  • Added global node support for OpenVZ Ploop. To use a node with Ploop you must tick OpenVZ Ploop under the Node Settings. If the node has existing virtual servers using simfs you will need to convert them using vzctl convert CTID .
  • Added better support for removing stale partition mappings when a Xen virtual server is deleted.
  • Improved wildcard search when search the virtual server list.
  • Added mass-callback script for updating all hostnames and ipaddresses via the callback system. See /scripts/mass-callback –help

  • Added a fix for Xen PV virtual server disk usage showing 100% if the virtual server is on a CentOS 6 host. XENFIXCENTOS6DF=“1” can be added to /usr/local/solusvm/data/advanced.conf on the affected host node. We are not sure if this is a bug in the host's df command as yet.
  • If you have issues with false positive connection error alerts, there is now an optional flag you can add to /usr/local/solusvm/data/config.ini on the master. Set extra_pass_on_fail = true to run a second check if the first fails before sending an email.
  • Several logical volume settings have been added for KVM slave nodes. Settings are available in /usr/local/solusvm/data/config.ini This enables you to pass the following flags when a virtual servers logical volume is created:
    lvcreate (-i) stripes (default not set). Numeric value only
    
    lvcreate_stripes = 1
    
    lvcreate (-I) stripesize (default not set). Numeric value only
    (kilobytes)
    
    lvcreate_stripe_size = 512
    
    lvcreate (-c) chunksize (default not set). Numeric value only
    (kilobytes)
    
    lvcreate_chunk_size = 512
    
    lvcreate (-aey) Use the -aey flag to activate logical volume exclusively
    on the host node (true\|false)
    
    lvcreate_aey = false
    
  • Several changes have been made to the master's SQL indexing to improve performance when searching and data usage is being collected.
