VMOps Cloud Stack Version 0.4
|
||
Release Notes
|
||
********************************************************************************
|
||
|
||
=================================
|
||
WHAT'S NEW :
|
||
=================================
|
||
|
||
* NIC bonding support for the Computing, Routing, and Storage nodes to take
|
||
advantage of the multiple NICS installed on the server.
|
||
* Maintenance Mode support for physical servers. Administrators now have the
|
||
option to enable or disable maintenance mode on any physical servers. Enabling
|
||
maintenance mode on a Routing or Computing node will result in the seamless live
|
||
migration of guest virtual machines into other physical servers within the same
|
||
zone before making the server available for maintenance.
|
||
* Introduction of a new user web interface for allowing user accounts to manage
|
||
their own virtual machines. This new interface has a brand new look and feel,
|
||
allows for easier branding and customization, and is easier to incorporate into
|
||
existing web interfaces.
|
||
* Added support for the creation of Reseller Domains. The Reseller Domain
|
||
feature allows host providers to create resellers complete with their own
|
||
user base and administrators while using the same global computing resources
|
||
provided by the host provider.
|
||
* Added a new email alerting system that will now inform administrators of
|
||
events such as when physical servers are down or computing resources are
|
||
passing a pre-configured threshold.
|
||
* Massive improvements to the existing Developer and Integration API. Error
|
||
codes have now been added and existing API method names and parameters have been
|
||
made more consistent. A JSON format can also now be optionally
|
||
returned in addition to the existing XML format. Please read the new API
|
||
Reference documentation for more details on the changes.
|
||
* Billing records have now been changed to Usage records to provide data for
|
||
both billing integration and usage metering. Price has been completely removed
|
||
from VMOps. Instead we added ability to set your own display text for both
|
||
service offering and templates. You can now use this to set any text for the UI
|
||
to display.
|
||
* New virtual machines deployed will now generate a random password. A reset
|
||
password is also now available both in the web user interface as well as the
|
||
API. We support both Linux and Windows OS based templates.
|
||
* Storage server is now a bare-bone installation and uses the new COMSTAR iSCSI
|
||
stack for improved performance. We recognized that while running the storage
|
||
server as a virtual machine does allows for more hardware support, it severely
|
||
impacts performance. The list of compatible hardware can be found in the Open
|
||
Solaris website.
|
||
* Added clustering support for the VMOps Management Server.
|
||
* Added the ability to configure an additional storage ip address (separate
|
||
subnet) for both Routing and Computing servers. If a server is configured with
|
||
an additional storage ip, all storage traffic will route through this subnet and
|
||
all network/internet traffic will route through the existing private network.
|
||
* Added concept of a user account. VMOps supports multiple username for a
|
||
single user account.
|
||
* Created new installers for the VMOps MultiTenant Hypervisor and the VMOps
|
||
Storage.
|
||
|
||
=================================
|
||
KNOWN ISSUES :
|
||
=================================
|
||
|
||
* DomR is still counting internal network activities as part of the usage that
|
||
is being returned by the API.
|
||
* The reset password for virtual machine feature does not return an error if it
|
||
fails to successfully reset the password.
|
||
* VMOps installation scripts to not validate bad network configuration values.
|
||
* VNX Proxy Server does not handle rapid refreshes of web console proxy well.
|
||
* VNC Proxy Server at times do not return a thumbnail image.
|
||
* Rebooting a DomR instance will cause network traffic to not be collected.
|
||
* Associating new IP addresses should clean out existing LB or PF rules before
|
||
assigning it to a DomR instance.
|
||
* The Usage parse engine needs to be split out from the VMOps Management Server
|
||
so that only a single instance of this can be running and does not affect
|
||
normal operations.
|
||
* Templates needs a way of specifying the minimum CPU and Memory requirements.
|
||
* createUser API method currently allows you to assign users to admin accounts.
|
||
* Installations of servers with more than 3 NIC sometimes duplicates the MAC
|
||
address on the ifcfg configuration files.
|
||
* Additional admin only API methods are missing (ie. Domain management, router
|
||
management).
|
||
* Usage parse engine could go OOM in the event it has not been run recently
|
||
and there are a large (2 million+ records).
|
||
* Problem with domU when both e1000 and e1000e used as a NIC drivers for a
|
||
Computing Server. The installer needs to blacklist one of the drivers.
|
||
* vnet failures and xen crashes currently do not generate an alert to the administrator.
|
||
* The current limit for domU instances created on a Computing Server is 64 and
|
||
the currently limit for domR instances created is 59 on a Routing Server.
|
||
* No current way of allowing different subnets for different pods within the
|
||
same zone.
|
||
* limit the number of usage and event records returned by the API. A large
|
||
enough of the query could cause the Management Server to go oom.
|
||
|
||
=================================
|
||
BUG FIXES :
|
||
=================================
|
||
|
||
* Improved transactions across both database calls and calls across agents.
|
||
* Fixed an issue where duplicate IP or LB rules could be sent to the DomR
|
||
instance during a DomR restart.
|
||
* Removed requirement of the reverse DNS lookup for the Storage Server.
|
||
* Massive improvements to the HA process.
|
||
* Fixed an issue where the it would take too long for the management server
|
||
to detect a TCP disconnect.
|
||
* Fixed an issue where the the agent would *think* it has connected to the
|
||
management server but in reality, it is just stuck waiting for a response that
|
||
will never come.
|
||
* Generic DB lock wait timeout fixes.
|
||
* Improvements to the general state management of the servers.
|
||
* Fixed issue where where physical servers with the same IP attempts to connect
|
||
to the Management Server. The second server is now prevented from registering.
|
||
* Fixed an issue where deleting a user from an account would result in all the
|
||
virtual machines to be cleaned up. This can only happen if the last user for
|
||
an account has been deleted.
|
||
* Fixed an issue where the source NAT ip address of a DomR instance is being
|
||
released back into the public pool even though the DomR instance was not
|
||
successfully destroyed.
|
||
* Fixed an issue where a guest virtual machine cannot be destroyed while in HA
|
||
state.
|
||
* Removed requirement to specify the storage type when installing a new tempate.
|
||
* Fixed an issue where the console proxy from different zones are all starting
|
||
in the same zone.
|
||
* Fixed an issue where the listing of virtual machines would hang if the console
|
||
proxy is not even started.
|
||
* Massive improvements to our installer scripts.
|
||
* Massive improvements to the general stability of the Cloud Stack.
|
||
* Fixed an issue where the Hypervisor installer is unable to install onto
|
||
machines with a IPMI card.
|
||
* As usual, there are too many bug fixes to list...
