Delete unused or unnecessary NAS server network interfaces to reduce the count below the threshold and prevent creation restrictions.

PowerStore generates critical or major alerts when the number of file systems per NAS server exceeds the configured threshold limits (90% or 99%), preventing the creation of additional file systems.

Metro Volumes may remain offline after a power outage or appliance reboot compared to normal volumes without Metro.

Below PowerStore code version 4.4, if an asynchronous replication is in a syncing status when a Non-Disruptive Upgrade (NDU) occurs, it may re-transfer the delta data after the session is resumed.

The checklist provides NDMP client configuration information for mitigating issue such as unresolved hostnames, unsupported directives, tape device settings, and missing environment variables that prevent successful NetWorker backups.

The Pre upgrade health check (PUHC) off_release_incomplete_commands_check detects incomplete Control Path (CP) commands that are not in the approved list of commands allowed during NDU.

PowerStore generates critical or major alerts when the number of tree quotas per file system exceeds the configured threshold limits (90% or 99%), preventing the creation of additional tree quotas.

PowerStore generates critical or major alerts when the number of snapshots per appliance exceeds the configured threshold limits (90% or 99%), preventing the creation of additional snapshots.

When upgrading a PowerStore system from version 3.x to 4.3.x, the Pre-Upgrade Health Check (PUHC) may silently skip critical off-release checks without reporting them as errors. This allows the non-disruptive upgrade (NDU) to proceed without proper validation, which may lead to failures later in the upgrade process.
