Known Issues

Opengear are aware of the following product specific issues with this release:

After promotion, the primary and secondary Lighthouses might not report the correct status. This can be fixed by running /etc/scripts/primary_Lighthouse_resync_replication.sh on the secondary Lighthouses
External endpoint addresses (IPv6) are not automatically populated for Azure Lighthouses. Currently the user has to manually update this address on Lighthouse
If NetOps installation fails on a Lighthouse, the error message may not be displayed and failure should be triaged observing logs in /var/log/nom-state
For Lighthouse deployments that don't use /dev/sda1 as the root volume, upgrading to versions from 20.Q4.2 must be done via the command line.
- For example, if the device is /dev/vda1, the following command will need to be run to specify the root volume:
  - SYSFLASH_IB_DEV=/dev/vda1 sysflash -v ./og-image-lighthouse-lighthouse.lh_upg
- Note: This only works for standalone Lighthouse instances, or the primary Lighthouse in a Multiple Instance configuration. In a Multiple Instance configuration, the old secondary instances will need to be un-enrolled then re-enrolled into the primary Lighthouse.
The custom auth timeout values set in the ogconfigcli are currently not applied to the TACACS variants of auth configurations. Users will have their timeout values reset to the default 10 seconds from 21.Q4.0
