Limitations in FluidFS Version 6.0

The following limitations exist in FluidFS v6.0.


Area	Description
System Management	When you issue the hardware NAS-appliances status <ApplianceID> CLI command, it can take up to a minute for the information to be displayed. NIC status is not acquired directly from the operating system but from the relevant collector service agent, which has a polling interval of 60 seconds. Therefore, it is normal to have a one-minute delay in the CLI after an actual status change.
System Management	Do not use the following names. These names are reserved for internal FluidFS cluster functions: NAS Volumes (Containers) . .. .snapshots acl_stream cifs (or smb) int_mnt unified Any name starting with locker_ NAS Snapshots rep_* rollback current Attempts to create or modify reserved names will be denied.
Account Management and Authentication	FluidFS shows open files of SMB and NFSv4 protocols only. Open files for NFSv3 are not displayed.
	If you have a cluster joined to Active Directory and NIS domains, the Domain drop-down list displays the UNIX and Windows user names in different windows.
	To use Metadata tiering, you must have an even number of Storage Centers.
NAS Volumes, Shares, and Exports	If you enter a value as a Unicode character string, fewer characters are accepted because Unicode characters take up a variable number of bytes.
Maintenance	Attaching a v5 controller to a v4 cluster is not supported.
Maintenance	If you enter the EULA (end-user license agreement) approver name and approver title as a Unicode character string, note that fewer characters are accepted because Unicode characters take up a variable number of bytes.
