  <title>Known Issues and Limitations in this Release</title>

  <para>This chapter lists the known general issues and limitations that
  affect the current release.</para>

  <para><remark>The section further down is generated from JIRA with
  gen_known_issues.py, but that script is HARDCODED with affectedversion
  "EL7_3-virtualization" and needs to be adapted when a release info for
  another ENFV Access version changes.</remark></para>

      <para><remark>ELCCR-119</remark>Multiple uCPE devices behind a firewall
      or a gateway connecting with Call-Home are not supported.</para>

    <listitem>
      <para><remark>ELCCR-319</remark>After a successful installation or
      upgrade, it takes about 2 minutes until the device is accessible from
      the uCPE Manager.</para>
    </listitem>

    <listitem>
      <para><remark>ELCCR-349</remark>If the uCPE Manager has not been
      successfully installed originally or if the installed resources (files,
      users, services, databases, environment variables, etc.) have been
      manually changed/removed, the uninstallation may fail and some resources will
      have to be removed manually.</para>
    </listitem>
    
    <listitem>
      <para><remark>ELCCR-349</remark>Recovery in case of a failed uCPE Manager
      uninstallation is not implemented. In case of a failure the resources have to
        be removed manually.</para>
    </listitem>

    <listitem>
      <para><remark>ELCCR-454</remark>Only the default database is supported,
      any requests for alternative databases are custom adaptations not tested
      by Enea.</para>
    </listitem>

    <listitem>
      <para><remark>ELCCR-474</remark>Deleting VNF instances with flows
      configured on the OVS bridges can be done only after removing the
      flows.</para>

    <listitem>
      <para><remark>ELCCR-527</remark>Cancelling a file upload in the uCPE

      the next upload to work.</para>

      <para><remark>ELCCR-572</remark>Sometimes when selecting and deleting
      more than one VNF instance simultaneously, an error message might be
      triggered, even if the delete operation succeeds.</para>
    </listitem>

    <listitem>
      <para><remark>LXCR-????</remark>The Call Home functionality does not
      support having multiple interfaces/routes that go from the device to the
      uCPE Manager.</para>
    </listitem>

    <listitem>
      <para><remark>LXCR-9799</remark>NFV Access can boot from the wrong
      partition if two HDDs are attached to the same device, this must be
      avoided.</para>
    </listitem>

    <listitem>
      <para><remark>LXCR-9853</remark>The WAN interface of uCPE device needs
      to be connected to a network with at least a router/gateway installed
      for next-hop communication.</para>

    <listitem>
      <para><remark>LXCR-9853</remark>When configuring a VNF with WAN and

      virtual interfaces are configured so that proper routes are used for
      traffic egress-ing the VNF.</para>

    <listitem>
      <para><remark>LXCR-9904</remark>NFV Access cannot be installed on USB
      storage devices.</para>
    </listitem>

    <listitem>
      <para><remark>LXCR-9992</remark>Due to the way VFIO works, there are
      certain limitations regarding which devices can be used with VFIO. Mainly, it
      comes down to how IOMMU groups work. Any Virtual Function device can
      be used with VFIO on its own, however, physical devices will require either
      all ports to be bound to VFIO, or only some of them bound while others not
      bound to anything at all.</para>

      <para>If UEFI secure boot is enabled, the Linux kernel may disallow the
      use of UIO on the system. Therefore, devices intended for use by the DPDK should be
        bound to the <literal>vfio-pci</literal> kernel module rather than the 
        <literal>igb_uio</literal>.</para>

      <para><emphasis role="bold">PDF navigation</emphasis>: When using links
      to open other PDFs, or jump to another place in the same PDF, jumping
      back sometimes fails. This has been observed when opening a PDF in Adobe
      Reader, inside a browser with PDF add-on, as well as when the browser is
      configured to open PDF files in an external PDF reader. As a workaround,
      open the HTML version of the document.<remark>LXCR-3283</remark></para>
