Drobo Dashboard Release Notes

• Symptom: Using Drobo Dashboard 2.x on Macs running on PowerPC or Mac OS X 10.4 will fail.

Condition: Drobo Dashboard 2.x does not support Macs running on PowerPC or Mac OS X 10.4 (or earlier). Drobo Dashboard 2.x returns the error “You can’t open the application Drobo Dashboard because it is not supported on this architecture”.

Workaround: None available. Mac OS X 10.4 (or earlier) is not supported by Drobo Dashboard 2.x.

• Symptom: Non-destructive repartitioning is not supported.

Condition: In Mac OS X 10.5 and later, Disk Utility allows you to repartition a volume without losing the data on it. Drobo volumes do not support this functionality and should not be repartitioned once data has been placed on them.

Workaround: Copy your data onto another drive and use Drobo Dashboard to reformat your Drobo device’s volume to a smaller size.

• Symptom: Attempting to format a new volume on a B800i/B1200i which already has 40 volumes, will fail.

Condition: When connected to a B800i/B1200i from Mac host, formatting the 41 st

volume will fail.

Drobo Dashboard will display the “in progress” sign.

Workaround: From Activity Monitor quit the “java” process and from Drobo Dashboard delete the volume.
