April 2018

PlateSpin Protect 11.3 resolves several known issues from the previous release as well as issues that were reported by customers and partners.

1.0 Resolved Known Issues

This section describes previous known issues that were resolved in this release. See also Resolved Issues List.

1.1 Windows Dynamic Disks: Npart Error Code 28 msg=Device <Name> Does Not Have Enough Free Space (No Space Left on Device)

Issue: A source Windows workload has a Simple Dynamic Volume or a Spanned Dynamic Volume. The member partitions for the Windows Dynamic Disk are initialized as MBR, but the total volume size exceeds 2 TB. A disk error occurs when the volume is created on the target workload as Simple Basic Volume disk with MBR partitioning. (Bug 1046179)

Fix: For a Simple Dynamic Volume or a Spanned Dynamic Volume where member partitions are initialized as MBR, if the total size of the partitions exceeds the MBR partition size limit of 2 TB, the target Simple Basic Volume disk will be initialized as GPT.

1.2 At Least One Swap Partition Must Be Recreated

Issue: For a Linux workload, a standard swap file or LVM swap file is not recognized after discovery as a swap file because of a pvscan error when the swap space is hosted in a SAN. Discovery and failover might be affected. (Bugs 967241 and 1025310)

Fix: Swap devices hosted in a SAN are recognized by discovery and failover.

1.3 Validator Does Not Prevent Adding RHEL/CentOS/OL 7.3 Workloads with XFS v5 File System

Issue: In the Web Interface, the source workload file system validator does not stop you from configuring a workload with the XFS v5 file system. However, an unexpected error occurs in the Copy Data job, with a message in the system log about the wrong file system type. (Bug 1067022)

Fix: A validator will now prevent protection of XFS v5 workloads.

1.4 VMware Role Tool to Verify Permissions to the Roles

Issue: Some permissions for new settings were missing for the default VMware roles in the PlateSpinRole.xml file. (Bug 1069097)

Fix: The PlateSpinRole.xml file was updated to include the necessary permissions.
