Release Notes

Ceph Scale-out Block, Object and File

  • Fixed an issue with the ceph cluster discovery after a reboot of multiple ndes. This fixes a regression introduced in 5.6.0. [ QSTOR-7093 ]

  • Fixed the size reporting for the Ceph Journal/Wal DB size create in the task detail. [ QSTOR-7091 ]

  • Added support for mixed SSD sizes for Ceph Journal creation when the Create OSD Advanced option 'Allow Mixed size pairing of SSD' is checked. Note that the smallest of the two SSD's will be used as the capacity limit for the resulting mirrored Journal Group. [ QSTOR-7048 ]

  • Fixed an issue with the Ceph OSD create when using an odd number of SSDs and the Mirror Journal checkbox is checked. Now there is an error dialog that appears before any actions are performed at the task level. [ QSTOR-7042 ]

  • Added support in the Storage Volume create for creating a Ceph RBD with a block size in ranges from 4K to 4MB. [ QSTOR-7118 ]

  • Added a check for RBD Snapshots to block snapshot creation if the block size is not 4MB. Future releases of QuantaStor on the bionic platform are planned to remove this restriction. [ QSTOR-7118 ]

  • Fixes RBD information collection logic to limit the use of 'rbd du' due to slow collection of used capacity [ QSTOR-7118 ]

Hardware Enclosures and Controllers

  • Fixed the MegaRAID based HPE SmartArrayControllers to work with the storcli utility. [ QSTOR-7089 ]

  • Fixed an issue with MegaRAID basec controllers being filtered for certain OEMs (Dell, HPE, Lenovo) [ QSTOR-7089 ]

  • Added auto disk blink management for Disks such as SATA that do not have a SAS address. [ QSTOR-7069 ]

  • Fixed an issue where attempting to create an HA group on a degraded pool would report the missing disk as SATA. Creating HA groups on degraded pools is not supported, but the messaging is much clearer now. [ QSTOR-6997 ]

Remote Replication, Snapshots and Backup Policies

  • Added a check for remote replication to provide a clear error detail if the destination does not have enough space to receive the replication delta.[ QSTOR-7103 ]

Service Core

  • Fixed an issue with service startup where a Redhat platform specific check was being triggered on Ubuntu. [ QSTOR-7098 ]

Upgrade Manager and Installer

  • Fixed an issue where upgrades from the QuantaStor Upgrade Manager UI could be blocked. [ QSTOR-7094 ]

  • Resolved an issue where the task progress would not transition to 100% after an upgrade task completes. [ QSTOR-7094 ]

  • Updated QuantaStor versioning to include a reference hash that allows OSNEXUS support and engineering to more quickly and accurately know the features, changes or fixes a customer may have deployed compared to any more modern available release. [ QSTOR-6838 ]
