    4. SDS Management Platform known issues
      1.  
        If multiple bucket creation requests with different inputs for attributes such as size and layout are in progress in parallel, then a bucket can get created with incorrect attributes
      2.  
        When editing a storage resource or backup server, an Advanced button is available that shows options that you should not change
      3.  
        If you add a Veritas Access cluster where the host includes the protocol (such as, https://10.20.30.40), the provider gets added and collects data but running the LTR workflow fails
      4.  
        When you create a bucket, the status of the task appears as DONE, even though the creation is still in progress
      5.  
        Clicking on a non-mapped Veritas Access cluster directs you to an empty wiki page which shows a table and some data
      6.  
        If you restart the operating system, the SDS Management Platform does not start automatically
      7.  
        When you add a storage resource or backup server, the added resource is not automatically visible
      8.  
        After the SDS log is rotated, the log messages from either Veritas Access or the SDS plugin go to the rotated file instead of the new file
      9.  
        Some of the storage resources may appear as faulted and a warning sign appears next to the cluster IP address in the Infrastructure> Storage Resources page
      10.  
        Creation of STU fails if the S3 user is changed
    5.  
      Software limitations

When you create a bucket, the status of the task appears as DONE, even though the creation is still in progress

The SDS Management Platform creates a job for creating a bucket and directly sets the status of the task as DONE. The task information is given to SDS which waits for the task to be completed.

Workaround:

You can ignore the state of this task or job. You can find the real status in the child jobs of the Configure Storage for Long Term Retention job.
