Limitations and Precautions

Basic Points

• Backup image files created with vmGuardian 3.0.20150422 or earlier can be used as a replication source but are not supported.
• The following versions of ActiveImage Protector do not support consolidated image files.
  
  • Windows Edition：3.5.8 (SP6) or earlier
  • Linux Edition：4.5.1 or earlier
• Creating a replication task when selecting a backup image file located in a target destination will not execute under the following conditions.
  
  • If an existing backup schedule (created with AIP v3.5 SP6) is configured with Replication and the option [Allow consolidation at this target] is enabled.
  • If upgrading to AIP v3.5 SP7 and the same schedules are retained from the previous version.
  Edit the AIP schedules and disable the Replication and Consolidation options then save the changes.
• The following are the recommended option settings if combined with the AIP Linux Replication option:
  
  • Allow Consolidation of image files at this replication target: OFF
  • Policy　-　Replicate newly created files: ON
• If changing the login credential using the [Changed Credential] menu, restart your system to apply the change.
• To complete the updating or upgrading of this product on Windows 10 or later, a restart of the system is required upon completion of the upgrade installation process.

Dashboard

• A consolidated image set may not be selected if a consolidated image set and the image files are located in the same folder. If this scenario is encountered, please move the consolidated image files to a different folder.
• An error is displayed If double-clicking the [Run Now] button to start a scheduled Replication or Consolidation task.
• Reducing the size of the console window may cause misalignment of the displayed items.
• If an image file does not include the information of the OS, the Linux icon is displayed in the OS column.
• When clicking on the [x] icon located on the right of the [History] column in the image file selection window, the history may not display as deleted. It may be necessary to close then re-open the image selection window.
• The information in the image file selection window may not refresh correctly.

Create / Edit Task

• When closing the dialog that displayed an error in creating a schedule, the [Cancel] and [Back] buttons become disabled.
  If this occurs, click the [x] button located in the upper right corner of the window to close the wizard.
• When editing replication target settings, a new Amazon S3-compatible storage provider cannot be added.
• (6994) In [Edit Option] dialog, the performance level may not be displayed correctly.

Replication

• If the [One Image per VM] option is enabled to create a backup image file by vmGuardian, the entire VM's profile is automatically selected for the Replication source files.
• If selecting WebDAV and Amazon S3 for a Replication target option, [Process Time] and the progress bar are the only real time progress information displayed for the Replication task execution.
  Also, the percentage of the completed process remains unchanged from the start. If multiple files are selected as the Replication source, then the progress bar makes gains for the percentage of total file size only when the Replication task completes.
• If cancelling a Replication task, the task is cancelled only when the running file replication completes.
• If a Replication task already exists when right-clicking on an image in the list, The [Create Replication Task] in the context menu may not be grayed out.
• When the [Keep target item same with source] option is enabled, the replication target is synchronized with the replication source at the same time as the schedule specifies for the replication task.
• "After each incremental file(s)" schedule option will not function for replicating vmGuardian created image files.

Consolidation

• If cancelling a running consolidation task, the cancellation result of the task is not indicated on console.

Remote Connection

• If the credentials are changed for a remote host after establishing a connection to a remote computer, re-establish the connection to the remote computer from the [Add New Agent] icon in the Agent List Pane.
  
• If the connection to a remote agent is disconnected due to a restart of remote host, the displayed status on the console is not automatically refreshed. Clicking on the disconnected agent returns a "-571 error".

Agent Setting

• When the console is restarted, the [Password] for the E-Mail setting is blank. Even if the [Password] is blank, the previously entered password is saved for the credentials.

Others

• Displayed information may not be refreshed. If this occurs, restart the console.
• If the ImageCenter console is started in low resolution, the console size may not display properly.
• When ImageCenter is started, IME may be disabled. There may be instances that this problem is resolved by displaying the language bar.

• Installing only the console and then restarting the console after a connection with a remote computer is established may result in a connection to an agent listed atop of the agent list. If that agent is not up and running, an "Agent connection error (-571)" is returned.
