The following are the known issues:

Issue Troubleshooting
Connecting an Edge Device to the IEM fails and the "Nginx configuration test failed" error message is displayed during activating the Edge Device phase. Check the DNS server configuration since the error message is DNS server related. The DNS server must be configured properly and reachable for the IEM.
In case user data of edge device is corrupted due to unexpected power-outage or forcibly shutdown of edge device. IED-OS filesystem recovery process is going to take place. The process might take 2-3 hours depending on hardware specification of the running device. -
Sporadically, the Edge Device might stuck during the boot phase when you perform a firmware update. Switch off the Edge Device and switch the Edge Device on again manually. After switching on the Edge Device, the Edge Device will boot from the previous firmware version. After that, you can again trigger the firmware update process.
In case several apps are being installed at the same time, it takes a while to reach the Edge Device UI. Wait for a while to reach the Edge Device UI.
After you onboard a SIMATIC IPC427E Edge Device with IED-OS version 1.3.0-57, the "Unknown Version" notification will be displayed in the "Firmware Update" screen when updating the Edge Device. After updating the IED-OS to a newer version, this message disappears.
During firmware update IED might fail to activate device due to a failure in IE Device Catalog service and might get stucked in Activating state. The device should be rebooted. It is expected that the device would boot from the previous firmware. Firmware update should be triggered again.
Depending on the restart policies of the apps, the apps might not restart automatically after the reboot (includes also firmware update since it reboots the device). These apps should be manually started.
IED can have two selected Gateway Interfaces when one network interface configured as Gateway Interface from IED UI before onboard and another network interface configured as Gateway Interface during the creation of Edge Device configuration file in IEM. While connecting the IPC Edge Device, Pre-Onboard Network Configurations made from IED UI should be checked in order to perform a flawless connection with New IPC Edge Device Onboarding Network Configurations generated from IEM.
Firmware update gets stuck in IED-OS v1.9 after the device is reset. Device should be rebooted one more time manually via IED or IEM after reset process is completed.
After network settings change from static IP to DHCP via Device UI, it takes a while to finalize the setting of new IP. Wait for a while to see the new IP settings.
If you set the IPs on the same subnet for network interfaces, one of the connections may be broken. Do not set more than one IP on the same subnet.
When devices are onboarded to a Kubernetes IEM, every other firmware update process fails. If the firmware update process fails, try to update the firmware again and it will be successful.
