  • Known Issue: Group Logic does not suggest that volumes be added or removed while the ExtremeZ-IP service is under heavy load - doing so can potentially cause some or all connected users to disconnect. This issue is currently being addressed, and will be fixed in a future release of ExtremeZ-IP.
