Description
MDT-388534
Storage - Block
LUN IDs 254 and 255 are reserved from use by VMware ESXi. If performing volume
creations in quantiles greater than one and are utilizing automatic LUN ID assignment,
these LUN IDs could be utilized resulting in the volume creation failing for those specific
volumes.
MDT-384468

Rolling DP panics caused by a race condition while writing 1MB UNMAP record to the log.
The race condition occurs between the page lookup in the TxCache and adding its
LoggingOffset to the dirty/free list.
MDT-383323
Storage - Block
Internal appliance communication may result in excessive communication sessions. This
can cause memory strain to services and impact web UI function, Data Collection creation,
excessive local boot drive capacity usage, etc.
