New Features

API & CLI

• Both Instance name and Instance display name can be updated via Morpheus API and CLI ^6.0.4

• Removed /api/doc endpoint from Morpheus API and doc command from Morpheus CLI ^6.0.4

Fixes

API & CLI

• It is now possible to use the instances add, blueprints add, and apps add CLI commands in a sub-tenant and use a custom instance type and layout shared from the master tenant ^6.0.4

• Small fixes and improvements made to bulk Role permissions changes made via Morpheus API (equivalent to updating all permissions for a specific object type in the UI, for example, setting all Instance Types to FULL access) ^6.0.4

Amazon

• Updated logic for creating Cost and Usage Reports (CUR) in Morpheus to account for changing requirements from the AWS side ^6.0.4

• When provisioning RDS, Security Groups and DB Subnet Groups are now filtered based on the selected VPC ^6.0.4

Apps

• App status is now upgraded to healthy when manually re-running (successfully) any failed provisioning Tasks which initially caused one or more of the App Instances to “fail” provisioning ^6.0.4

Backups

• Fixed an issue that could caused automated backup jobs to fail when Instances had a very large number of disks ^6.0.4

Catalog

• Input visibility which is based on a Checkbox-type Input now works correctly on Catalog Items

Clouds

• When deleting Clouds with “Remove Associated Resources” left unchecked, Teardown-phase Tasks are no longer run on workloads in the Cloud ^6.0.4

Hosts

• The Info section of a Host detail page now shows the ESXi version correctly ^6.0.4

Inputs

• Fixed an issue that prevented Inputs from being deleted if they’d been added to a Form even after the Form was deleted

Instances

• Day of Week-type Schedule Thresholds set on Instances now include a timezone selector rather than defaulting to UTC ^6.0.4

• Fixed an error that could be thrown when editing Instances and triggering any Reconfigure-phase Tasks on the Provisioning Workflow associated with the Instance Layout ^6.0.4

• IP addresses for additional (non-primary) network interfaces are now surfaced into Morpheus immediately where previously they were not surfaced until the next cloud sync ^6.0.4

• Instance and server detail pages now show tags in alphabetical order (by the name of the name/value pair) ^6.0.4

• Tasks can now be run against Instance when its owner attribute is removed or when the owning user’s account is deleted leaving no owner ^6.0.4

• When adding a node to an Instance, the Cloud selection is now honored ^6.0.4

Kubernetes

• Fixed an issue that could cause MKS clusters on VMware to fail provisioning ^6.0.4

Layouts

NSX-T

• Gateway Firewall Services can now be added to NSX-T routers created in Subtenants on NSX-T integrations shared from the Primary Tenant ^6.0.4

• The Virtual Machines tenant scoping when adding a Member Type to a NSX-t server group is now working properly ^6.0.4

OpenStack

• Creating an OpenStack Private Network with the DHCP Server flag unchecked in Morpheus now properly sets the “Enable DHCP” flag on the OpenStack side ^6.0.4

• Fixed an issue that stopped new or edited OpenStack Clouds from saving when a primary Project was not set for the user in OpenStack ^6.0.4

• OpenStack Clouds scoped to all regions now sync routers correctly ^6.0.4

Policies

• Fixed how expiration Policies adjust the delete date when an extension is applied to ensure Instances cannot be deleted before the expiration date ^6.0.4

Provisioning

• Morpheus no longer attempts to create local users when provisioning virtual images with all configuration options (cloud-init/sysprep/vmtools etc) disabled, resolving “An Error Occurred while attempting to create linux users - null” error ^6.0.4

Roles

• Fixed an issue that caused the Provisioning > Code section of the UI to be inaccessible when Infrastructure: Groups permission was set to NONE ^6.0.4

• Fixed an issue where having FULL or READ access to Operations: Usage with no rights to Invoices or Budgets would allow the Costing menu selection to appear but the page to never load ^6.0.4

• When Lifecycle: Environment Variables permission is set to a level which does not allow them to be deleted, the delete button is now hidden in the UI ^6.0.4

SCVMM

• For SCVMM Clouds, VMs are now inventoried by Cloud, Host Group, and then Cluster to ensure a correct amount of VMs is inventoried into Morpheus ^6.0.4

ServiceNow

• Fixed an issue with the ServiceNow plugin which caused Catalog Items to be duplicated when manually deleting them from SN tables and doing no other cleanup ^6.0.4

• When exposing Catalog Items to ServiceNow, fixed an issue that could cause items to be duplicated in ServiceNow ^6.0.4

• It is now possible to select the SCSI x:15 mount point for a disk in the Instance wizard or Instance/host reconfigure on VMware ^6.0.4

Whitelabel

• Fixed intermittent issues that could cause Subtenant whitelabeling to be overridden by whitelabeling in the Primary Tenant ^6.0.4

Wiki

• Instance Wiki pages will now use the Instance display name first, if set, and use Instance name as a fallback when not set ^6.0.4

• Fixed an issue that caused IPs in phpIPAM pools not to be reserved for NICs added after a reconfigure ^6.0.4
