v8.0.4 Release Notes

New Features

API & CLI

  • Clusters have a new property provisionComplete which returns true after provisioning is completed

  • Integrations (/api/integrations) and integration types (/api/integration-types) can now be queried through Morpheus API

  • The /api/setup endpoint now returns an applianceId value

  • The terminal-access permission accepts none and full permission values when updated via Morpheus API to bring it in line with standard terminology for other permissions

  • The result of creating Clusters without providing a Resource Name value is now consistent across Morpheus UI, API and CLI (default cluster name and node names are provided)

Clouds

  • “Cost this Month” label on the Cloud detail page has been changed to “Estimated Cost” to increase clarity of the shown figure

Dashboard

  • Multiple Dashboard plugins can now be added to the same appliance. Within the Appliance section of Global settings, administrators can set the order they should appear

HPE VM

  • Added initial admin password confirm to the HPE VM Manager setup process to prevent the need for reinstallation if the initial password is mistyped

  • HPE VM Cluster Layout version 1.2 added in BETA. Clusters running layout version 1.2 should be used for testing purposes and should not be used for running production workloads

  • The HPE VM installer now prompts for interface names (ex. compute or management interface) using a dropdown menu to prevent failures due to simple typos

  • When installing the HPE VM Manager, an error is now logged if the installer is unsuccessful in downloading the Manager QCOW image from the URL provided

Installer

  • Added additional checks that the appliance URL DNS name is resolvable to warn the user prior to beginning the Manager installation process

Library

  • Added updated default images for many Linux flavors (and versions within each flavor) for each major provisioning technology

License

  • Morpheus appliances now allow stacking licenses. When stacked, the cumulative total of license privileges are allowed

Nutanix Prism Central

  • Added support for Nutanix Prism Central VMM GA v4.0 API. See the VMM API VERSION dropdown list when adding or editing Nutanix Prism Central Clouds

UI

  • Added a live history and process widget to the UI. Click the list icon in the top menu bar (to the left of the bell icon and the right of the global search bar). The live progress of certain processes (ex. Instance provisioning) is shown

  • The links in the support menu dropdown are now customizable via morpheus.rb file configuration. See docs section on morpheus.rb configuration for details

Fixes

API & CLI

  • API calls to resize no longer require “Reconfigure: Disk Change Type” permission when the resize doesn’t affect storage

  • Adding a network via Morpheus API now always results in a prompt to select a Network Domain

  • Fixed Inventory Options flags not being returned in GET calls for Clouds of certain Cloud types

  • When a Cloud is added in the Master Tenant and Resource Pools or folders are privately assigned to different Tenants, a Subtenant API can no longer be used to view all Resource Pools and/or folders

Amazon

  • Fixed AWS pricing calculations using “i01” disk pricing regardless of the selected storage type

Backups

  • When deleting an Instance and opting to preserve the backups, Morpheus no longer attempts to take new backups (which fail) on the scheduled backup job interval

Clone

  • Cloud-init configuration files removed prior to taking a snapshot to clone are now restored on the source VM after the clone is complete

Clouds

  • The “No Proxy” and “Bypass proxy for appliance URL” configurations on the Cloud now affect Morpheus Agent installations on running VMs

Costing

  • Synced up logic for cost projections on Cloud detail pages and cost projections on invoices to bring them into closer alignment

  • Improved Snapshot handling when VMs were not running

Instances

  • Fixed a situation where disk labels could be duplicated under certain conditions when disks were removed and added via reconfigures
