Release Dates:

New Features¶

API & CLI

When creating Instance snapshots via HPE VM Essentials API, the response now includes process IDs for the triggered snapshots

HPE VM

Provisioning to HPE VM Clusters now sets a default “Auto Datastore” selection. Users may manually select a datastore or may leave the default automatic configuration
HPE VM Clusters now support network groups
Certain actions will no longer update UUIDs for VM storage volumes (moving VM to a different host, changing disk datastores, etc)
Significant iops performance for VMs running on HPE VM clusters resulting from a switch to I/O native configuration from I/O threads

Virtual Images

When importing images from existing VMs, future attempts to provision from that Virtual Image will automatically set disks on the provisioning wizard to a minimally viable configuration (Ex. three disks in appropriate minimum sizes)

API & CLI

Fixed results from the /instances/stats API endpoint to include only statistics from Instances the user can access
Fixed calls to return Task executions failing with certain license types which shouldn’t have restricted it

HPE VM

Fixed an issue where new host nodes added to existing HPE VM clusters with GFS2 datastores would not have the datastore mounted correctly and would face sync errors
Creation time for GFS2 datastores has been improved
Improved cluster sync performance leading to quicker cluster state refreshes
Existing VMs no longer shutdown during GFS boot when adding new hosts to clusters
GFS2 resource group size raised to 4GB
SSH improvements made for adding new clusters
Fixed an issue related to network interface sync

Storage

Fixed the “Add S3 Bucket” (Infrastructure > Storage > Buckers) modal failing to load

Tasks

Fixed Tasks designed for specific versions of Powershell being incorrectly run against the default version under certain configurations

User Settings

Fixed a small styling issue on the button to upload an avatar image on the User Settings page
