Known issues


The table below lists known issues in the current release of HCP. The issues are listed in order by reference number. Where applicable, the service request number is also shown.

Ref. number

SR

number

Description
HCP-804 -

HCP Data Migrator can set the value of the hold parameter to true, but not to false
HCP Data Migrator can be used to place an object on hold by updating the system metadata for the object to set the hold parameter to true. However, you cannot use the HCP Data Migrator to remove a hold from an object because the HCP Data Migrator cannot set the value of the hold parameter to false.

HCP-5153 - False log messages with lowest-numbered node addition
When a new node is added to an HCP system, a message about it is written to the system log. If the number of the new node is lower than that of any existing nodes, the same message is written for each existing node, as if it were newly added.
HCP-5179 -

Browser caching
When an object is added to a namespace, deleted, and then added again with the same name, it may appear to have the old content when viewed through a web browser.

Workaround: To see the new content, clear the browser cache. Be sure to use the applicable browser option to do this rather than restarting the computer.

HCP-7043 - Displaying UTF-16-encoded objects
Objects with content that uses UTF-16 character encoding may not be displayed as expected due to the limitations of some browser and operating system combinations. Regardless of the appearance on the screen, the object content HCP returns is guaranteed to be identical to the data before it was stored.
HCP-7108 -

Node restart with cross-mapped storage
In SAIN systems, if a cross-mapped node restarts while one of its physical paths to the storage array is broken, the node remains unavailable.

Workaround: Fix the broken path and restart the node from the System Management Console.

HCP-8385 -

Exposed internal mechanism for dead properties for collections
HCP uses an internal mechanism for storing WebDAV dead properties for a collection. This mechanism entails the creation of a dummy object named .webdav_properties. This object is inappropriately:

Included in the count of objects in the namespace

Exposed through the HTTP, CIFS, and NFS protocols

Returned by searches for which it meets the search criteria

If you are storing dead properties for collections, do not delete any .webdav_properties objects.

HCP-8570 - Missed log messages when no leader node
Normally, one node in an HCP system is responsible for writing messages to the system log. This node is called the leader node. Rarely, brief periods occur during which no leader node exists (for example, because the leader node has failed and a new leader node has not yet been established). During such periods, messages for which the leader node is responsible are not written to the log.
HCP-8665 - Shredding in SAIN systems
In SAIN systems, HCP may not effectively execute all three passes of the shredding algorithm when shredding objects. This is due to the fact that some storage arrays make extensive use of disk caching. Depending on the particular hardware configuration and the current load on the system, some of the writes from the shredding algorithm may not make it from the cache to disk.
HCP-9212 -

Log display skips messages
When you page through a display of log messages in the System or Tenant Management Console, some messages may be skipped. This happens because the Console retrieves the next or previous group of messages based on the message timestamps.

Each time you request a next page of messages, the Console starts the new page with the message with the next later timestamp from the last message on the current page. If a page boundary falls between multiple messages with the same timestamp, retrieving messages starting with the next timestamp skips the messages that come after the page break. The equivalent process happens when you request a previous page of message.

As additional messages are added to the log, the page boundaries change, with the result that previously skipped messages reappear.

HCP-9360 - Browser pages for large directories
You can view the contents of a namespace in a web browser through HTTP (default namespace only) or WebDAV. Some browsers, however, may not be able to successfully render pages for directories that contain a very large number of objects.
HCP-11317 - Using NFS to delete objects open for read
Using NFS, if you try to delete an object that is currently open for read on the same client, HCP returns this error: Read-only file system.
HCP-11667 - Appending to objects on unavailable nodes
If an object is open for append on a node that becomes unavailable, attempts to append to the object fail.
HCP-12089 - Cannot ingest very large email attachments
HCP fails to ingest email attachments substantially greater than 400 MB. In such cases, the client receives a 221 return code.
HCP-13183 -

SNMP version 2c traps sent for version 3 traps
HCP can be configured to use SNMP version 3. However, when configured this way, HCP sends version 2c traps instead of the expected version 3 traps.

Workaround: To receive traps from HCP, have your SNMP application accept SNMP version 2c traps.

HCP-13574 -

WebDAV does not correctly list objects with custom metadata
Namespaces can be configured to store WebDAV dead properties in custom-metadata.xml files. If regular custom metadata is stored for one or more objects in a directory before this configuration is set, subsequent WebDAV requests for listings of that directory fail with an XML parsing error.

Workaround: Do not use custom-metadata.xml files to store WebDAV properties for an object if any objects in the same directory already have custom metadata.

HCP-16516 -

Cannot log into HCP interface as local user in Internet Explorer
With Internet Explorer, if the Active Directory user account with which you’re currently logged in to Windows is not an account that’s recognized by HCP and any of these applies, Internet Explorer displays a Connect window instead of the page with the link to the login page for the target interface:

You are trying to access the System Management Console, and support for Active Directory is enabled at the system level.

You are trying to access the Tenant Management Console for an HCP tenant, and Active Directory is enabled as an authentication type for the tenant.

You are trying to access the Namespace Browser for an HCP namespace, and Active Directory single sign-on is enabled for the namespace.

If you enter credentials for an HCP user account in the Connect window, Internet Explorer returns an error message.

Workaround: To access the target interface using an HCP user account, click the Cancel button in the Connect window to display the page with the link to the login page for the target interface.

HCP-18233 -

Changed computer account not added to all applicable groups in Active Directory
When you enable HCP support for Active Directory, the HCP computer account you specify is automatically added to the groups in Active Directory that include the user account you specify. If you then remove the computer account from one or more of those groups and reconfigure Active Directory support with a new computer account, the new computer account is not automatically added to the groups from which the previous computer account was removed.

Workaround: Do not remove the old computer account from the groups in Active Directory until after you have changed the computer account in HCP. If you have already removed the old computer account from one or more groups, resubmit the Active Directory configuration in HCP without changing the computer account. This puts that computer account back in the groups from which it was removed. When you subsequently change the computer account in HCP, the new computer account will be added to all the groups that include the user account.

HCP-18352 - HCP unresponsive after Active Directory cache cleared while Active Directory is unavailable
If you clear the Active Directory cache while HCP cannot communicate with Active Directory, the HCP system becomes unresponsive for up to ten minutes.
HCP-18654 - No success or error message in response to action taken in Console
Occasionally, the System and Tenant Management Consoles do not display any success or error messages in response to an action that results in a fresh display of the page on which the action was taken.
HCP-18700 - Standby spindown volumes possibly not reported in data migrations
In an HCP SAIN system with spindown storage, when you configure a data migration, the logical volumes (LUNs) reported for each node in the Configuration panel on the Migration page in the HCP System Management Console may not include standby volumes on spindown storage. Additionally, the standby spindown volumes may not be included in the downloaded configuration report. Although these volumes may not be reported, they are always properly included in the data migration.
HCP-19123 - Objects incorrectly reported as irreparable or unavailable after data migration
During a data migration, the Migration service may incorrectly report one or more objects as irreparable or unavailable. After the data migration is complete, you can run the Content Verification service to clear these errors.
HCP-19128 -

Downloads with HTTPS fail in Internet Explorer 9
With Internet Explorer 9, attempts to download files (such as chargeback reports and SSL certificates) from URLs that use SSL security (that is, URLs that start with HTTPS) fail.

Workaround: In Internet Explorer 9:

1.On the Tools menu, select Internet Options.

2.In the Internet Options window, click the Advanced tab.

3.On the Advanced page, under Security, deselect the Do not save encrypted pages to disk option.

4.Click the OK button.

HCP-20401 -

Node restart due to large element content in annotation
While XML checking of custom metadata is enabled, if an annotation is added to an object where the content of an element in the annotation is very large, a node may restart itself.

Workaround: Disable XML checking for the namespace that contains the object.

HCP-20706 - DPL 2 object object copies stored on same node
If a DPL 2 namespace service plan is configured so that the namespace stores one object copy on primary running storage and the other copy on an external storage volume, both copies can be stored on the same  node, which can cause the object unavailablility if the node fails.
HCP-20827 -

Delayed read from replica when external storage unavailable
In a replicated namespace, if the only copy of the data for an object is in external storage and that storage is unavailable, NFS and WebDAV requests for the object may time out for several tries before HCP retrieves the object from the replica.

Workaround: Either bring the external storage back online, or retry the request in five minutes.

HCP-21365 - Alert about Active Directory connection with online HCP upgrade
In an HCP system that’s configured to support Active Directory, during an online upgrade and for a short time after the upgrade is complete, the System Management Console may show an alert indicating a problem with support for Active Directory. This alert is most likely false and will go away on its own. If Active Directory authentication is working, the alert can be safely ignored.
HCP-21056 - Network interface event upon MTU change
When you change the MTU for a network, the network interface may go down and then come back up on nodes that are Dell 1950 servers.
HCP-22241 -

Username mappings applied to AD users of HCP namespaces
For the default namespace, Active Directory user authentication is implemented through the use of a username mapping file that associates AD usernames with UIDs and GIDs. If an AD user included in the username mapping file also has access to an HCP namespace, the objects that the user stores in the HCP namespace have the UID and GID specified in the username mapping file.

As a result, a user using CIFS for authenticated access who is included in the username mapping file or a user using NFS has access to such an object only if one of these is true:

With CIFS, the UID for the user in the username mapping file matches the object UID.

With NFS, the user’s UID matches the object UID.

With CIFS, the user is included in the AD group identified by the object GID.

With NFS, the user is included in the group identified by the object GID.

WIth CIFS, the user has been granted access to the object by the object ACL.

The object ACL grants all users access to the object.

The minimum data access permissions for the namespace grant all users access to all objects in the namespace.

Users using HTTP, HS3, WebDAV, CIFS for authenticated access who are not included in the username mapping file, or CIFS for anonymous access have access to such an object regardless of the object UID and GID.

HCP-23070 -

False alerts for network with same name as deleted network
If you create a network with at least one node IP address, then delete the network, and then create a new network with the same name as the deleted network and no node IP addresses, the Overview, Hardware, Storage Node, and Networks pages in the System Management Console display alerts indicating that a network error exists. Additionally, HCP writes this message to the system log:

Network interface bond0.xxxx for network network-name is not functioning properly.

When you subsequently assign IP addresses for the network to one or more nodes, the alerts disappear.

HCP-23881 -

Nodes may fail with the error message “Max Connections hit: Could not get a connection, pool is exhausted”
Even if the supported limit of 200 connections is not reached, if too many clients attempt to connect to the same namespace at the same time, one or more nodes in the HCP system may fail with the error message, “Max Connections hit: Could not get a connection, pool is exhausted”.

Workaround: Upgrade to release 7.1 or later of HCP and increase your system RAM on all nodes. At least 32GB of RAM needs to be added.

HCP-24155 -

When performing an add-drives procedure on an HCP node, an existing node sometimes issues a “barrierWait” message and then hangs
When performing an add-drives procedure on an HCP node, if one node fails, its partner node may issue a "Waiting for others at barrierWait" message and then hang.

Workaround: To get the existing node back into a working state, press Control-C to cancel the drive addition procedure. You can then restart the procedure.

HCP-24156 -

Cannot use a domain name to connect to a namespace on an IPv6 or dual-mode HCP network
HCP-DM does not support the use of IPv6 addresses to connect to a namespace on an HCP system.

HCP-DM can use IPv4 addresses to connect to a namespace on a dual-mode HCP network. However, if HCP-DM tries to use a domain name to connect to a namespace on a dual-mode network, when the DNS resolves the domain name, it will return both IPv6 and IPv4 addresses for the network. If HCP-DM then tries to use the IPv6 addresses to connect to the namespace, the connection will fail.

Workaround: To ensure that HCP-DM can successfully connect to a namespace on a dual-mode HCP network, you need to configure HCP-DM to connect to that namespace using the IPv4 addresses for the network.

HCP-24436 - Clearing the AD cache causes inconsistent directory permissions
Following a clearing of the AD cache on an HCP system that’s accessing AD over CIFS, when users access a given CIFS share, they will find that their file permissions have changed to root/root, with the exception of the first user to access the share following the clearing of the AD cache. That user will see the original permissions on his/her file/folders, but all others will be root/root. All other users that connect to the CIFS share will only see root/root for existing files/folders.
HCP-24472 - When using AD for HCP authentication, if a user has an AD username that includes a % character, that user cannot access the HCP system
If you attempt to log into the HCP System Management Console or Tenant Management Console using an Active Directory username that includes a % (percent) character, the HCP user authentication fails.

When attempting to update annotations for objects that have been tiered to one or more types of cloud storage, HCP sometimes returns a 503 error
When a HCP attempts to update annotations on objects that have been tiered to cloud storage, the updates will fail with a 503 error if HCP is unable to connect to the applicable cloud storage service endpoints or if HCP is unable to access the applicable cloud storage buckets, containers, or namespaces.

Workaround: Restore the connections between HCP and each applicable cloud storage service endpoint and make sure HCP can successfully access each applicable cloud storage bucket, container, and namespace. You should then be able to successfully update the annotations for any objects stored in each bucket, container, and namespace.

Irreparable objects appearing due to migrating objects ingest in HCP release 5.0 to new nodes in HCP release 7.0 or later
If objects with custom metadata are ingested in a system on HCP release version 5.X or earlier and the system is chain upgraded to release 7.0 or later and the objects are migrated to new nodes, the objects become irreparable.

Workaround: Run the Content Verification service between each upgrade in the upgrade chain.

HCP-30649 -

CR220 system installation or upgrade fails in HCP release version 8.0 due to active processor set to one core in BIOS
If an HCP system uses CR220 servers and has the active processor setting set to one core in the BIOS, the installation or upgrade procedure fails for HCP release version 8.0.

Workaround: Before installing or upgrading an HCP system, set the active processor setting in the BIOS to max cores.

HCP-30765 - Replication link shutdown error remains after replication resumes
If all replication links shut down, HCP shows a "Replication Links Shut Down - All activity on all links to and from this system has been stopped" error message on the System Management ConsoleServicesLinks page. When the replication links resume, the error message does not go away.

Workaround: Once all replication links resume, create a new replication link to make the error message go away.
HCP-30958 -

DNS failover fails due to domain name change in active/passive replication link
If a system is in a active/passive replication link and has its domain name changed, the replica system does not receive the updated domain name which causes DNS failover to fail.

Workaround: After you change the domain name for the primary system, update any setting on the tenant overview page to replicate the new domain name.

HCP-31061 -

HCP vulnerable to brute-force password detection attacks
With an HTTP-based interface (that is, the HTTP REST, HS3, HSwift, and management APIs), if you authenticate using an HCP user account, HCP does not lock out the user account after multiple failed attempts to access the system. Similarly, HCP does not lock out HCP user accounts after multiple failed attempts to change the account password.

Because accounts are not locked out under these circumstances, HCP is vulnerable to brute-force password detection attacks.

Note: With Active Directory authentication, AD lockout policies enforce account lockouts.

HCP-31082 -

Node restarts slowed due to configuring 32 or more LUNs on CR220 nodes with AMS 2500 arrays
For an HCP system with CR220 nodes and AMS2500 arrays, configuring 32 or more LUNs causes simultaneous node restarts to take longer than normal. The restarts take longer for every extra LUN after LUN 31.

HCP-31097 - DNS failover not working for replication link converted from active/passive to active/active

After a replication link is converted from active/passive to active/active, DNS failover no longer works for that link.
