Known Issues in 5.4.0-SP2

ORION-270710: For some NVIDIA Mellanox NICs, the firmware upgrade process may take much longer than expected. Sometimes, a VMS timeout alert may be raised but the process still completes successfully. If a flint upgrade failure occurs during the process, try power-cycling the node.

ORION-220738: In some cases, VMS does not provide any alerts or other status indication when a drive gets disabled while the newly added DBox is being initialized.

ORION-175762: In some cases, a DBox expansion procedure run on a cluster with similarity-based data reduction enabled can take longer than expected.

ORION-236122: Intense read workloads may impact performance on views controlled with a QoS policy with the prioritization flag set.

ORION-139913: When applying a QoS policy to NFSv3 access, both data and metadata are taken into account in QoS limit calculations, while with NFSv4.1, only data are considered.

ORION-137986: Enabling a QoS policy for a view on which a mixed (read and write) workload runs, can result in decreased performance for the workload.

ORION-238708: In some cases, an NFSv4.1 client attempting to move files to the trash folder may get a Permission denied error due to an issue that may cause the trash folder to use a more restricting policy than expected.

ORION-142968: If a quota is exceeded during the process of coping a file to the VAST cluster, the copying process is stopped with a misleading error message: A device attached to the system is not functioning.

ORION-321170: Using S3 SSE-C when uploading objects using chunked encoding may result in unexpected errors.

ORION-196170: When a parent and child NFSv4.1 view both have same ABAC tags on them, an attempt to mount the child view may result in a Permission denied error. If this occurs, try setting the ABAC tags for the machine account that the client uses to mount the view.

ORION-293900:  When streaming S3 event notifications or VAST DataEngine function-triggering events to a VAST Event Broker view on a cluster with multiple VAST Event Broker views belonging to different tenants, some of the event notifications may encounter a flow that prevents them from being sent to their destination. If this occurs, an Internal Kafka target supported only a single tenant GUID, got 2 alert will be raised. With VAST DataEngine enabled, this issue may result in some functions not being triggered as expected.

ORION-292066: In VAST DataEngine UI, when trying to connect to a Kubernetes cluster from a VAST tenant that has upper-case letters in its name, the request fails with an Invalid value: <...>: a lowercase RFC 1123 subdomain must consist of lower case alphanumeric characters, '-' or '.', and must start and end with an alphanumeric character error.

ORION-288909: When trying to list logs or traces in VAST DataEngine CLI, the --tenant option on the CLI command does not work as expected.

ORION-140894: When attempting to delete a protected path from the destination peer after an ungraceful failover, a Failed to delete following streams or a similar error occurs. The workaround is to manually change the destination peer's role to STANDALONE and retry the deletion.

ORION-145307: Bulk permission updates are not supported for files and directories on satellite clusters.

ORION-25479: Latin characters are not supported with LDAP. If you attempt to pass, for example, a username encoded with a Latin character set, the 'LDAP sanity check res: Invalid credentials' error is returned.

ORION-292325: When creating a customized analytics report for block volumes or hosts, some metrics intended to reflect a maximum latency are set to a fixed value when there are no block volumes on the cluster.

ORION-291686: The read and write latency shown in the Analytics -> Data Flow page of VAST Web UI is calculated without taking into account the amount of I/O on each of the cluster nodes.

ORION-143717: On a cluster with CNode Port Affinity configured, there is no way to expose the VAST DNS IP on a specific port (left or right).

ORION-131386: When there is a parent directory that has a very large number of child directories, a total of children’s capacity values displayed in the Capacity page can exceed the capacity value shown for the parent directory.

ORION-89570: In some cases, capacity analytics for subdirectories cannot be reported due to an internal timeout. This issue occurs when there is an extremely large number of subdirectories to be estimated.

ORION-290976: When creating an Active Directory or LDAP provider configuration on the VAST cluster, the attribute mapping fields are read-only. To edit these fields, save the provider configuration, then open it for editing and update the fields as needed.

ORION-246284: When entering a value in the Capacity field in the Quota Rules tab in quota settings (Element Store -> Quotas -> choose to create or edit a quota), the UI can unexpectedly alter the value when the user is backspacing or trying to add a decimal point.

ORION-260502: The Capacity Estimation page (Analytics -> Capacity), which is designed to display capacity for directories or, in case of a VAST Database, for its schema, sometimes also includes VAST Database tables in capacity estimations.

ORION-234835: Some VAST Web UI pages might not allow for proper filtering or sorting by column where value presentation differs from that in the VAST internal database.

ORION-203189: The External Netmask field in cluster networking settings (Settings -> Configure Network) does not accept alphabetic characters.

ORION-175189: When querying a local user using the Aggregated context, the Leading GID and Primary group SID fields in the User Details dialog have a value of -1 instead of an empty string.

ORION-322120: When displaying path names in VAST CLI, the names written in right-to-left languages may appear spelled from left to right.

ORION-282853: In some cases, changing the view path by using the view modify --path <new path> command does not work as expected. The command may seem to succeed initially but automatically revert back to the original path within minutes.

ORION-269350: An illegal argument error occurs when trying to run the protectedpath list command with the --protection-policy-name option specified.

ORION-265720: VAST CLI auto-completion does not include the  --detach-krb-provider option on the tenant modify command.

ORION-156628: An attempt to run the viewpolicy show --audit command results in a 'ViewPolicyProtocolsAudit' object has no attribute 'get' error.

ORION-178569: The /users/names endpoint always returns only the first 50 entries, regardless of the page size parameter or the total amount of entries to be returned.

ORION-255054: Once a DNode replacement operation is complete, the old node may still be listed in the Infrastructure -> DNodes page of VAST Web UI for some minutes.

ORION-275610: The Drive Compatibility page in VAST Web UI (Support -> Drive Compatibility) does not display all of the details that are available when running a supporteddrives list or supporteddrives get command of VAST CLI.

ORION-269349: When obfuscating a support bundle, the obfuscation is not applied to files that have already been zipped.

ORION-239170: When obfuscating a support bundle, the CNode hostname may not get obfuscated in some of the logs included in the bundle.
