Release Notes

Area Description
Some applications, such as Novell Storage Manager, requesting to enumerate open files in a given
folder or directory (basepath) received faulty results.
Changing ownership (chown) of a file using NFS4 did not reflect in space usage (quota).
When applications requested to lock a byte-range and to ignore the lock sequence, file locks were not
honored when using SMB3.
Data Protection Under rare conditions, NDMP backup failed.
NAS Volumes,
Shares, and Exports
Automatic failback sometimes hung for SMB clients. This release introduces a 5-minute delay in
automatic failback to ensure the process completes.
NFS users could not delete .AppleDouble directories because permissions were too strict. This
release implements the following Support Shell commands: set-appledouble-access - set
default permissions for new .AppleDouble directories and fix-appledouble-
access - modify existing directory permissions to current default.
When a client belonged to multiple netgroups, NFS export access was evaluated alphabetically, by
netgroup name, and led to unexpected behavior. NFS export access is now evaluated in the order the
netgroups are listed.
Failover times for NFS sessions were sometimes longer than expected.

5.0.300109.
SACL events were not displayed in Dell Storage Manager, but could be seen when using
the CLI.
In rare cases, replication from FluidFS v5 to FluidFS v6 failed.
Creating duplicate share names was not always rejected.
Copying or cloning files using VAAI might not have worked on non-default tenants.
Quota directory did not apply size change following a NFSv4 move operation.
When a hard quota was exceeded, writes to existing file was truncated but did not
generate an error.
User started Dell Storage Manager in English and switched to another language.
After resizing a NAS volume, displaying NAS volumes generated a non-English popup
message.
User could not edit folder security permissions using Dell Storage Manager 2016 R3.
Sometimes, snapshots could not be deleted using the GUI or the CLI.
System Management The standby controller did not reattach to the cluster after replacement.
The cluster status wrongly showed critical when the Admin subnet state was
enabled or restricted, but was configured to use the client network.
