Windows update 24H2 introduces a new feature FileNormalizedNameInformation, which currently is unsupported by OneFS. Additional information levels for FileIdAllExtdBothDirectoryInformation were also added with the update, which is also unsupported. A consequence of this is performance degradation, particularly when working with a large number of smaller files.

LNN Re-Number Fails with error

Due to an internal change in the EN06 and newer, and 0006 and newer firmware for Seagate Megalodon drives, any drives upgraded non-disruptively to this firmware may go into smartfail unnecessarily when a drive is replaced if the node has not yet been rebooted since the upgrade. This issue affects OneFS versions 8.0.0.4 and older, 8.0.1.0 and 8.0.1.1.

Dell PowerScale OneFS remediation is available for multiple security vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malicious users to compromise the affected system.

NetWorker Data Management Protocol (NDMP) backup sessions connect to one PowerScale node instead of distributing load across multiple nodes due to DNS caching and storage node configuration.

Migration is blocked by two errors: one when the source snapshot does not match the latest snapshot, and another when it is older than the latest. Due to mismatches in fan‑out or cascaded setups.

Running isi dm setup-dir may warn if a pre‑9.15 cluster Protected Read‑Write version 1 (PRWv1) is paired with a 9.15 cluster Protected Read‑Write version 2 (PRWv2), causing REPEAT_COPY jobs to fail.

On clusters upgraded to OneFS 9.10.1.8, Network File System (NFS) protocol may become unresponsive on clusters with PowerProtect Data Manager (PPDM) workflow.

Dell PowerScale OneFS remediation is available for multiple security vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malicious users to compromise the affected system.

In OneFS 9.14 and earlier, disabling SSO does not remove the SP signing certificate, causing critical expiration alerts until the certificate is addressed; this is fixed in OneFS 9.15, 9.14.0.1, and 9.13.1.

A OneFS 9.7.1.11 software change unexpectedly removed support for A100, HD400, NL410, S210, and X410 nodes. Those node types to fail to boot with OneFS 9.7.1.11. Additional limitations exist for software compatibility for certain Gen5 platforms in various versions.

Isilon OneFS: Event notification: Node Offline - Event ID: 200010001, 300010003, 399990001, 900160001, 910100006, 400150007

Nodes may encounter out-of-memory, slowdown or kernel panics as lockdata retains several gigabytes of RAM. The cause is NFS per-file instance lockdata failing to release memory on nodes.

PowerScale node panic reboots intermittently with BUF_TIMELOCK or Journal Buffer Transaction Lock (BTL) drain after upgrading to OneFS 9.10.1.7, 9.13.0.1, 9.13.0.2, or 9.13.1.0. Clients may potentially experience latency due to intermittent locking contention with hangdumps.

Doing banner or tool scraping security scans are not always effective and cannot account for backported fixes.

SMB2 clients may experience a 30-second delay on Create responses when the same lease key is opened across multiple SMB2 sessions from the same client. The lease break acknowledgment is mis-routed to the wrong session, causing the pending Create to wait for the oplock timeout.

The /var/crash partition of a node in the cluster has reached 90% capacity alert-Event ID: 100010002

SyncIQ policies fail to start due to a timeout failure, and so the policy fails.

Adding a new Kerberos authentication provider to OneFS will fail with "Cannot find KDC for realm" after upgrades to OneFS 9.15 if no KDC hostname is provided.

By default, Dell PowerScale OneFS clusters track up to 1,024 top workloads per Partitioned Performance (PP) dataset. This article describes how to track 5,000 workloads simultaneously by changing the configurations. This configuration is supported for some hardware configurations starting with OneFS 9.15.
