Resolved Issues

  • Authentication failure is reported as unknown general system error.
    Attempts to authenticate through VGAuth service might result in an authentication-specific error such as an expired account or password. The authentication-specific error might then be incorrectly reported as an unknown general system error, similar to the following:

    CommunicationException: Failed to create temp file on target <IP_ADDRESS>: A general system error occurred: Unknown error

    This issue is resolved in this release.

  • Unable to backup virtual machines with active Docker containers.

    Attempts to take quiesced snapshots may fail on RHEL 7 guest operating systems that are running Docker containers. Docker version 1.12.x and later create special mount points for containers. These mount points are recorded as 'net:[NUMBER]' instead of absolute paths in /proc/self/mounts on the system.

    Note: To see the issue tracked by Red Hat, see Red Hat Bugzilla.

    This issue is resolved in this release.
