Volumes
A volume administrator that was created using radius server was erroneously given maintenance pool access.
Issues Corrected in Version 10.0
This version of PS Series firmware includes all bug fixes that were incorporated into earlier releases.
Hardware
The NMC batteries in PS4210, PS6210, and PS6610 arrays were programmed to learn capacity and a temperature threshold at 40C.
This value was too low for normal ambient conditions and was changed to 55C.
Installation, Configuration, and Updates
When users saved the group configuration to a file using the
save-config
CLI command, the volume schedules related to snapshot
and replication were not saved.
Networking
Initiators might erroneously fail to log in to a single volume with
Local reset initiated due to network
errors .
Replication
Cross-platform replication snapshots were deleted even if the volume had an on-going replication scheduled or online activated DR
snapshots.
The time in all of the arrays involved in a cross-platform replication was not synchronized, which led to unexpected expiration of
replicas.
Cross-platform replication 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.
[Critical] In very rare conditions where snapshot compression was enabled, PS6210 or PS6610 controllers could have rebooted
continuously due to a misinterpretation in the internal metadata structures. Additional code enhancements have also been added in
relation to this fixed item.
User Interface
When an SSH client attempted to log in to an array, sshd presented keyboard-interactive and public-key as valid authentication
methods, when they are not. This led to false-positive results on vulnerability scanners.

Front LCD Panel Disk Indicator Conditions
The Hardware Maintenance Guides and Disk Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) document for the PS6500 and PS6510 Series arrays fail to
mention that the front LCD panel disk indicator also flashes in the following cases:
If a RAID set is in a faulted state
If multiple RAID sets are found
If a drive is too small
In lost block conditions
If the write cache is lost or orphaned
NOTE:
The color of the indicator was incorrectly stated as yellow instead of orange.
