- When trying to connect to the S3 server over SSLS3, the client application may give a warning like "SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed"

- Temporary objects may be present in the bucket in case of multi-part upload
- Group configuration does not work in ObjectAccess if the group name contains a space
- OpenDedup issues
- The file system storage is not reclaimed after deletion of an OpenDedup volume
- Removing or modifying the virtual IP associated to an OpenDedup volume leads to the OpenDedup volume going into an inconsistent state

- OpenStack issues

- When running episodic replication and dedup over the same source, the episodic replication file system fails in certain scenarios
- The System> config import command does not import episodic replication keys and jobs
- The job uses the schedule on the target after episodic replication failover
- Episodic replication fails with error "connection reset by peer" if the target node fails over

- Episodic replication job modification fails
- Episodic replication failover does not work
- Continuous replication fails when the 'had' daemon is restarted on the target manually
- Continuous replication is unable to come in replicating state if the Storage Replicated Log becomes full
- Unplanned failover and failback in continuous replication may fail if the communication of the IPTABLE rules between the cluster nodes does not happen correctly

Cloud tiering limitation
Cloud Tiering is a supported feature available on Scale-Out FS, it is not supported on CFS file systems. If you want to use cloud tiering you should manually create a Scale-Out file system instead of using one of the policies that are included with Access. The reason being all policies, except the LTR policies, create CFS file systems, which does not support cloud tiering.
