v8.0.5 Release Notes¶
New Features¶
- API & CLI
Added API endpoints to support compute device passthrough from hosts to HVM workloads
- Azure
When restoring Azure backups, added storage account selection to select the staging location (datastore) in the same way as the Azure portal itself allows
- HVM
Added GPU passthrough support with pooling. Any detached GPU is considered available to the pool. A Service Plan designates whether a workload needs a GPU and removing the VM will release the GPU
Added passthrough support for PCI and NVME devices from hypervisor hosts to HVM workloads. Added devices tab at the host and VM levels to support this feature. Devices are managed through the Actions menu for each device within the host devices tab
Added passthrough support for USB devices. USB devices can be viewed from the devices tab on the host detail. Devices can be detached from the host and attached to VMs. Devices are then viewable from the VM devices tab
Added the ability to mount a
cdrom
ISO by reconfiguring the Instance and adding a “CD ROM” type disk. The disk image can be selected from an ISO-type Virtual Images currently managed by HPE Morpheus EnterpriseHVM Cluster Layout version 1.2 is now out of beta and into general availability
HVM Clusters can now be deployed through Distributed Workers without HPE Morpheus Enterprise having direct SSH access to the hypervisor hosts
When reverting to a snapshot, any child snapshots of the selected one are kept rather than being deleted
- Integrations
Added an integrations section at Administration > Integrations so administrators can manage plugins and distributed workers associated with HPE Morpheus Enterprise
- Kubernetes
Added the capability to put MKS worker nodes into maintenance mode. Maintenance mode makes the node unschedulable and all running pods that can be moved elsewhere will be moved. Once out of maintenance mode, the node becomes schedulable again
Requests to put MKS Clusters into maintenance mode (feature added with this release) can be handled through HPE Morpheus Enterprise API
When upgrading a Kubernetes Cluster, the packages associated with the new Cluster Layout are being installed and the upgrade history has been made clearer in the UI
- Plugins
Backup plugins can now be designed with the option to restore to a current Instance or restore to a new Instance
- Security
Added security enhancements to resolve potential known security vulnerabilities
- Settings
The selection of Dashboards to display in the global settings section is now a typeahead field with a browse button rather than just a typeahead field
- Terraform
The HPE Morpheus Enterprise Terraform provider now offers MKS support for Cluster provisioning, Cluster resizing, and for adding/removing workers
- UI
The global processes dropdown in the main menu bar (next to the global search field) now always shows the five most recent processes rather than automatically dismissing any inactive processes
Fixes¶
- API & CLI
Cloning HVM cluster Instances from HPE Morpheus Enterprise API no longer fails when the Instance has
cdrom
Enabled workflow selection when provisioning Clusters via HPE Morpheus Enterprise API
Fixed 500 errors thrown under certain conditions when adding a Cluster worker via HPE Morpheus Enterprise API
- Azure
Fixed Availability Zone detection for discovered Azure VMs which was preventing snapshot and restore functionality if the VM was converted to managed
Fixed Cloud sync errors related to Security Group syncing
When Instance tags are updated in the Azure portal, they are now picked up on the next Cloud sync without having to perform some other action to cause them to be picked up
- Clusters
Fixed the storage tab of the cluster detail page to prevent orphaned disk volume records from accumulating
- Console
Caps lock detection is now supported for VMware hypervisor console sessions
ctrl + c
andctrl + z
keyboard shortcuts now work for latin-based keymaps
- HVM
Fixed a bug that caused VMs stopped for an extended period to be removed from hypervisor hosts
- Instances
Converting to managed multiple times in very quick succession (such as via automated means) can no longer create multiple Instances from a brownfield VM
- Kubernetes
Persistent volumes are now deleted from clusters as expected in both the cluster and in the HPE Morpheus Enterprise UI even when an associated PVC does not exist
- Nutanix Prism Central
Fixed ISO mounts not being ejected after finalizing deployments under certain conditions
- OpenStack
Improved cleanup of temporary snapshot volumes
- Rubrik
Added proxy support for the Rubrik plugin
- Terraform
Fixed Terraform App provisioning failures which could surface under specific configuration conditions
