| | + | 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 4.1.1.1050. 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 v3.16 you will upgrade directly to the latest version which may be v4.1. | + | 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 |
| − | QuantaStor v4.x is the current Major release version. | + | |
| | | | |
| − | Upgrading from QuantaStor 3.x releases can be done inline with minimal downtime and a schedule work window to reboot for any new Kernel and driver updates.
| + | == Product Update Types == |
| | | | |
| − | Legacy upgrades from QuantaStor 2.x releases would require exporting any Storage Pools, reloading the OS with QuantaStor 4.x install media, and then importing the storage pools and performing a restore of the configuration database using the [[Storage System Recovery Manager Dialog]]
| + | ==== Major Updates (X.y.z) ==== |
| | + | 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. |
| | | | |
| − | ==== Minor Version Number ==== | + | ==== Feature Updates (x.Y.z) ==== |
| − | 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.
| + | 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. |
| | | | |
| − | ==== Maintenance Update ==== | + | ==== Maintenance Updates (x.y.Z) ==== |
| − | If the release includes maintenance version number like 4.1.'''1''' or 4.1.'''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 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. |
| | | | |
| − | ==== Build Number ==== | + | ==== Build Number (x.y.z.BBB) ==== |
| − | The build number can be largely ignored, it simply increments with each commit that is made to the source tree. | + | 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. |

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * Added Consistency groups for Remote Replication. Replication Schedules now quickly take the snapshots for all Volumes or Network Shares in the schedule at the same point in time and are transferred serially in a sequential manner for best performance.
| + | |
| − | * Fixed an issue where a lock was not placed on a Network Share replication link, this could lead to Remote Replication Schedules containing only Network Shares running in parallel instead of serially.
| + | |
| − | * Fixed conflict between VMware VAAI extended copy feature when there was remote replication for Storage Volumes.
| + | |
| − | * Fixed: QuantaStor will now do more to auto re-create a replica-assoc if it is missing or was removed and there is a good source/target match.

| − | Scale-out File
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * Added support for disperse Gluster Volumes to span the disperse volume over an uneven number of systems that do not match the disperse configuratiobn. Previously for a 4D+1P configuration you would require 5 or 10 systems, now this configuration can be deployed on 5,6,7, or any number of nodes as long as the number of bricks are available to ensure the conditions for the Gluster disperse configuration are met.
| + | |
| − | * Fixed: there was an issue where Gluster tasks would not succeed due to another gluster task or command transaction being in progress, this has been corrected with additional retry logic.
| + | |
| − | * Fixed an issue that would allow removal of a QuantaStor node from the grid while it was still in use serving Gluster Volume access and bricks. If you determine you do have a neew to perform a grid node removal while gluster configuration is present on that node, you can do so via the force flag.
| + | |
| − | * Fixed: Removed disperse configuration options from the WebUI that Gluster does not natively support.
| + | |
| − | | + | |

More information is available via the 'qs help=timezone-list' and 'qs help=timezone-set'
| + | * Fixed: the low boot space warning for kernel upgrades now correctly appears in the Upgrade Manager task failure message. [ QSTOR-10185 ] |
| − | * Removed auto import logic on QuantaStor service startup for Storage Pools that were not local or owned by the Storage System. This corrects a behavior where a storage pool would be imported incorrectly on systems where shared disk access is possible from multiple head nodes. Customers who wish to import foreign Storage Pools from other QuantaStor or for Open-ZFS based pools should continue to use the Pool Import Dialog.
| + | * Fixed an issue where the scst/zfs userspace packages were not being pinned on security updates. [ QSTOR-10185 ] |
| − | * Fixed: qs import-pool command to allow importing of storage pools on a remote grid member.
| + | * Fixed an issue where qstortarget was incorrectly selected during security updates but fails due to existing pinning rules. qstortarget now correctly only gets selected for install on kernel/driver upgrades. [ QSTOR-10185 ] |
| − | * Fixed: qs pool-import now requires the foreign pool name to import a specific storage pool. | + | |
| − | * Fixed an issue where the QuantaStor iSCSI Software Adapter (initiator) would sometimes not automatically login to configured targets on system reboot. | + | |
| − | * Fixed an issue where the QuantaStor iSCSI Software Adapter (initiator) would not immediately scan for remote iSCSI targets on startup. In some cases this would cause a Storage Pool to be slow to import or not complete importing properly until the disks were rescanned and Storage Pool started manually. | + | |
| − | * Fixed qs license-list command output now by default provides verbose license details.
| + | |
| − | * Fixed an issue at system startup that could lead to an alert regarding a problem for discovery of the iSCSI Target service running state.
| + | |
| − | * Fixed a conflict with latest SCST driver and Instant rollback from snapshot feature that would sometimes prevent snapshot rollback of Storage Volumes.
| + | |
| − | * Fixed an issue where deletion of a user created via the QuantaStor Management interfaces would not also remove the corresponding local linux user account.
| + | |
| − | * Fixed an issue that can sometimes occur where a Stop Storage Pool task would not correctly stop an XFS storage Pool.
| + | |
| − | * Fixed an issue that could sometimes occur where a Storage pool resilver would complete, but the failed disk would not be removed automatically.
| + | |
| | | | |
| | Web Manager | | Web Manager |
| | + | * Minor fix to show NA for share-alias space columns. [ QSTOR-10227 ] |
| | + | * Login dialog shown after service restart is complete. [ QSTOR-10007 ] |

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.
