

~~~

Edit: ok...I must be remembering incorrectly -- I just tried this on an existing box and it's requiring me to remove System Manager 1.0. Programs that require this kind of thing are a pet peeve of mine actually....would be great if the installer could either just run over top or offer to uninstall the old version automatically before installing the newer version.

Me too.

If you've got 1.0 installed, you need to un-install it and then install 1.0.1.

Apologies for that - engineering team wasn't able to devote resources to making the upgrade smoother. The upgrade to 1.1 will be easier.

I just tried this option too and even though I un-installed the 1.0 version the storage controllers I was managing with 1.0 were already there when I installed 1.0.1.

Is the persistency of the storage controllers expected?

> Is the persistency of the storage controllers expected?

Yes, at least that part works

In brief, the installer removes/updates files that are part of the installation, but leaves other files intact.

The list of controllers is created independently of the install, so those hang around even after uninstall/install.

So it's a side effect, but in this case it's a helpful one.
