High Availability Failover

• Added a check when creating an HA Failover Group on a Pool that has Storage Volumes with Active FC client connections. [ QSTOR-6248 ]
• Added logic to make Manual HA Failover operations more robust in situations where network communication could be interrupted. This addresses issues where the relinquishing node may fail to export the storage pool completely before the new active node forces ownership to bring the client access online. [ QSTOR-6564 ]
• Added logic to the HA failover Group where the Deactivated state ensures the HA Interface and Storage Pool remain pinned to the specific node where the HA group is located. This allows work to be performed during maintenance windows where reboot, cabling, networking or other infrastructure and/or hardware changes may be required, without concern of an automatic failover event being trigger. Manual Failover of the HA Failover Group are still allowed between nodes while in a deactivated state. Re-Activating the HA Failover group once maintenance work is completed will re-enable the automatic failover logic and associated policies. [ QSTOR-6512 ]

• Added logic to clear and repair error conditions with HA Group resources that can be caused by a user elsewhere on the network accidentally reusing the IP Address that is already assigned to the HA VIF. If multiple repair attempts fail because the IP Address is still in use outside of the QuantaStor appliances, an Alert will be raised on the QuantaStor informing administrative action is required. [ QSTOR-3801 ]
• Fixed an issue that could sometimes occur with the HA virtual interface network access guards during an HA Failover while the pool and associated storage Volumes and network shares are not available. [ QSTOR-6599 ]
• Fixed an issue where the site cluster services version would not appear immediately after creating a site cluster. [ QSTOR-6472 ]
• Fixed an issue with the Storage Pool right-click Context menu's updating with the correct menu options when a HA failover group is removed/added. [ QSTOR-5753 ]
• Fixed: After creating an HA Failover Group on a Storage Pool, the Storage Pool Grow; Add/remove Cache Device and Add/Remove Spare dialogs will now immediately update their available disk lists to include only shared drives available to both nodes. Previously a WebUI refresh was required. [ QSTOR-5753 ]
• Fixed: removing the last HA VIF in a HA Failover Group now correctly transitions the HA Failover group into deactivated mode, disabling any automatic failover policies. [ QSTOR-1191 ]
• Improved error messaging for corner cases when creating Site Cluster Heartbeat rings. [ QSTOR-6458 ]
• Updated the HA Failover ALUA state transitions to occur slightly earlier in the failover process. [ QSTOR-6592 ]

• Added filtering to the Bonded Interface create dialog that hides already configured network interfaces from the available selection by default. This helps ensure users do not accidentally re-use the same network interface that is already configured serving management or client access. Support for re-using a configured network interface to create a bonded network interface is still supported by unchecking the 'Hide Configured Ports' option and answering affirmative to the informative pop-up that appears after clicking 'ok'. [ QSTOR-6471 ]
• Changed the default Network Port bonding mode on new deployments to be active-backup. [ QSTOR-6559 ]

• Fixed: Modifying the MTU of a Network Port can now be done without having to force a full restart of the Network port. [ QSTOR-4940 ]
• Fixed: Modifying the MTU of a Bond/VLAN or other Parent port correctly shows the change on the child interfaces. [ QSTOR-4940 ]
• Fixed: Modifying a Network Port under a Virtual interface now correctly restarts the Virtual interface after the change to the parent port. [ QSTOR-4940 ]
• Added a subnet check for Default Gateway IP addresses to ensure that they are accessible from the IP and subnet defined on the interface. [ QSTOR-4940 ]
• Fixed an Issue where HA Virtual Interfaces would not restart if the parent port was modified. [ QSTOR-4940 ]
• Fixed: The Create Virtual Interface and Create VLAN Interface now correctly shows the MTU option field as disabled as they inherit their MTU from their parent port. [ QSTOR-6480 ]
• Fixed: The Modify network Interface Dialog now correctly shows the MTU option field as disabled for Interface types such as VLAN and Virtual interface that can only inherit their MTU from their parent port. all MTU changes should occur at the Bonded or Physical Port parent level. [ QSTOR-6501 ]
• Fixed: Virtual Interfaces are automatically restarted after any modification of a Bonded, VLAN or Physical Network Port. [ QSTOR-6509 ]

Web Manager

• Added a pop-up clarifying the ZFS property sync=disabled is not recommended for production use when Creating or Modifying a Storage Volume, Network Share or Storage Pool with sync set to disabled.
