Table: APTARE IT Analytics Known Issues

Issue Number

Description

SC-46106

If there are multiple arrays configured in one Infinidat InfiniGuard data collector policy, it is mandatory to select all arrays and all probes while executing an On-demand collection to avoid interim duplication of data that resolves after successful scheduled collection of all probes for all arrays.

SC-31736

File Analytics can be enabled either from the Host File Analytics policy or through NetBackup File Analytics policy. If you enable both for the same host, then the data appearing in the reports will not be accurate.

Hence, ensure you configure File Analytics for a given host only in one policy, preferably through the NetBackup File Analytics policy.

SC-32282

APTARE IT Analytics Portal installed on a Linux host will log an invalid data growth exception if the host has two or more folders with the same name in the root directory. For example, folder names /boot and /BOOT will log the exception even though the letter case is different in both the names.

The exception is not logged if identical folder names are found at the subfolder levels.

SC-31683

File Analytics Collection Status report displays the same File Count value for both Current Collection and Previous Collection.

SC-32335

In case of Hyper-V Intelligent policy, the client name returned by Veritas Backup Manager is always VM UUID, regardless of the Primary VM Identifier of the Hyper-V Virtual Machine, which causes failure in collection of file metadata. This behavior also leads to APTARE reporting some or all such clients as unprotected.

22582

For SAN Fabric collection, in certain cases, the database may contain aliases that actually do not exist, but they appear to be associated with a zone.

21948

When running checkinstall for VMware collection, error messages may not accurately reflect the cause of the error. Inspect the collector logs for the actual cause of the error.

SC-32876

33953

Brocade collection using REST API fails when switch version is 8.2.1e and above. You need to apply a hot fix in this case.

To identify whether hot fix is required:

  1. Check whether the switch version is 8.2.1e or later.

  2. Check if the probe execution has failed, with the following log messages:

    • Debug log - Command: /rest/running/fabric/fabric-switch isSuccess: true

    • Info log - Still we see 0 principal switches. Check the logs for - Number Of Principal Switches : 0

    • Info log - The Data Collector was unable to retrieve data from the Brocade Switches using Brocade REST API.

Even if HTTPS is successful, it tries to connect using HTTP and still fails.

To apply the hot fix, copy the zip file - Bug 33953.zip by contacting Veritas support team and follow the instructions as provided in the Instructions.txt file

SCESC-26

If you use Host Attribute Import to set attribute values in the Inventory list using a CSV file, the portal and database components must run from the same server. This limitation applies only to APTARE IT Analytics 10.6.
