Area Description
Attempts to create or modify reserved names will be denied.
Account Management and
Authentication
FluidFS shows open files of SMB and NFSv4 protocols only. Open files for NFSv3 are
not displayed.
If you have a cluster joined to Active Directory and NIS domains, the Domain drop-down
list displays the UNIX and Windows user names in different windows.
To use Metadata tiering, you must have an even number of Storage Centers.
NAS Volumes, Shares, and Exports If you enter a value as a Unicode character string, fewer characters are accepted
because Unicode characters take up a variable number of bytes.
Maintenance Attaching a v5 controller to a v4 cluster is not supported.
If you enter the EULA (end-user license agreement) approver name and approver
title as a Unicode character string, note that fewer characters are accepted because
Unicode characters take up a variable number of bytes.
Known Issues in FluidFS Version 6.0
The following known issues exist in FluidFS v6.0.
Area Description
System Functionality The current vSphere Web Client plugin, Compellent Integration Tools for VMware (CITV
3.1), does not support FluidFS v6 systems. A plugin that supports FluidFS v6 is planned
for an upcoming release.
The Dell Storage Manager client might lose connection to the Data Collector if it has
been up and running for a period of time. If a connection loss occurs, the following error
is generated:
Unable to obtain Jdbc connection from DataSource.
Workaround: Apply the Microsoft fix, which can be downloaded from https://
support.microsoft.com/kb/2577795
Certain Internet Explorer versions (for example, IE 11.0.9600 running on Windows 2008
R2) cannot retrieve MIB files from the management FTP.
If the firmware update stalls at 0% and other management operations are not available,
contact Dell Technical Support and reference KB SLN302683.
During a controller reboot, errors similar to Internal hard error occurred
might display on the Dell Storage Manager client. These errors can be ignored and
should not display again after all the controllers are available.
System Management Clusterization cannot be performed if IPv6 multicast packets are not passed through
the switch on the interconnect network.
The Directory Quota Edit Rule online help page is missing. If you click Help on
that page, an error similar to Help Not Found is generated. See the Dell Storage
Manager Administrator’s Guide, which contains the same help information.
Troubleshooting General diagnostics summary files larger than 200 MB might not transfer using
SupportAssist and might need to be downloaded from the FluidFS cluster.
