Upgrading from v8.0.3 to v8.1, no new activity is shown in the console. (4236069)

Upgrading from v8.0.3 to v8.1, no new activity is shown in the console.

After upgrading from version 8.0.3 to 8.1. I am on the central repository server and have completed the installation process without any issues or failures. When I start the backup job through the SQL server agent the job continues to run but no new activity is shown in the console. Only a few databases are backed up and not all of the databases on the server. If I stop and then start the agent job I get the same result, only a few databases are backed up. No new activity shows in the console and the agent job continues to run until stopped.

Fast compression backups on a 4k sector drive cannot be verified.

Status:

Waiting to be fixed in a future release of LiteSpeed for SQL Server version.

Workaround:

Add the sector size value to the LiteSpeedSettings.ini file found in

%ProgramData%\Dell\LiteSpeed\SQL Server\LiteSpeedSettings.ini

In the LiteSpeedSettings.ini file you will see a section called [LiteSpeed].  Add the "SectorSizeOverride" parameter like the example below.

[LiteSpeed]

SectorSizeOverride=512

118824

This option will force LiteSpeed core to skip request to storage about sector size.
