  • vNIOS appliances run on virtual hardware. They do not have sensors to monitor the physical CPU temperature, fan speed, and system temperature.

  • Changing the vNIOS appliance settings through KVM may violate the terms of the vNIOS licensing and support models. The vNIOS appliance may not join the Grid or function properly.

  • If the vNIOS instance fails to launch, the ports created for the instance are not deleted automatically. You need to delete them manually.

  • When you start an FTP connection on OpenStack with the Listen on port field set it to 202120 and 21, you need to manually add a rule to allow the 2021 port20 and 21 ports. This ensures that the connection is successful.

  • Connection to the FTP service might fail when the virtual appliance enter the passive mode. To avoid this, do the following:

    • Use active mode instead of passive mode.

    • Modify the vnios-sec-group security group to open ports 1023 and above.

    • Use the FTP client inside the internal network.

  • The vNIOS instances deployed in the OpenStack environment do not support HSM Safenet groups.

  • You cannot configure the reporting virtual appliance as an HA pair. You also cannot configure it as a Grid Master or Grid Master Candidate. You can use it only as a dedicated reporting server in the Grid.

  • At certain times, a power failure (or an unexpected reboot) of the VM host may cause corruption of the VM guest unless writes are correctly persisted by setting the value of the disk_cachemodes parameter to writethrough. For more information, see the Deploying vNIOS for OpenStack topic.
