RPC replication errors may be seen during replication from source DR Series system to target DR Series system. |
|
The primary and secondary replication target should have the same MTU setting. Replication proceeds once the MTU is set to the same as the replica target. This recommendation has been added to the Dell DR Series System Administrator’s Guide in release 3.2.0.1. |

Certain hypervisor host NICs will perform poorly and may require a driver update to fully support VMQ feature. |
|
Note that this works as designed. To resolve this issue you should check on your Hypervisor host NIC feature list and update the driver to the latest version.
For example, Broadcom NetXtreme I and NetXtreme II Ethernet adapter needs to get driver update to 17.6.0 or above to add VMQ support, otherwise you may experience performance degradation during normal operations.
Driver for NetXtreme I and NetXtreme II Ethernet adapter: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=CYKKJ&osCode=MWS80&fileId=3197327398&languageCode=EN&categoryId=NI
Firmware for NetXtreme I and NetXtreme II Ethernet adapter: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=P32M4&osCode=MWS80&fileId=3197328666&languageCode=EN&categoryId=NI |
|
20539 |
After installing Rapid CIFS Filter Driver, an incorrect driver version is displayed. |
|
If at the end of successful installation, the version of the driver loaded (which can be checked using rdcifsctl.exe driver -q) is lower than the version of the installed package (listed under Control Panel > Installed products), then you should restart the machine. This issue can occur if the system fails to rename/delete driver files under the system folder. |
|
20456 |
Installation of SSL Certificate file in the GUI failed on Internet Explorer (IE) when using Remote Desktop. |
|
When uploading the certificate file, the GUI uses the file name with the whole path, which works when uploading on a local system. When using RDP, in the IE browser settings, you need to disable the "Include local directory path .." setting, as follows.
|
3. |
Click OK and the refresh the browser. | |
|
20424 |
The following message may appear on the console: “vx_nospace...” even if the system still has space. |
|
This message is a result of trying to allocate a large contiguous block. The allocation of the contiguous block might fail, in which case, allocation continues without trying to keep the file contiguous. The vx_nospace error may appear, and this message can be safely ignored. |
|
20188 |
When using cascaded replication for a large number of files (1M+), it may appear to take some time to see the actual files on the secondary target. |
|
Namespace resync has to complete on the source and primary target and then data transfer has to start on both before transferring to the secondary target. Once the namespace resync completes on the first replication pair, resync then starts on the second replication pair. Until the namespace resync completes on the second pair, no data is transferred. This ensures the namespace resync completes faster and the snapshot can be deleted faster. |
|
20009 |
User is able to create/write a file/directory in the share/container even though the user has only read permissions (file-level/security-level) on the share. |
|
You can block write/create operations for a particular domain user by adding an extra ‘Deny’ ‘write’ acl for that user. (This issue occurs on the Windows 2008 client.) |
|
19552 |
When there is no data to replicate (for example, replication state is INSYNC), replication statistics might indicate a target is running out of disk space even though the target has enough space. |
|
This occurs because the replication process detected target space full condition when there is pending data to be replicated, but, at a later time, that pending data was removed and replication was insync. We do not query target disk state when replication is idle. On a similar note, we might not indicate target space full condition when there is no data to replicate as well. An error state in the replication statistics makes sense only when replication is not in sync. |
|
19485 |
Adding a host name does not work if you use a FQDN and the host name has letters in it. |
|
You can add names as long as the name is made only of numbers and it is not a FQDN where a period is used in the name string. |
|
19186 |
If you change the hostname or the domain name after setting up the DR Rapid plug-in, then you may get the wrong backup mode pass-through or de-dupe. |
|
Uninstall and then reinstall the DR Rapid plug-in for this information to be set correctly. |
|
18848 |
In the Internet Explorer 9 and 10 browsers, when you navigate to a DR Series system from within Global View, and then log out of that system and return to Global View, you are logged out of the machine running the Global View. |
|
This issue does not occur with any other supported browser. For browser information, see the Dell DR Series System Interoperability Guide. |

The AIO-Stress tool fails when using Rapid NFS. |
|
Rapid NFS, which uses FUSE, does not support AIO. |
|
18501 |
Rapid NFS performance drops significantly with parallel NFS ingest from same client. |
|
When using Rapid NFS on your client, it is suggested that you do not run NFS from the same client to the DR Series system in parallel as this will affect your overall performance. |
|
18144 |
A File name too long error is displayed after trying to create a directory structure that exceeded 522 directories. |
|
The limit on a path within a mount point is 4096 bytes. |
|
18022 |
Windows 2008 and newer servers cannot assign local users (other than administrator) to Access Control Lists (ACLs). Windows 2008 and later does not query the local users on the DR Series platform. |
|
Assign ACLs to the built-in Administrator user on the DR Series platform if using Windows 2008 and later. |
|

If the cable is removed from a network interface and the network is restarted, the interface does not get an IP. If you then reinsert the cable, you must restart the network to get an IP. |
|

If you have the same client for OST and RDS operations and you manually update the client connections, unexpected messages are displayed as: [root@swsys-49 ~]# stats -- clients --type RDA RDA Client(s) Type plug-in OS Backup Software Last Access Connection(s) Mode r310-sys-39 RDS -- -- -- -- 0 Default
[root@swsys-49 ~]# ost -- update_client --name r310- sys-39 --mode auto Client is connected with default values. Please update to non-default values.
In Linux systems, the RDS plug-in installation fails if the OST plug-in is already installed in the system |
|
To work around the issue, use a different client for OST and RDS rather than sharing the same machine for both protocols. |
|
16660 |
When BE has an issue connecting to the server, it may not return detailed errors to the OST plug-in. |
|
See the client log files for the detailed information on the connection failure. |

When upgrading your system using the iDRAC, if the upgrade package also contains new iDRAC firmware, the upgrade fails to complete. |

Cannot create a container starting with a number. |
|
Container names must start with a letter. Container names starting with a number are not supported. |
|
19250 |
When using the CLI to create a container, this container is created with a marker setting of none. |
|
If you are using a backup application that requires a marker, set the appropriate marker using the CLI command. If this is not done, then the savings level will not be optimal. You can set the marker in the GUI at the same time you are creating the container. |
|
19087 |
In daily statistics, we report that the compression savings is 0 percent. This is simply a reporting issue. |
|
This is correct behavior, as option has been removed from daily report. Use the following workaround to get the deduplication and compression percentage: Use stats --system or use Global View Savings (mouse over the Savings column). |
|
18857 |
When replicating between a large number of containers using a many to one relationship, some replication machines are displayed as Disconnected in the Peer Status screen. |
|
This is simply a display issue and the replications eventually go into an Online or Replicating status. |

The OST plug-in was not seen in the Windows Media server Add-Remove Programs. |
|
When you had multiple users for a Backup Exec server, they were able to run jobs while logged in as a different user. However, the only person that could see if the OST plug- ins were installed and what version was running, or were able to uninstall the plug-in, was the original user who was logged on when the plug-in was installed.
Corrected in the 3.0.0.1 release |

A wrong message displayed when you entered the wrong container name in the connection -- disable command. When you issued a connection -- disable --name [name of container that does not exist on the DR] --type OST the following message appeared: Failed to update connection entry - Container "use a container name that is not a container on the DR" is not configured with OST connection type. |
|
Corrected in the 3.0.0.1 release. The message more accurately describes the error condition. |
|

When the machine was down or rebooted, the usage graph information was not collected and you saw a blank in the usage graphs upon reboot. |
|
Corrected in the 3.0.0.1 release. |
|
18375 |
When you widen the scope to over ten hours or more, the maximum CIFS connections reduced, and the usage graph statistical output was not accurate. |
|
Corrected in the 3.0.0.1 release. The graph now uses MAX aggregate instead of AVERAGE to calculate max values. This change was implemented for all graphs (not only for CIFS connections). |
|
18338 |
After naming a DR and successfully joining the domain, a Windows server within the domain using domain credentials could not access DR containers. DR containers are configured to allow access to that client; however, you could only access the container by using DR local administrator credentials. This was caused by you renaming the DR during configuration or changing the name in the GUI or CLI by issuing the #system --setname --name <with a name exceeding 15 characters>. |
|
When changing the DR host name, the GUI will display a message that no more than 15 characters are allowed as a host name. |
|
18325 |
When using Advanced Networking and configuring 2 bonds it showed the same host name for both IP addresses. |
|
Corrected in the 3.0.0.1 release. |

Dell DR4100 system enclosure hot add fails in Release 2.0. |
Attempting to perform a "hot add" of an external expansion shelf enclosure in a DR4000 or DR4100 system fails because this is not a supported method of operation in the 2.0 product release. To prevent this error/failure condition from occurring, observe the following best practice:
Ensure that before an external expansion shelf enclosure is cabled to and powered on to a Release 2.0 DR4000 or DR4100 system only after the DR Series system has been powered down. |
The workaround is to observe the following best practice for connecting an external expansion shelf enclosure to a Release 2.0 DR4000 or DR4100 system:
|
|
13580 |
User intervention is required when booting up a system that was rebooted due to a shelf going offline. |
This condition can occur when an external expansion shelf enclosure goes offline, which requires that the DR Series system be rebooted. During the DR Series system boot up, it halts in the PowerEdge RAID Controller (PERC) H800 configuration process, and prompts you to press <F> to import the Foreign Disks. |
To resolve this issue, press <F> to import the Foreign Disks, and allow the boot up process for the DR Series system to complete and boot normally. Once the process completes normally, the DR Series system will come up, and enter its Operational mode. |
|
13790 |
DR Series system performance drops when background initialization runs on an external expansion shelf. |
Whenever an external expansion shelf enclosure is added to the DR Series system, this causes a one-time only impact to the DR Series system performance.
The impact is a result of the background initialization (BGI) process running for an external expansion shelf (the system RAID disks require such initialization).
BGI can take approximately 2 hours for a 3 Terabyte (TB) external expansion shelf enclosure to complete. |
There is no workaround for BGI. This is a one-time only process that occurs when an external expansion shelf enclosure is added.
During BGI that is associated with the addition of an external expansion shelf enclosure, you should expect that performance for the DR Series system will be slower than usual. |
|
14126 |
Do not connect an external expansion shelf enclosure to a DR Series system prior to upgrading to the 2.0 release. |
System issues occur if any DR4000 systems running the pre-2.0 release system software connect and power on any external expansion shelf enclosure, and then upgrade to the DR Series system 2.0 release software. To prevent this condition, observe the following best practice:
|
To resolve this issue, observe the following best practice for upgrading earlier DR4000 systems to the 2.0 release software (this must be done prior to connecting and powering on an external expansion shelf enclosure):
|
|
14427 |
The Google Chrome browser reports that the upgrade page is unresponsive during a file upload. |
The Google Chrome browser displays a Page(s) Unresponsive dialog, which indicates it is in a "waiting" mode when uploading the DR4000 system software payload needed for the upgrade. The Page(s) Unresponsive dialog allows only two options:
|
There is no workaround at this time. Dell recommends that you click Wait and allow sufficient time for the uploading of the DR4000 system software upgrade to complete. |
|
14895 |
Restore Manager needs to add a message to remove the USB key after the operating system installation completes. |
The USB key used during the Dell DR Restore Manager operating system installation process can be overwritten if it is not removed after successfully installing the operating system. |
To prevent the overwriting of the USB key, when the operating system installation is successful, it is recommended that you observe the following best practices:
|
|
14920 |
