Resolución

Fix:
  • This issue is fixed in Unity OS: 5.3.1.0.5.008
  • Hotfixes are also available for Unity OE version 5.2. Contact Dell Technical Support or your Authorized Service Provider and quote this Dell Knowledge Base article ID to obtain those fixes.

Workaround:
  • If an IOModule is installed, use CNA ports 4 & 5 and IOModule ports 0 & 1.
  • Use PowerPath instead of Windows native MPIO. 
  • If there is no IOModule installed, CNA ports 4 and 5 do not work for Windows hosts using native MPIO.
