	After upgrading the system to a newer version, the event viewer reported an error message: "An unexpected system reboot occurred. Run the 'Scrub scanner' on all pools to check the system integrity. Analysis of logs and previous events can help to find the cause of this problem and prevent the issue in the future. For more information, refer to the help article.". This information should be ignored.		After upgrading the system to a newer version, the event viewer reported an error message: "An unexpected system reboot occurred.

For more information, refer to the help article.". This information should be ignored.

	=== ~~Self~~-~~Encrypting Drives (SED) feature~~ is ~~supported~~ for ~~only specific devices~~. ===		=== Low performance on remote disks in case of new installation of ZX up29r2. ===

			The source for this problem is the zfs_vdev_max_active parameter set to 1 on a new installation of ZX up29r2. To resolve this problem, please change the value of the zfs_vdev_max_active parameter from 1 to 1000 in TUI.  In order to change the zfs_vdev_max_active parameter to 1000 open ZX TUI and use CTRL+ALT+W keys combination to launch Hardware configuration. Press "Yes" to acknowledge the initial warning message. Type in the password. Choose option: Kernel module parameters. Select the zfs module, then the zfs_vdev_max_active parameter and change its value to 1000. This operation requires a restart of the ZX. This should be done by selecting the Reboot option in the TUI.

			=== In case of no local storage disks in any Non-Shared storage HA Cluster node, the remote disks mirroring path connection status shows incorrect state: Disconnected. ===

			According to assumptions, each cluster nodes in Non-Shared storage HA Cluster must have at least one local storage disk before creating the remote disk mirroring path connection.

			=== In case of adding an NVMe disk to one of the cluster nodes in Non-Shared storage HA Cluster this information will not automatically refresh on the remote cluster node. ===

			To resolve this problem, please remove and add remote disks mirroring path connection again on the WebGUI. After the remote disks mirror path connection is re-established, the disks information should be refreshed on both cluster nodes.

			=== In some environments in case of using RDMA for remote disks mirroring path, shutdown one of the cluster nodes may causes its restart instead of shutting down. ===

	~~  At this moment~~ the ~~Self-Encrypting Drives (SED) functionality is only supported for Samsung PM1643a devices only~~.		In some environments in case of using RDMA for remote disks mirroring path, shutdown one of the cluster nodes may causes its restart instead of shutting down.
