| | + | The change log contains a detailed summary of the changes made for each new release of QuantaStor. Each change made to QuantaStor is tracked with an engineering ticket number in the form '''[QSTOR-NNNN]'''. This information is provided so that if you're working with OSNexus support you can track the availability of a given product feature add, improvement, or maintenance fix to a specific release. For information on how to upgrade your storage system please see the [[QuantaStor Upgrade Guide|Upgrade Guide]]. |

| | == Versioning System == | | == Versioning System == |
| − | QuantaStor version numbers have four (4) parts to them. A major number (M), minor number (N), maintenance update number (U) and build number (B) of the form M.N.U.B such as 3.13.2.6490. QuantaStor upgrades go directly from whatever version you are running to the latest version with no interim steps so for example if you are at v3.11 you will upgrade directly to the latest 3.x version which may be v3.18. | + | QuantaStor version numbers consist of four (4) parts. A major number (M), minor number (N), maintenance update number (U) and build number (B) of the form M.N.U.B such as 6.0.2.006. |
| | | | |
| − | ==== Major Version Number ====
| + | QuantaStor upgrades go directly from whatever version you are running to the latest version, with no interim steps so for example if you are at v6.0.1 you will upgrade directly to the latest version which may be v6.1.2 |
| − | The major release number rarely increments because it typically represents a upgrade of the underlying Linux distro. QuantaStor v3 is built on top of Ubuntu Server 12.04.5 and QuantaStor v4 will be built on top of Ubuntu Server 14.04.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | ==== Minor Version Number ==== | + | == Product Update Types == |
| − | The minor version number increments with each minor product update release of QuantaStor which comes out every 2 - 4 months. Releases typically include a combination of new features and some maintenance fixes. Most releases can be applied without a reboot and zero downtime as they rarely include driver changes. If a release does require a reboot we mark it specially with a large tag "REBOOT REQUIRED" so that you can find an appropriate maintenance window in which to apply the upgrade. In general, reboots are only required when the qstortarget package has been upgraded. So if you see that a new version of that package is available know that a reboot will be required to complete the upgrade.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | ==== Maintenance Update ==== | + | ==== Major Updates (X.y.z) ==== |
| − | If the release includes maintenance version number like 3.13.'''1''' or 3.13.'''2''' it represents a update to address one or more support tickets. These updates generally do not contain new features, only fixes to address specific issues. Maintenance releases generally ship once a month. | + | If the first digit in the version number has changed this indicates a major product release such as QuantaStor v5 to QuantaStor v6. Major releases generally come with a new underlying Linux platform as the basis. For example, the standard ISO install for QuantaStor v5 is based on Ubuntu 18.04 whereas QuantaStor v6 is based on Ubuntu 20.04. Major product releases generally include new features and maintenance updates and are supported on multiple underlying Linux platforms. For example, QuantaStor v6 is available as an upgrade on Ubuntu 18.04 and Ubuntu 20.04 based systems as well as RHEL and RHEL derivative platforms. Platform upgrades to move systems forward (eg 18.04 to 20.04) are made generally available in the first feature update release, such as QuantaStor 6.1. |
| | | | |
| − | ==== Build Number ==== | + | ==== Feature Updates (x.Y.z) ==== |
| − | The build number can be largely ignored, it simply increments with each commit that is made to the source tree.
| + | If the second digit in the version number has changed this indicates a feature release such as 6.'''1''' going to 6.'''2'''. Feature releases add new product features as well as a maintenance updates. No additional licensing is required to access any new features that added but note that QuantaStor licenses do not include licenses for 3rd party products and services that may integrate with QuantaStor. |
| | | | |
| − | == v3.16.0.9088 (October 14th 2015) KERNEL UPGRADE AVAILABLE == | + | ==== Maintenance Updates (x.y.Z) ==== |
| | + | If the third digit of the version number has changed this such as 6.0.'''2''' or 6.0.'''3''' it represents a maintenance update to address one or more support tickets. These updates generally do not contain new features, only fixes to address specific issues. Maintenance releases generally ship every 4 to 8 weeks. All maintenance "aka hot-fix" releases are provided against the current stable release so upgrading to the latest QuantaStor version is generally required to apply them. |

| + | The build number and corresponding build reference hash can be largely ignored. The build number simply increments with each commit that is made to the source tree. The hash is provided to make it easier for OSNEXUS support and engineering to quickly confirm difference between your current running release and any more modern release. |

| + | |
| − | ** When provisioning Gluster Volumes where the replica or disperse count does not divide evenly into the number of appliances which the volume spans. For example, with 6 appliances and 12 pools and a disperse count of 5, the number of bricks required to evenly disperse the data is 60 with 5 bricks per brick set. QuantaStor now does this smart provisioning (LCM+round-robin) so that the replication/disperse count no longer needs to evenly divide into the storage pool count.
| + | |

The change log contains a detailed summary of the changes made for each new release of QuantaStor. Each change made to QuantaStor is tracked with an engineering ticket number in the form [QSTOR-NNNN]. This information is provided so that if you're working with OSNexus support you can track the availability of a given product feature add, improvement, or maintenance fix to a specific release. For information on how to upgrade your storage system please see the Upgrade Guide.
QuantaStor version numbers consist of four (4) parts. A major number (M), minor number (N), maintenance update number (U) and build number (B) of the form M.N.U.B such as 6.0.2.006.
QuantaStor upgrades go directly from whatever version you are running to the latest version, with no interim steps so for example if you are at v6.0.1 you will upgrade directly to the latest version which may be v6.1.2
If the first digit in the version number has changed this indicates a major product release such as QuantaStor v5 to QuantaStor v6. Major releases generally come with a new underlying Linux platform as the basis. For example, the standard ISO install for QuantaStor v5 is based on Ubuntu 18.04 whereas QuantaStor v6 is based on Ubuntu 20.04. Major product releases generally include new features and maintenance updates and are supported on multiple underlying Linux platforms. For example, QuantaStor v6 is available as an upgrade on Ubuntu 18.04 and Ubuntu 20.04 based systems as well as RHEL and RHEL derivative platforms. Platform upgrades to move systems forward (eg 18.04 to 20.04) are made generally available in the first feature update release, such as QuantaStor 6.1.
If the second digit in the version number has changed this indicates a feature release such as 6.1 going to 6.2. Feature releases add new product features as well as a maintenance updates. No additional licensing is required to access any new features that added but note that QuantaStor licenses do not include licenses for 3rd party products and services that may integrate with QuantaStor.
If the third digit of the version number has changed this such as 6.0.2 or 6.0.3 it represents a maintenance update to address one or more support tickets. These updates generally do not contain new features, only fixes to address specific issues. Maintenance releases generally ship every 4 to 8 weeks. All maintenance "aka hot-fix" releases are provided against the current stable release so upgrading to the latest QuantaStor version is generally required to apply them.
The build number and corresponding build reference hash can be largely ignored. The build number simply increments with each commit that is made to the source tree. The hash is provided to make it easier for OSNEXUS support and engineering to quickly confirm difference between your current running release and any more modern release.
NOTE: Archived older versions of QuantaStor ISO install media and CLI tools can be found here.
