Cannot join into the domain by adding a DR Series system to multiple OUs.
In the authenticate command type the format as follows:--ou topLevelOU/middleLevelOU/LowerLevelOU/TargetOU This format for adding OUs is now documented in the latest Dell DR Series System CLI Guide. |
This was addressed and documented in release 3.2.6. |
|
20870 |
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 section, “Managing Replication Operations,” in the latest Dell DR Series System Administrator’s Guide. |
This was addressed and documented in release 3.2.6. |
|

After installing Rapid CIFS Filter Driver, an incorrect driver version is displayed. |
Addressed and documented in release 3.2.6.
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. |
Addressed and documented in release 3.2.6.
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.

|
20424 |
The following message may appear on the console: “vx_nospace...” even if the system still has space. |
Addressed and documented in release 3.2.6.
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. |
Addressed and documented in release 3.2.6. 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. |
Addressed and documented in release 3.2.6. 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.) |
|
19884 |
RDA plugin logging is not generated by default on physical hosts protected by vRanger because the plugin log service delldrlogsvc.exe is not installed by default. |
Addressed and documented in release 3.2.6. To enable RDA plugin logging on physical hosts:
|
|
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. |
Addressed and documented in release 3.2.6. 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. |
Addressed and documented in release 3.2.6. 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. |
Addressed and documented in release 3.2.6. Uninstall and then reinstall the DR Rapid plug-in for this information to be set correctly. |
|
19023 |
Events information is not captured in the GUI when the date and time under System Configuration is changed to a date and time in the past. |
Addressed and documented in release 3.2.6. This type of event information is captured in the CLI, by using the –show –alerts|more command. |
|
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. |
Addressed and documented in release 3.2.6. This issue does not occur with any other supported browser. For browser information, see the Dell DR Series System Interoperability Guide. |
|
18178 |
The AIO-Stress tool fails when using Rapid NFS. |
Addressed and documented in release 3.2.6. Rapid NFS, which uses FUSE, does not support AIO. |
|
18501 |
Rapid NFS performance drops significantly with parallel NFS ingest from same client. |
Addressed and documented in release 3.2.6. 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. |
Addressed and documented in release 3.2.6. 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. |
Addressed and documented in release 3.2.6. Assign ACLs to the built-in Administrator user on the DR Series platform if using Windows 2008 and later. |
|
17661 |
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. |
Addressed and documented in release 3.2.6. Ensure that the interfaces that you want to add or modify are connected when making Advanced Networking changes. To restart the network, type network --restart at the CLI command line. |

DR Rapid critical message Alert RDS Restore failed reported on DR4x00 system. In addition to the error, an event is generated internally in the DR Rapid plug-in when the read operation fails |
Addressed and documented in release 3.2.6. The DR Rapid plug-in generates events for any kind of read failures. |
|

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 |
Addressed and documented in release 3.2.6. 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. |
Addressed and documented in release 3.2.6. See the client log files for the detailed information on the connection failure. |
|
16427 |
When upgrading your system using the iDRAC, if the upgrade package also contains new iDRAC firmware, the upgrade fails to complete. |

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.
