LIMITATIONS AND KNOWN PROBLEMS FOR VERSION 9.3.0
================================================

Authority required to login to the web management interface

-------------------------------------------------------------

The new web management interface in 9.3.0 requires that users be granted read authority to some system resources that was not required for previous firmware versions. Users who have a highly restrictive access profile in RBM might encounter problems logging in to the UI until a fix for APAR IT41621 is available.

Encrypted file system performance
---------------------------------------

There is a larger than expected performance impact for queue managers that are configured to use an encrypted file system. Customers who have adopted encrypted file systems with the 9.2.5 firmware might observe a performance degradation upon migration to 9.3.0. This issue is being investigated by IBM under APAR IT41622.

LIMITATIONS AND KNOWN PROBLEMS FOR VERSION 9.3.1
================================================

No new issues. The 9.3.0 issues still apply.

LIMITATIONS AND KNOWN PROBLEMS FOR VERSION 9.3.2
================================================

No new issues. The 9.3.0 issues still apply.

LIMITATIONS AND KNOWN PROBLEMS FOR VERSION 9.3.3
================================================

No new issues. The 9.3.0 issues still apply, with the exception of the "Authority required to login to the web management interface"
issue, which is resolved in 9.3.3.
 

LIMITATIONS AND KNOWN PROBLEMS FOR VERSION 9.3.4
================================================

No new issues. The 9.3.0 issues still apply, with the exception of the "Authority required to login to the web management interface"
issue, which was resolved in 9.3.3.

LIMITATIONS AND KNOWN PROBLEMS FOR VERSION 9.3.5
================================================

The 9.3.0 issues still apply, with the exception of the "Authority required to login to the web management interface"
issue, which was resolved in 9.3.3.

Customers upgrading to 9.3.5 might observe a startup configuration error, such as:

[0x8100043e][cli][error] : Cannot find configuration object
[][cli][error] : (startup-config:929): language ru
[0x81000001][cli][error] : *** Unknown command or macro
[0x81000223][cli][error] : (startup-config:930):   admin-state disabled
[0x81000489][cli][error] : Encountered an unexpected exit directive while processing the startup configuration script.

The startup configuration error can be resolved by re-saving the configuration with the 9.3.5 firmware, such as by using the "write memory" command in the CLI.
