Dell guidance to mitigate risk and resolution for the side-channel analysis vulnerabilities (also known as L1 Terminal Fault or L1TF) for servers, storage, and networking products. For specific information about affected platforms and next steps to apply the updates, see this guide.

In Unity 5.5, File System (FS) access can be provided using a Network File System (NFS) mount using NFSv3 or NFSv4 file sharing protocols. This is typically done for Logical Unity Numbers (LUN) and NFS datastores with specific mounting parameters and then scripted for various groups of hosts. A directory is created for the mount point when mounting file shares using NFSv4.2. If the directory security label (sec_label) parameter has no data assigned to it, the Unity Service Processors (SP) can panic and reboot unexpectedly.
