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.
