  **Details regarding SVM-1023**:
  
  - Behavior of the WHMCS module `solusvmpro` is changed by SVM-1023.
  **Old behavior:** if a client has a single virtual server and the server is removed from WHMCS, the client is not removed from SolusVM.
  **New behavior:** if a client has a single virtual server and the server is removed from WHMCS - the client is also removed from SolusVM. If later new virtual server is created in WHMCS, the client is re-created in SolusVM.
  

• bugfix | Fixed the issue when reverse DNS zone on PowerDNS server could not be created if TLD of hostmaster email is longer than 3 symbols. (SVM-3609)

1.27.17#

25.10.2022

• feature | PHP has been upgraded to version 7.4.32. (SVM-3585)

• feature | Support of disk driver scsi for KVM VMs. (SVM-2986)

  **Details regarding SVM-2986**:
  
  - Disk driver `scsi` can now be selected on OS template adding/editing screen and on KVM VM management screens in admin UI/client UI.
  - When `scsi` driver is selected, attribute `discard` with value `unmap` is added to element `driver` of disk devices in XML configuration file of the KVM VM.
  - Prefix of the disk device name inside the VM depends on the selected driver: `ide`/`virtio` - `vd` (e.g., `/dev/vda`), `scsi` - `sd` (e.g., `/dev/sda`).
    This is the `libvirt` behavior.
    Careless changing of the disk driver can lead to inability of KVM VMs to boot. Corresponding notifications have been added in UI.
  - If some files inside the existing OS template refer to the disk name (e.g., in `/etc/fstab`), it can be required to
    [edit the template](https://support.solusvm.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011567280) before using driver `scsi` with this OS template.
  

• feature | Set netmask from IP block for OpenVZ containers. (SVM-3566)

  **Details regarding SVM-3566**:
  
  - In older versions default netmask `/24` was used for OpenVZ containers on EZ templates and `/32` for containers on legacy templates. 
  - Now netmask from corresponding IP block is used.
  

• feature | Added rockylinux as a supported prefix for KVM OS templates. (SVM-3571)

• feature | New API function get-all-nodes-statistics. (SVM-3555)

  **Details regarding SVM-3555**:
  
  - Output format is JSON only.
  - Output field names are inherited from API function [node-statistics](/solusvm1/api/admin/node-functions/node-statistics/) besides new field `node_error`.
  

• feature | New system setting Block direct access to VNC is introduced to increase security. (SVM-3444)

  **Details regarding SVM-3444**:
  
  Setting `Block direct access to VNC` is disabled by default. It can be enabled in **Admin UI > Configuration > Settings**, tab **Other**. 
  When it is enabled:
  
  - Direct access to VNC TCP ports is closed in `iptables` on KVM and Xen nodes. Access to VNC console works only from SolusVM UI.
  - Default range of TCP ports that is closed on SN is `5901-6000.` It can be extended up to `5901-7000` in system settings.
  - API function `vserver-vnc` hides values of `vncip`, `vncport`, `vncpassword`.
  - VNC settings `Address`, `Port`, `Password` and tab `VNC Password` are hidden in SolusVM client UI.
  - Outdated Java VNC console in WHMCS does not work. Use HTML5 console instead.
  

• bugfix | Fixed the issue when reverse DNS (PTR) record was not removed on PowerDNS server after VPS removing in SolusVM. (SVM-3561)

• bugfix | Fixed the issue when migration status bar could get frozen during bulk migration of OpenVZ containers although actual migration finished successfully. (SVM-3564)

• bugfix | Fixed the issue when API vserver-rebuild did not reinstall a VM from legacy to EZ template and vice versa. (SVM-3450)

• bugfix | Fixed the issue when KVM VM migration gets stuck if real disk size mismatches value in SolusVM DB. (SVM-3549)

  **Details regarding SVM-3549**:
  
  - Before starting KVM migration SolusVM compares disk size in the DB and on the Node and displays warning if the size is different.
  - Admin user can continue with the migration ignoring the warning.
  - Corresponding information is logged in **Admin UI > Log > System messages**.
  

• bugfix | Fixed the issue when SolusVM incorrectly counts the number of extra IPs assigned to a VPS when upgrading a service in WHMCS via configurable options. Fixed in version 4.1.8 of solusvmpro. (SVM-3482)

1.27.09#

12.09.2022

• feature | Added support of multiple KVM disk storages. (SVM-3486)

  **Details regarding SVM-3486**:
  
  - New KVM [Storage Manager](/solusvm1/installation-and-configuration/kvm-storage-manager/storage-manager/) and
  [Tags Mechanism](/solusvm1/installation-and-configuration/kvm-storage-manager/tags-mechanism/) are the key components of the new KVM storage management flow.
  - We recommend performing update from older versions to version **1.27.09** out of business hours or in time with minimal
  load to the system because of the possibility of a short service downtime during this update installation.
  - Update to version **1.27.09** must not intersect with AutoFTP backups creation process.
  - **Note:** It is recommended to carefully read the list of [known issues and limitations](/solusvm1/installation-and-configuration/kvm-storage-manager/known-issues-and-limitations/).

• bugfix | Fixed the issue when KVM VM failed to start due to libvirt 8 VNC password length restriction if the password length exceeds 8 characters. (SVM-3488)

  **Details regarding SVM-3488**:
  
  - API functions `vserver-create` and `vserver-vncpass` now allow only 8 characters long VNC passwords for KVM.
  - On changing VNC password in admin UI or client UI the password length cannot exceed 8 characters now.
  - Now API `vserver-console` cannot be launched for KVM since it configures serial console but KVM VMs are accessed via VNC console.
  - If WHMCS module `solusvmpro` is in use it is recommended to update the module to the latest version [4.1.8](https://github.com/solusio/SolusVM-WHMCS-Module/releases/tag/4.1.8)
