With the introduction of the new DigiCert root CA provider, there is a requirement to install PSP-4737 prior to using any files which are signed using the new cert. This article provides handling instructions where to upgrade to versions which include the new CA cert (such as 9.10.1.8), but where your current OneFS version does not support the new cert patch (PSP-4737).

Older Gen5 nodes are either: blocked from upgrading to newer OneFS versions; or fail to upgrade reboot.

This article provides instructions on how to create an operating environment (OE) upgrade service request using Dell online support website.

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

NetWorker Data Management Protocol (NDMP) backup sessions connect to one PowerScale node instead of distributing load across multiple nodes due to DNS caching and storage node configuration.

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

In OneFS 9.14 and earlier, disabling SSO does not remove the SP signing certificate, causing critical expiration alerts until the certificate is addressed; this is fixed in OneFS 9.15, 9.14.0.1, and 9.13.1.

Nodes may encounter out-of-memory, slowdown or kernel panics as lockdata retains several gigabytes of RAM. The cause is NFS per-file instance lockdata failing to release memory on nodes.

Doing banner or tool scraping security scans are not always effective and cannot account for backported fixes.
