- ObjectAccess issues
- ObjectAccess server goes in to faulted state while doing multi-part upload of a 10-GB file with a chunk size of 5 MB
- When trying to connect to the S3 server over SSLS3, the client application may give a warning like "SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed"
- If the cluster name does not follow the DNS hostname restrictions, you cannot work with the ObjectAccess service in Veritas Access
- ObjectAccess operations do not work correctly in virtual hosted-style addressing when SSL is enabled
- Bucket creation may fail with time-out error
- Bucket deletion may fail with "No such bucket" or "No such key" error
- Temporary objects may be present in the bucket in case of multi-part upload
- Group configuration does not work in ObjectAccess if the group name contains a space
- OpenDedup issues
- The file system storage is not reclaimed after deletion of an OpenDedup volume
- Removing or modifying the virtual IP associated to an OpenDedup volume leads to the OpenDedup volume going into an inconsistent state
- OpenDedup port is blocked if the firewall is disabled and then enabled again
- The Storage> fs online command fails with an EBUSY error
- The OpenDedup volume is not mounted automatically by the /etc/fstab on the media server after a restart operation
- Output mismatch in the df -h command for OpenDedup volumes that are backed by a single bucket and mounted on two different media servers
- OpenStack issues
- Replication issues
- When running episodic replication and dedup over the same source, the episodic replication file system fails in certain scenarios
- The System> config import command does not import episodic replication keys and jobs
- The job uses the schedule on the target after episodic replication failover
- Episodic replication fails with error "connection reset by peer" if the target node fails over
- Episodic replication jobs created in Veritas Access 7.2.1.1 or earlier versions are not recognized after an upgrade
- Setting the bandwidth through the GUI is not enabled for episodic replication
- Episodic replication job with encryption fails after job remove and add link with SSL certificate error
- Episodic replication job status shows the entry for a link that was removed
- Episodic replication job modification fails
- Episodic replication failover does not work
- Continuous replication fails when the 'had' daemon is restarted on the target manually
- Continuous replication is unable to come in replicating state if the Storage Replicated Log becomes full
- Unplanned failover and failback in continuous replication may fail if the communication of the IPTABLE rules between the cluster nodes does not happen correctly
- Continuous replication configuration may fail if the continuous replication IP is not online on the master node but is online on another node
- If you restart any node in the primary or the secondary cluster, replication may go into a PAUSED state

Replication on a scale-out file system
A scale-out file system can be configured for synchronous or asynchronous replication. Synchronous replication provides zero RPO for applications. Asynchronous replication provides non-zero RPO while providing improved performance compared to synchronous replication.
