Description/Workaround

26585

When performing a RM reset on the DR4300e, it may fail during reboot after installing the RM image.

Reset the DR Series system from iDRAC console if RM installation appears to hang. The system will boot from the hard disk and continue with the RM installation.

25832

RDNFS binary upgrade fails in RHEL 7 client.

Uninstall any existing RDNFS package and then install the new one.

25820

During a software upgrade in the GUI, an issue occurs on the Software Upgrade page, displaying the Global View link (which is not accessible) and showing the iDRAC address as N/A.

Clicking global view on the menu should not be supported during an upgrade. This can be ignored in the GUI since it cannot be accessed.

24597

CIFS usage graph shows that there are CIFS writes when running iSCSI I/O only.

The statistics reported on the iSCSI graph are accurate. Due to a bug, false statistics are reported on the CIFS graph, which can be ignored. It will be fixed in a future release.

23709

Changing the machine host name does not get updated properly in all components.

This issue does not cause known failures to the normal operation of the DR Series system and can be ignored. It will be fixed in a future release.

20553

Specific umount options do not work for Rapid NFS.

The -l and -f options are not supported in the rdnfs unmount procedure.

20426

Replication traffic that is configured to go through an assigned bond may still run through the default bond (bond0).

If you want to run replication traffic through another bond interface, contact Technical Support to update the route.

18837

Manual modifications made to the Rapid NFS rdnfs.cfg file are not preserved between plug-in updates.

Manually modify the rdnfs.cfg again after upgrading the plug-in.

17294

A NetVault Backup data copy or duplication will stop if the DR Series system goes into maintenance mode as it moves into a read-only condition when this occurs.

Restart the datacopy operation after the DR Series system enters the operational mode.

17206

Advanced networking allows you to change the IP of an interface that is part of a replication link.

Understand your current configuration before adding new advanced networking configuration so that you do not impact the current system configuration.

16280

When you try to get replication statistics, the system displays the Software error: Use of uninitialized value in division (/) at helper.pl line 3548 error.

This is due to the replication target not being in an operational state. Correct the replication target and refresh or use the CLI. The information is available by using the command line. We will correct this error in a future release.
