HU01204 Users were not able to access the shares due to snapshot related deadlock in GPFS. This exposure exists after upgrade to V1.6.0.x when snapshots created on V1.5.x and V1.6.0.x coexist on the system. HU01129 Client unable to access the system because of CTDB unhealthy on all nodes. HU01150 Process smbd terminates after CTDB timeout. HU01133 NFSv4 server exits on locks out of sync causing NFS services to stop. HU01168 After upgrade access to CIFS shares is lost on the system when the number of ranges for AUTO ID mapping is less than 3 for plain AD authentication configuration when default configuration settings for AUTO ID pool are overridden. High Importance Fixes HU01207 Repeated INFO messages indicating a restart of vsftpd service, such as "A start service was detected with vsftpd" and "A stopped or failed service was detected with vsftpd". HU01217 After upgrade parent filesystem free space reported instead of fileset when fileset quotas are enabled. HU01196 Creating Filesytem using system GUI with owning group option fails. HU01202 System node becomes unhealthy due to false positive result during internal validation of NFS Ganesha export paths. HU01197 SVC command user credentials gets logged in Unified log file. HU01154 Excessive SS0010 and SS0011 events causes GUI to crash. HU01123 Java runs out of memory and generates core dump causing GUI to crash.

HU01138 Upgrade failed with error 01E0 at task U010cluster_hsm_upgrade. HU01117 After upgrade the lsnwinterface CLI does not display vlan ip information. HU01170 Running nmap makes the CLI server inadvertently process the nmap requests incorrectly eventually leading to CTDB marking the node unhealthy. HU01173 Callhome generates multiple cndump logs due to timezone offset difference. HU01175 GPFS mmapplypolicy command failure due to a race condition when several simultaneous policy sessions are invoked through operations such as triggering multiple NDMP backup sessions in parallel. HU01164 GUI is incorrectly displaying fileset quota limits inherited from filesystem even though the 'per fileset' quota option is enabled. Suggested Fixes HU01201 After upgrade to V1.6.0.x, lsidmap incorrectly displays EFSSG1145W Warning: "EFSSG1145W Warning: Some domain or SID information is not available. Verify AD domains connectivity with the cluster" HU01135 Unscannable files are continuously being resent for antivirus scanning which can affect antivirus performance.
