|
|

|
|
||
| ## Resolved Issues | ||
|
|
||
| * **Authentication failure is reported as unknown general system error.** | ||
| Attempts to authenticate through <tt>VGAuth</tt> service might result in an authentication-specific error such as an expired account or password. The authentication-specific error might then be incorrectly reported as an unknown general system error, similar to the following: | ||
|
|
||
| <tt>CommunicationException: Failed to create temp file on target <IP_ADDRESS>: A general system error occurred: Unknown error</tt> | ||
|
|
||
| This issue is resolved in this release. | ||
|
|
||
| * **Unable to backup virtual machines with active Docker containers**. | ||
|
|
||
| Attempts to take quiesced snapshots may fail on RHEL 7 guest operating systems that are running Docker containers. Docker version 1.12.x and later create special mount points for containers. These mount points are recorded as 'net:[NUMBER]' instead of absolute paths in <tt>/proc/self/mounts</tt> on the system. | ||
