|
If a reprotect operation is performed on block metro or file metro replication sessions after an unplanned failover, some of the replication sessions may become stuck in a System Paused state.
|
For block metro replication sessions, promote the metro resource on the side of the replication session with the latest production data to allow the session to self-heal. For file metro replication sessions, contact your service provider for assistance. |
| PSSLDF-88186 | After performing a non-disruptive upgrade (NDU) to PowerStoreOS 5.0.0.x, the system may generate alerts indicating that each appliance in the cluster is projected to run out of space within one day. | Manually check the capacity utilization of each appliance. If capacity levels are normal and space is not critically low, you can safely ignore these alerts. |
