This document highlights minimum, recommended, and latest code versions for Dell Technologies Enterprise and Datacenter Infrastructure products. We carefully evaluate and monitor code deployment data to ensure that product releases meet our stringent expectations to provide our customers with reliable products and solutions.

This article contains information about customer replaceable unit (CRU) videos for Dell Technologies VNX and VNXe products.

The PowerScale Scale-out NAS uses Dell Networking Ethernet switches to provide the network. Dell Networking OS9 and the new OS10 Enterprise Edition (OS10EE) are used in the examples in this document. PowerScale, NAS, Network, Networking, OS9, OS10, OS10EE, switch.

When 'isi upgrade cluster firmware devices' is run, the firmware version columns for all components in the cluster show instead of the installed and desired firmware versions.

A Gen6 half-chassis (only two nodes populated) will be shipped by default with the nodes in bays 1 and 2 on the left hand side of the chassis, and the empty right hand side bays (3 and 4) are populated with filler panels. If the nodes are moved to the right hand bays, the filler panels cannot be moved to the left hand bays because they will not fit.

In the extended power-on self test (ePOST) phase of booting, Gen6 nodes sometimes show the message 'WARNING:M.2 SATA 0 FW FileSystem Inaccessible (0x00FF)'

Gen6 node fails to boot during the PSI configuration phase, showing the 'isi_upgrade_hardware' script running followed by an error message stating 'Unable to perform receipt update for Hardware Upgrade'.

While trying to configure IPMI on a cluster containing Gen6 nodes, 'isi ipmi features list' returns an empty feature list and no IPMI features can be enabled.

HD400 or Gen6 clusters containing drive model HUS726T4TALN6L0 may see frequent smartfails on these drives, with the SCSI error 'ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:21,0 (Logical block address out of range)' logged at the time of smartfail.

When SED nodes are upgraded directly to OneFS 9.5 from a OneFS version older than 9.2, the nodes fail to boot completely, and the drives show in a SED_ERROR state.

PowerScale Info Hub for OneFS 9.13.0.0 documentation

NetWorker Snapshot Management (NSM) backups may fail with Error relinking snapvx snapshot to target: Unable to perform action Link on SnapVX snapshot, error SYMAPI_C_ACCESS_DENIED.

Clusters on OneFS 9.13.0.1 may experience Data Unavailability. This issue affects clusters containing F710 or F910 node hardware.

NFS netgroup clients can still connect to PowerScale NFS exports even after LDAP provider is disabled. This configuration continues to work until the nodes of the cluster are rebooted for maintenance or unexpected reasons, causing potential Data Unavailability (DU).

On Isilon OneFS and PowerScale, Swift authentication with NTLMv2 does not work. It does work with NTLMv1. For use of TLS/SSL with NTLM authentication, any system must use NTLMv2. NTLMv1 is older and plain text only. The Swift implementation does not support NTLMv2 presently, and would require substantial rearchitecture to implement. As the third-party Swift utility as an Isilon component is set for end of life and will be removed in a future release, there are no present plans to redesign our platform and modify third-party OpenStack Swift code to support NTLMv2. This article applies to all versions of Isilon OneFS and PowerScale as of and through 9.x and going forward.

Trash directory HealthCheck failure during daily HealthCheck run.

In the case of aggressive or extensive deletes of files on OneFS, it is possible for certain tracking databases to be overwhelmed. However, this should be easy to fix.

You can use the 'dd' command on a PowerScale node CLI to help determine the source of the bottleneck for a particular performance issue. For example, if you can replicate the latency directly on a node command line using 'dd' then this indicates an issue at the file system layer vs. the protocol (NFS or SMB) or networking layer.

Gen 6 nodes see a bge0 watchdog timeout because the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) segmentation offload identifier is set in the packet buffer. It then reaches a 1 Gbps interface that cannot handle TCP segmentation offload (TSO).
