Container Storage Modules

After a reboot, Windows non-clustered devices were not coming online when using PowerShell to online the devices. Coincidentally, the AppSync plugin was recently installed.

This article explains the ways to get support for the Container Storage Modules (CSM) and Container Storage Interface (CSI) Drivers.

Replicated Persistent Volumes (PVs) and DellCSIReplicationGroups (RGs) occasionally do not get deleted when issued relevant Kubernetes deletion commands. SyncIQ policies on PowerScale arrays can also improperly persist after their related RG is deleted.

Container Storage Modules Operator: After driver controller down scaling, 'Available' attribute causes incorrect failure status report in deployment.

Dell Container Storage Modules (CSM) Family and Container Storage Interface (CSI) Drivers: Security scanners may show vulnerabilities on different components associated with CSM or CSI drivers. This KB article helps identify the parties responsible for the images.

When two separate networks are configured on PowerStore, one for iSCSI and a second for NVMeTCP, the Container Storage Interface (CSI) Driver 2.9.0 fails to mount volumes using the second network.

When "skipCertificateValidation" is false for Container Storage Modules Authorization in the driver custom resource, the Authorization sidecar proxy (karavi-authorization-proxy container) does not validate the certificate.

The Container Storage Module (CSM) Operator is not calculated status when the Container Storage Module (CSI) driver is installed as a stand-alone.

In Container Storage Modules (CSM) 1.9.1 when Application Mobility is installed as a stand-alone, the CSM status is marked as fail even though it succeeds.

Container Storage Module (CSM) Container Storage Interface (CSI) Driver shows that it cannot match block device with provided Host Channel Target LUN (HCTL). This occurs with PowerStore array over Fiber Channel (FC) on CoreOS hosts in OpenShift. This occurs when the logical unit number (LUN) identification numbers (IDs) are greater than 255 due to a CoreOS limitation.

In Container Storage Module (CSM) Operator v1.4.1, the Authorization proxy CSM object status stays in a failed state even when pods are successful.

In CSM Operator v1.4.1, the CSM object associated with a driver deployment stays in a failed state even when the deployment succeeds.

In Container Storage Modules (CSM) Operator v1.4.1, the CSM object associated with a driver deployment stays in a failed state even when the deployment succeeds. This occurs with PowerScale Observability.

Container Storage Modules (CSM) Operator v1.4.3 automatically deploys Transport Layer Security(TLS) certificates as part of the Observability deployment.

In CSM Operator v1.4.2 and all preceding versions, the Authorization proxy module can only be deployed in the "authorization" namespace.

In Container Storage Modules (CSM) Operator v1.4.1, the Container Storage Module object associated with a driver deployment stays in a succeeded state when the deployment fails.

In CSM Operator v1.4.2, the CSM object associated with an application-mobility deployment occasionally stays in a failed state even when the deployment succeeds.

Container Storage Modules (CSM) Authorization and Container Storage Interface (CSI) Driver show snapshot "map denied."

The Container Storage Interface (CSI) Driver for PowerScale shows that "copy volume failed" when using the volume cloning feature.

Container Storage Modules (CSM) Family: The Container Storage Interface (CSI) Driver for PowerScale shows "certificate signed by unknown authority." This is after setting X_CSI_ISI_SKIP_CERTIFICATE_VALIDATION to false in order for the driver to verify OneFS server's certificates.

Container Storage Modules (CSM): The Container Storage Interface (CSI) Driver for PowerStore only connects to two Target NVMe TCP IPs Instead of 4 Across Dual Virtual Local Area Network (VLANs).

This issue affects Dell Container Storage Modules (CSM) with the Dell Container Storage Interface (CSI) Driver for PowerFlex. The driver fails probes when log in to the PowerFlex Gateway exceeds a hard coded 1 second timeout.

Dell CSM/CSI Drivers uses Kubernetes and Sidecars open-source solutions and are interdependent. Any new sidecar versions released by Kubernetes is not considered supported by engineering unless it is tested/certified by the cert-csi tool https://dell.github.io/csm-docs/docs/csidriver/installation/test/certcsi/ Dell CSM/CSI team. The quarterly releases of CSM/CSI-Drivers always contain the latest revisions of the K8S sidecars available ahead of the code freeze of the CSM/CSI-Drivers prior to the public release. If you want to use the latest sidecars version which are recently released and are not incorporated by the CSM/CSI Drivers yet then they can update the sidecars versions in the following file and build their own local image using following commands:

Starting with Avamar 19.8 we have added a new parameter under mcserver.xml that can be used to modify the SMTP Port for CONNECTEMC EMAIL notifications. However, the SMTP Port used by default is 587.
