Description
MDT-148696
Connectivity - Hosts
When there is an active I/O operation occurring between a host and 4-port 32Gb
Fibre Channel I/O module on the appliance, and there is a considerable amount of
logout and login activity initiated by the hosts, the port may report a BUSY status
back to the host even when the port is not oversubscribed from a limits
standpoint.
MDT-153885
Internal Migration
If you expand a volume while one of the nodes is booting up, the size of that
volume might not change on the node that is booting up. As a result, I/O
operations to the newly expanded region of the volume fail if they are sent to that
node.
MDT-153333
Data Collection
As the number of targets scale, node CPU stats may include underlying target stats
multiple times inflating the value and causing a discrepancy between appliance
CPU stats and its underlying node CPU stats.
