Under extremely rare circumstances, a PS6510 array lacked passive control module redundancy, but firmware allowed user to failover.
Firmware now warns instead with a message similar to
Restart aborted by firmware: cannot proceed due to
detected redundancy loss issue on the passive controller
.
Install/Updates
•
[CRITICAL]
A change of behavior was introduced with version 9.1.x that resulted in the array being set offline when a volume was
detected to have missing pages. Version 9.1.4 restores the behavior to the previous action where just the volume with the missing
pages is set offline and not the whole array.
•
[CRITICAL]
During a firmware update to version 9.1, orphan replication information for deleted partnerships might have prevented the
upgraded array from accommodating initiator sessions while an internal process frequently respawned.
Replication
•
While creating replication schedules, extra characters might have spuriously been appended to the partner name.
Issues Corrected in Version 9.1.3
This version of PS Series firmware includes all bug fixes that were incorporated into earlier releases.
Install/Updates
•
Following a firmware update, the snapshot collection max keep value was not set correctly.
•
If there was not enough space available to perform a firmware update, the following error was generated:
Observed SCP Error:
Unknown error.
Replication
•
The value of maxkeep was incorrectly calculated, causing multiple replicas to be deleted in rapid succession when the replication
schedule was run.
•
While replicating from a Storage Center to a PS Series array, a PS controller failover occurred.
•
User was unable to use the CLI to promote the inbound replicaset for SC to PS replicated volumes.
•
While replicating from a Storage Center to Peer Storage array, the replication retention policy was not honored.
Issues Corrected in Version 9.1.2
This version of PS Series firmware includes all bug fixes that were incorporated into earlier releases.
Networking
Code was enhanced to improve the compliance with SCSI and iSCSI standards and correct some Protocol Error conditions.
Replication
Cross-platform replication (XPR) could not be configured because a volume was not created properly which prevented the system from
making the proper connections from the SC to the PS array.
User Interface
Group Manager would not open when using Firefox version 53.0 or earlier.
Issues Corrected in Version 9.1
This version of PS Series firmware includes all bug fixes that were incorporated into earlier releases.
Hardware
•
A spare drive in spin-down state failed during an I/O controller reset.
