- 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
- When editing a storage resource or backup server, an Advanced button is available that shows options that you should not change
- 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
- When you create a bucket, the status of the task appears as DONE, even though the creation is still in progress
- Clicking on a non-mapped Veritas Access cluster directs you to an empty wiki page which shows a table and some data
- If you restart the operating system, the SDS Management Platform does not start automatically
- When you add a storage resource or backup server, the added resource is not automatically visible
- 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
- 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
- Creation of STU fails if the S3 user is changed
- Software limitations
About the SDS Management Platform
The Software-Defined Storage (SDS) Management Platform when integrated with Veritas Access provides a platform to integrate data from various sources within an enterprise (not just the data center), which presents a single, integrated view in to the whole environment. The SDS Management Platform brings together Veritas Access and Veritas NetBackup using a simple and intuitive platform to address long-term retention and other use cases.
The SDS Management Platform provides a platform for products like Veritas Access and Veritas NetBackup to work seamlessly to address your storage requirements. In the first iteration of the SDS Management Platform, you can manage Veritas Access and NetBackup deployments and address a critical use case for providing long-term retention storage for Veritas NetBackup using Veritas Access through a single interface. You can also provision and manage storage across your Veritas Access clusters using the power of SDS. In the future, other integrations for Veritas products will be introduced using the SDS Management Platform with the goal of simplifying the user experience.
