Known Issues



Windows 2016 Support

  • DPC-28397: Windows 2016 backups do not currently support ReFS volumes. If an ReFS volume is selected or is part of the whole node backup, then DPX skips that volume.

Linux Backup to CDOT

  • DPC-28446: Linux BLI to CDOT backup succeeds, but APPS might initially indicate task failure in job log. However, APPS succeeds on retry.
  • DPC-28444: In Linux environment, multiple IA mappings of CDOT job instances result in problems when unmapping. The workaround is to manually unmap drives using the iscsiadm command.
  • DPC-28383: DPX Linux backups to a CDOT target using iSCSI employ the first available Logical Interface (LIF) of an SVM node, even if other LIFs have iSCSI available on that SVM.
  • DPC-28341: IV/BMR for Linux UEFI is not supported for all targets: 7-mode, CDOT, and OSS.
  • DPC-28325: Issues occur with Block Backup to CDOT job definition when the DPX Enterprise is updated to DPX 4.4.4 and the Linux client is an earlier DPX version. See Knowledge Base Article 47244.

Linux Backup

  • DPSUST-3669: DPX Advanced Linux clients compute checksums on source file systems and identify changed blocks. That background process sometimes can cause job progress indicators to change slowly giving false impression of a hang while the backup is actually progressing.
  • DPC-28445: On Red Hat 7.2x64, after running FV/RRP with static IP and new hostname, the resulting IP address and hostname are incorrect.
  • DPC-28095: Support for remote seeding is not currently available for Linux Checksum (hasher) based backups.

DPX Services

  • DPC-27990: DPX services do not auto-start after a reboot of AIX 7.1 server with DPX installed. As a workaround, start the DPX service manually after a system reboot.

BMR Recovery Wizard

  • DPC-28284: For BMR Recovery Wizard, there is a user interface problem when dragging from the “Backup” box to the “Destination machine” box if you selected Windows 2012 x64 or later. The workaround is to select the Backup Source Partitions and Destination Disks, then click the Right Arrow button.

Backup to OSS

  • DPC-27684: In an OSS environment, to delete an Agentless backup job or Block backup job and all its associated DPX backup instances, user must first delete the job definition, then expire the cataloged backup instances, then do a Catalog condense. If this order is not followed then snapshots may remain on the destination resource and the corresponding space will not be recovered.
