Isilon

This article provides information about supported patches and service releases for OneFS and the HealthCheck system.

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.

This article is designed for OneFS 8.2.x, 9.5.x and later to provide customers insights about how licensing works, how to apply licenses, and an FAQ.

To run all the commands from Role-Based Access Control(RBAC) users, you must modify the sudoers file. Administrators may require that AD users be able to administer the cluster, but certain commands are only reserved for a user with 'root' permissions. One of the common needs is for a user to be able to use the 'isi_for_array' prefix.

CloudPools Account Create Failed with cert error.

Datapump/backup operations between an Oracle client and Isilon performed over a WAN may break with error "dNFS asynchronous I/O failure" while using Smartconnect zone name but works using IP.

How to identify which node has the SmartConnect Service IP (SSIP).

If a file or directory name ends with a period (.), Windows clients cannot open, modify, rename, copy, or delete the file.

A high number of vnodes accumulating in memory can result in one or more nodes getting into an Out Of Memory (OOM) condition. Any cluster using Snapshots and SmartPools that is running OneFS 9.11 or later can have this issue.

There is an issue with the policylog file.

All the masking view information is visible in SYMCLI. The customer is unable to see the masking view information for all local arrays. Within Unisphere, none of the array masking view details are visible.

The scope of this KB is to address the NDMP error "DMA socket read error; bytes to read 4000 on socket - Connection reset by peer".

This article describes the best practices and recommendations for client-side settings and mounts options when using the Network File System (NFS) protocol to connect to a PowerScale cluster and applies to all supported versions of OneFS.

This article describes Intermittent disconnection to PowerScale nodes' dynamic IPs during rolling reboot or rolling upgrade. This happens due to invalid (old) Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) entries on the client.

This article describes when Flooding Mode and Gratuitous Address Resolution Protocol (GARP) based detection are not enabled. Plus, data-plane learning is not disabled and GARPs are not propagated properly. The results are client disconnects after a node IP movement. This issue covers Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI).

This article describes changes in Nexus switch default configurations. There are tips on "Nexus Operating System" (NX-OS) switch configurations and Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI).

This article describes how to collect basic switch information using packet capture tools.

Starting from OneFS 9.3.0, OneFS supports Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) Access Control Lists (ACL) to improve compatibility. It is disabled by default. This article describes the steps to enable HDFS ACL.

OneFS: Server-side copy being enabled causes locking and failed copy jobs on OneFS 8.0.0.0-8.0.0.2.

This article provides a basic list of Mellanox Ethernet switches that are not compatible with pelican adapters. Pelican adapters only exist on DE-based Gen 6 nodes (A200, A2000, and H400).

Avamar backup failures can stem from Isilon configuration: snapshot incremental backup not enabled, DMA is not set to generic, or Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) sessions that stop responding.

Any Isilon node that contains internal SSD boot drives (Gen5 hardware and earlier) might unexpectedly boot into single-user mode.

The cluster detected an Isilon Data Integrity (IDI) error and is attempting Dynamic Sector Recovery (DSR) to correct the error.
