KNOWN ISSUES
General Issues
-Symptom: DroboElite takes a long time to startup when in the process of protecting data (#09-497).
Condition: If the DroboElite has dual disk protection enabled and was in the middle of protecting data, it can take up to five minutes for the DroboElite to completely start up after a power loss. 
Workaround: None. Wait for the DroboElite to finish its startup process.

Windows Vista Specific
-Symptom: The iSCSI connection does not work without SP1 or later installed (#09-056).
Condition: The iSCSI initiator built into Windows Vista does not work with DroboElite until SP1 has been installed.

-Symptom: Full format does not complete with Windows Vista (#09-651).
Condition: DroboElite does not support a full format from Vista for a volume bigger than the space available.

Windows Server 2003 Specific
-Symptom: A volume formatted as FAT32/NTFS is not detected by Windows Server 2003 (#09-496).
Condition: If DroboElite is formatted in FAT32 or NTFS using the Drobo Dashboard or a different OS, such as XP, Windows Server 2003 does not recognize the FAT32 or NTFS volume.
Workaround: Use the Disk Manager OS utility on Windows Server 2003 to manually assign the FAT32 or NTFS volume a drive letter.
