Issue ID	Description
DMAS(P)-244856	Occasionally, when there was a heavily loaded system from VMware VADP workload with "swapfile exclusion" option and/or "metadata indexing" option enabled on policies, the system exhausted all the internal connections to the storage system over time due to a connection leak that did not get cleaned up in time, leading to backups being stalled. The VM backups failed with the following error: Cannot connect to backup server 192.168.100.109': [5040] This issue has been fixed.
DMAS(P)-246120	When using an external protection storage or DDVE as the replication target, the system got into a state where creating a storage unit with retention lock compliance failed with the following message: 400: The specified Security Officer credential is invalid This issue has been fixed.
DMAS(P)-246132	Occasionally, replication configuration was reported as failed even when it succeeded. This issue has been fixed.
DMAS(P)-238165	When the Kubernetes controller configuration parameter k8s.ppdm.vspherecsi.use.fsagentwas enabled to use the File System agent as the data mover for vSphere CSI backups, backups randomly failed with an error similar to the following due to CSI snapshot creation failure: Unable to create snapshot … : Failed to check and update snapshot content. This issue has been fixed.

Therefore, if the REST request took more than 10 minutes, the following error was observed: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out This issue has been fixed.

The following error messages were seen: ABV0006: VM Direct engine ... is unable to back up the virtual machineThe backup had terminated unexpectedly. (500)Protection of this virtual machine by the VM Direct engine cannot be completed because the backup was unsuccesful This issue has been fixed.

DMAS(P)-242971	When you attempted to create a storage unit on the replication target appliance with retention lock compliance, the UI prompted for security officer credentials. If the credentials entered were valid, but not for the security officer role, then the storage unit creation operation was initiated, however it failed when enabling compliance retention lock mode on the storage unit. The storage unit was deleted. However, a new storage unit with the same name could not be created immediately until garbage collection was run. You could wait for the scheduled garbage collection to run or trigger garbage collection manually using the Clean Now option on the Storage page. This issue has been fixed.
DMAS(I)-22933	If a registered AD's bind credentials were changed, and if it was not updated in the DM5500 appliance, the re-registration of the user for MFA failed with no error message.
