PowerFlex Manager Platform (PFMP) crashes after restarting network services using "systemctl restart network."

The ScaleIO Data Server (SDS) panics at startup, producing stack traces and causing a single‑point‑of‑failure state; a Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) rule set is suspected, on version 3.5.1.1.

PowerFlex upgrade from 3.6.0.6 to 4.5.2 fails, logs show “Failed to fork wrapper” and “Get Installed Components command was not successful” on nodes, caused by low memory and vCPU resources for SVMs.

Storage‑Only Resource Group (RG) deployment fails with missing MDM IPs, connection timeouts and ARP errors; the cause is unconfigured port channels required by Partial Network Automation (PNA).

Upgrade is blocked because a decommissioned vCenter remains in a compute‑only resource group on PFxM 3.6, preventing PowerFlex Management Platform from complying with the intelligent catalog.

The Collects Logs feature collects the logs from all the system nodes although only a few were selected.

ESXi SDC crashes with PSOD.

Memory errors and CMCI storm entries in logs cause load, SDS stalls and decoupling; a failing Dual In-line memory module (DIMM) triggers interrupts, EDAC CMCI rate exceeds threshold, causing storm.

This article details the procedure to troubleshoot power supply unit (PSU) issues that may arise on a PowerEdge Server.

PowerFlex Manager generates a 2-year default self-signed SSL certificate when it is deployed. You can replace this default SSL certificate by generating a CSR, having it signed by a trusted certificate authority and uploading the signed certificate to PowerFlex Manager. If you are not using a trusted certificate authority and must renew the default self-signed SSL certificate, then you can use the following instructions.

After ESXi patches, hosts with Mellanox ConnectX‑4 5 NICs may encounter purple screen crashes when the nmlx5_rdma (or nmlx4_rdma) driver loads, because PowerFlex relies solely on the nmlx5_core driver.

Disk devices attached or configured to SVM or SDS nodes are missing Serial Number information and are not listed in the /dev/disk/by-id directory.
