Release Dates

v6.3.2 Dec 14 2023

New Features¶

API & CLI

Added the ability to configure ServiceNow integrations to use table-based CMDB mode rather than the newer IRE via Morpheus API and CLI. This configuration was added previously to Morpheus UI ^{6.0.10 6.2.5}
Added Morpheus API and CLI support for Cluster Packages which was added to Morpheus UI in a previous release

Clouds

Changing tabs on the Cloud detail page Containers tab no longer throws an error ^6.2.5

Dashboard

Added localization to the upgraded dashboard (now a plugin) which was added to the product in 6.0.0 ^{6.0.10 6.2.5}

Distributed Worker

When a Morpheus Distributed Worker is installed and configured with the appliance, Morpheus Agent communication now go back to the appliance via the Distributed Worker rather than directly to the Morpheus appliance nodes. Note: Set cloud appliance url to worker url for agent relay functionality.

Hyper-V

Added support for Hyper-V Gen 2 virtual machines ^{6.0.10 6.2.5}

Kubernetes

Added Kubernetes sync and comms over Morpheus Agent command bus. Morpheus can now sync and communicate with Kubernetes hosts over the agent for scenerios where Morpheus cannot reach k8s directly. Morpheus Worker v6.3.2 also adds agent relay for k8s hosts that are unable to reach Morpheus appliances directly.
Attached Workflows will now apply to Kubernetes Cluster Layouts before the core components are built (kubeadm, kubectl, etc.) such that Workflows can be used to help facilitate installation and configuration of core components
The default-docker-secret value as stored in etcd for MKS Kubernetes 1.28+ clusters is now encrypted ^{6.0.10 6.2.5}

NSX-T

Morpheus can now authenticate with NSX-T 4.1 as a Project-level user allowing multiple Morpheus appliances to be mapped to the same NSX server and allowing Project-scoped integrations to be created in Morpheus

Network

Using the search function on the Domains list page now searches on the Domain Name and Description fields in addition to the Domain field that was searched previously ^{6.0.10 6.2.5}

OpenStack

When provisioning an Instance, App, or Cluster to an all-Projects OpenStack Cloud, the Security Group dropdown options are being filtered properly to the selected Resource Pool ^{6.0.10 6.2.5}

Security

Embedded curl upgraded to 8.4.0 to mitigate CVEs associated with the prior installed version ^{6.2.5 6.0.10}
The first and last names columns on the Users database table are no longer encrypted. This is reverting a recent change that encrypted these values due to some unforeseen downstream issues this caused ^{6.0.10 6.2.5}
Upgraded netty-all to 4.1.77.Final to mitigate CVE-2022-24823 ^{6.0.10 6.2.5}

Fixes¶

API & CLI

Fixed returned IPv6 address value changing with each subsequent call to GET an Instance which has a single network interface which has a single IPv4 and IPv6 address ^{6.0.10 6.2.5}
GET calls for a specific Service Plan which include the parameter to get the Zones array (?includeZones=true) will now include the Zones array in the response ^{6.0.10 6.2.5}
When adding a new volume to an Instance via Morpheus API, an inaccurate message about a network adapter being removed from the instance is no longer added to History ^{6.0.10 6.2.5}

Apps

Fixed a bug which could cause the App provisioning wizard to hang indefinitely on an infinite loop associated with Instance Naming Policy conflicts ^{6.0.10 6.2.5}

Azure

Improved Azure price and plan sync logic to improve sync times and make more efficient use of memory ^{6.0.10 6.2.5}

Catalog

When Select List-type Inputs are made required and added to a Workflow which is consumed as a Catalog Item, the dropdown selection defaults to the “SELECT” value rather than the first value in the list (as when the Workflow is consumed outside Catalog) ^6.2.5

Cluster Layouts

Custom Kubernetes Cluster Layouts will no longer run hidden default Tasks in addition to the user-configured Tasks which could sometimes create conflicts

F5

Fixed the “Persistence” configuration not being selectable from the Instance provisioning wizard for F5 load balancers shared down to Subtenants ^{6.0.10 6.2.5}

Forms

Fixed an issue that could cause the Forms modal to crash under certain configurations when creating a Select List-type Input and the corresponding Option List from within the Forms modal ^6.2.5
Fixed the VMware Folder Input type not reloading properly when set to be dependent on the Cloud or Resource Pool Input fields ^6.2.5
The Networks Input on a Form used by a Catalog item is now displaying the dropdown list options properly when the field visibility is dependent on another Input ^6.2.5
The Security Group Input on Forms now properly reloads based on Resource Pool selection ^6.2.5

Google Cloud (GCP)

Morpheus is now detecting and displaying the OS type (Linux or Windows) for discovered GCP workloads ^{6.0.10 6.2.5}

IPAM

IPv6 pools can now be deleted even if they’re referenced by existing workloads ^{6.0.10 6.2.5}

Import/Export

Importing Instance Types when the destination appliance has an existing Instance Type with the same name (albeit with a different code value) will now successfully import the new Instance Type ^6.2.5

Inputs

Added a “Hidden” configuration for Inputs to hide the Input from view while still making its value accessible. When an Input is not visible due to its “Visibility Field” configuration, the value is not accessible ^6.2.5
Custom Inputs, when empty, are now passed as empty strings or null values rather than empty arrays ^6.2.5
For typeahead-based Inputs, the logic for retrieving live search results as the user types has been updated to ensure results from less-complete versions of the search string don’t replace results from more-complete versions ^6.2.5
Making Select List-type Inputs required will now only make the Input required and will not also default to the first selection in the list. The Input must be configured to “Remove No Selection” to default to the first selection :superscript:` 6.2.5`

Instances

Domain selections on the Instance provisioning wizard now properly override domains set on the Cloud or Network configuration ^{6.0.10 6.2.5}
Fixed disabled Instance action buttons (start, stop, restart service) from working on the Instance list page ^{6.0.10 6.2.5}

Integrations

Fixed the logic that controlled the sync interval for integrations which could sometimes compute an incorrect time for next sync ^{6.0.10 6.2.5}

Kubernetes

Addresses IPv6 pools can now be used with Kubernetes Cluster deployments. Previously IPv6 flags were ignored and an IPv4 address was used in its place ^{6.0.10 6.2.5}

Fixed issues related to filtering and displaying Workflows in the dropdown menu when adding or editing Layouts ^{6.0.10 6.2.5}

Library

Fixed provisioned containers displaying a generic logo rather than the logo configured on their Library item ^6.2.5

OpenStack

Creating Security Groups within project-scoped and all project-scoped OpenStack Clouds is now working properly ^{6.0.10 6.2.5}

Policies

Instances which are deleted but subject to a Delete Approval Policy and which also have an Always-On Power Schedule will no longer revert immediately from a Pending Delete state to a Running state once again ^{6.0.10 6.2.5}

Security

Attempting to access Integrations which are owned by other Tenants by modifying a URL to include an updated Integration ID will now trigger a 404 error rather than a 500 error ^{6.0.10 6.2.5}
For security reasons, 2FA authentication tokens can now only be used once rather than potentially being used multiple times within their expiration window ^{6.0.10 6.2.5}
TRACE HTTP method set to false in embedded Tomcat config ^{6.2.5 6.0.10}

Tags

Additional sql optimizations for nightly duplicate and orphaned metadata tag cleanup job ^{6.2.5 6.0.10}

Tenants

Tenants which have associated storage volumes are no longer prevented from being deleted for that reason ^{6.0.10 6.2.5}
Tenants which have integrated GCP Clouds and synced in Virtual Images from them are no longer prevented from being deleted for this reason ^{6.0.10 6.2.5}

phpIPAM

Editing names and IP addresses in phpIPAM now syncs properly in Morpheus ^{6.0.10 6.2.5}
Improved logic for computing used and available addresses in phpIPAM IP Pools which could sometimes be computed slightly incorrectly ^{6.0.10 6.2.5}
Morpheus now gracefully handles the deletion of phpIPAM subnets from the phpIPAM side when Instances have already been provisioned from Morpheus using addresses from that pool. Previously integration sync errors would surface ^{6.0.10 6.2.5}
