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.

Dell has a Customer Replaceable Unit (CRU) program for many of our hardware systems. The CRU program allows customers to replace designated hardware components. For a list of the hardware components that are designated as CRU for a specific hardware system, go to the Dell Warranty and Maintenance Page.

When 'isi upgrade cluster firmware devices' shows <Unknown> <Unknown> for all columns instead of the installed firmware versions.

How to convert disks capacity to human readable format in Isilon and PowerScale systems.

This article describes how to find the serial number, product ID, or Product Serial Number Tag (PSNT) that is required to open a service request or support case for Dell Storage and Data Protection hardware products.

PowerScale Info Hub for OneFS 9.14.0.0 documentation

Gen6 node fails to boot during the PSI configuration phase.

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)'

PowerScale Isilon OneFS Event notification: Cluster-1: The cluster is running low on free space: free space (1.99xxx%) < job-configuration core.free_blocks_pct_threshold_lo (2%). - Event ID: 400100007

This article describes issues when Dell Networking switches (S4112F-ON, S4148F-ON, Z9100-ON, and Z9264-ON) used with Isilon Clusters for backend traffic may contain an expired x509 certificate.

This article describes a condition where a node running Ethernet Backend can split when both backend interfaces are brought down within five minutes due to Prep timer status.

This article explains how Users and Technical Support should manage "Node has Recovered from a panic" event or messages. Review all portions of the article before acting.

IsiFw_Package will not complete install or uninstall and appears to stop responding due to /var space.

SyncIQ policies fail with error No node on source cluster was able to connect to target cluster on OneFS 9.1 and later versions. This is due to the encryption required flag being automatically set to yes.

Using the Contain mode in Filepool Policies (FPP) to target subdirectories under /ifs is highly likely to produce broader matching results than intended. This may cause the SmartPools job to unintentionally move large amounts of unrelated data.

How to address Battery Backup Unit (BBU) alerts on Generation 6 hardware. Event ID: 900160008

Some special characters do not work with ipmi control and PowerScale.

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.

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

The Management interfaces would not be reachable after the Onefs/Node Firmware upgrade. This article would help in fixing this issue.

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.

Missing Node Firmware component for the Battery Backup Unit (BBU) (DEbcc_inifinity), (EPbcc_infinity), which prevents the battery test from succeeding, rendering the node as Read-Only.

OneFS does not automatically select LIN-based jobs in situations where it would be more efficient to run them. This Knowledge Base explains when LIN-based jobs are more effective.

The Dell PowerScale OneFS Info Hubs provide links to OneFS documentation.

This article explains how to use the Isilon OneFS isi_auth_expert command to manage authentication.

The ChangelistCreate job fails if the configured MetadataIQ path has an ADS flag.

This article explains how to generate an activation XML file from a PowerScale cluster, upload it though My Account, and complete license activation or regeneration process.

Some PowerScale hardware procedures (such as power cycling or power draining a node) vary depending on the hardware generation. The node model name does not clearly indicate the hardware generation. Use the table below to identify your node’s hardware generation and follow the appropriate instructions in related knowledge base articles.
