I have just loaded OS 8 + DiskSuite 4.2.1 on a 280R with 2x36 GB internal drives. I am initiating DiskSuite, which only seems to work properly from the commandline; e.g.
1. controllers do not show up in GUI
2. any attempt to use a slice descriptor in the GUI to create database replicas returns "Slice does not exist"
3. replica databases are created at the command line (so the slices DO exist and are not mounted); then controller and disks show up in graphic tool, but state of metadata in GUI remains CRITICAL (metadb at the commandline shows the replicas, but doesn't seem to give any status info).
Has anyone had similar difficulties with the GUI ... ??
Thanks, in advance for advice... NOTE: I am new to DiskSuite, can you tell??
