just heard we are not using the power path capabilities since this is just a BCV host. So looks like an intentional one.. it has been this way for a long time..

Try reinstalling the PP.I advice to use a more up-to-date version like 5.0.1.(You can also install 5.1, if you don't mind the 'cannot eject CDROM bug' :))
