2.0.0


Platform Changes


Abiquo 2.0 includes the following new features:

...

  • Opscode Chef support:   Integration with  Opscode   Chef allows users to individually customize virtual machines at deployment time. Abiquo presents available Chef "recipe" options, and then passes the selected machine configuration to the Chef server for seamless customization to the user's exact requirements – all from within the Abiquo GUI.
  • Pricing model:   Each tenant can be assigned a pricing model that specifies the cost of the each virtual resource being consumed.  The multi-currency pricing models are used for charge-back, show-back and show-forward, allowing users to be fully informed and optionally notified of the cost of each virtual appliance before it is deployed.
  • NetApp Multistore support: The ability to have Abiquo managed tiered pools and self service storage using NetApp FAS arrays running in Multistore mode.
  • Cisco UCS service profiles: Service profile templates enable you to create a large number of similar service profiles. With a service profile template, you can quickly create several service profiles with the same basic parameters, such as the number of vNICs and vHBAs, and with identity information drawn from the same pools.  
  • VMware vSphere 5 support: The ability for Abiquo to add and utilize vSphere 5 infrastructure components (ESXi 5 hosts, vCenter Server 5 and DVS).
  • Citrix XenServer 6 support: The ability to add XenServer hosts to Abiquo and deploy virtual machines to them.
  • Updated Infrastructure, Virtual App and Virtual Image API: Complete set of RESTful API resources to define, create and deploy vApps.
  • Multi-virtual disk support for VMware vSphere:  This functionality allows Abiquo to include any type of vSphere supported storage type (including FC, FCoE, NFS, iSCSI) and use them to provision virtual disks.  In addition, Abiquo can now attach two or more virtual disks per VM.
  • Networking enhancements:   Abiquo now offers four types of networks in virtual datacenters: 
    • Public networks with Internet addressable public IP addresses.
    • External networks assigned to an enterprise and used in one or more virtual datacenters, with the IP addresses are allocated by Abiquo.
    • Unmanaged networks are like external networks but with addresses allocated from outside Abiquo (for example, the corporate DHCP server)
    • Private networks with private IP addresses restricted to one virtual datacenter (VDC).
  • In addition, Abiquo now supports the ability to reconfigure (add/delete) vNICs by powering off VM (VM can stay deployed)

Summary

3864The circular virtual machines chart in Datacenter view was not shown if running VMs = total VMs.
4378

When HA is executed, if there are no suitable physical machines to move VMs to, the physical machine remains in state HA_IN_PROGRESS and cannot be re-enabled.

4391Incorrect check when editing an enterprise Hard Disk hard limit. This fix ensures that the platform checks the Hard Disk used in the enterprise, not the total Hard Disk in use.
4416Events list and other views are retrieving all records during pagination. This fix improves performance of the API and the GUI. For example, in Home view (Events) and Events view, the list will render faster because the platform will only retrieve the requested page
4422Instances of persistent VMs always get LUN-0 as the source disk. This fix ensures that the correct disk is always copied when creating an instance of a persistent VM
4439When a rack is HA enabled, the Nodecollector process, to check the hypervisors, is running twice. This fix improves performance and stability.
