II. FIXED ISSUES
- Numerous cosmetic fixes.


III. KNOWN ISSUES
Configurations supported via PVR (Product Variation Request) are not supported unless specifically stated in the PVR document.


ISSUE:
	No failure may come up if the ATTO FibreBridge port is configured for 4G speed

DESCRIPTION:
	The rule may not be producing a failure but a pass if the ATTO FibreBridge port is
	configured for 4G instead of 8G.

WORKAROUND:
	Manually verify that all ATTO 6500N FibreBridges have the speed setting of 8G on the FC1 port



ISSUE:
	Rule may stop executing if one or more devices are failed to collect all data

DESCRIPTION:
	A rule may stop to execute on all further devices of the same type if it tries to
	run but data is missing or incomplete.

WORKAROUND:
	Ensure that that the MetroCluster is healthy and data from all devices is properly collected.


ISSUE:
	Result Files and queries saved from MetroCluster Plugin 1.1 or older do not open with version 1.3

DESCRIPTION:
	Result Files and queries saved from MetroCluster Plugin 1.1 or older do not open with version 1.3. This is due to change in the arrangement of Tabs in the 1.3 release.

WORKAROUND:
	Re-enter the credentails and replace the older queries. Re-collect data to run the rules.
