- +===== EA Bug in NIOS <9.0.7 ====== 
 +To verify if any object data is missing, you may do an XML database dump on the GM and GMC, download the bundles, and compare the files for mismatched object values. To perform this test, take the following steps: 
 + 
 +  - Login to the CLI of the GM and GMC (active node if in an HA pair) 
 +  - Run "set maintenancemode" and then run "set debug_tools db_xml_dump" on both GM and GMC 
 +  - Once complete on both the GM and GMC exit the CLI and download a Support Bundle for each 
 +  - Uncompress the Support Bundle file and locate the onedb.xml file inside the /storage/debug_db_xml directory 
 +  - Compare the entries in the two DB files and note the objects containing ".com.infoblox.one.extensible_attributes_value" (see OS-specific examples below) or ".com.infoblox.one.hier_rule"
