3.10.2
Improvements
Key | Summary |
---|---|
8721 | Allow change of disk controller defaults per host plugin. Added properties in format abiquo.pluginmetadata.{HV}.diskControllers, which is a list of comma separated values per plugin, and the default is the first element in the list. Errors in the properties will prevent the plugin from loading. This is an API property that must have the same values in all abiquo.properties files on the platform. The values are not case sensitive and possible disk controllers are SCSI, IDE, VIRTIO |
9233 | Allow change of compatible and base disk format from host plugin metadata. Added properties in the format abiquo.pluginmetadata.{HV}.compatibleDiskFormatTypes, which is a list of comma separated values per plugin, and abiquo.pluginmetadata.{pluginTypeLowerCase}.baseDiskFormatType, which is a single value per plugin that must be present in the previous list. Errors in the properties will prevent the plugin from loading. These are API properties that must have the same values in all abiquo.properties files on the platform. The values are not case sensitive and possible disk formats are documented in the Template Compatibility Table |
9235 | Single step for vmdkStreamOptimize to vmdkSparse conversion |
...
Resolved Issues
Key | Summary |
---|---|
9129 | User Scopes tab and template scopes tab should be restricted by user scope. If the administrator has a limited scope, they can only manage their own scope. If the administrator has the Allow user to switch enterprise privilege and an unlimited scope (global scope or all enteprises), they can manage all scopes. When editing templates, allow administrator to edit a shared template with Allow user to switch enterprise privilege (with no need for Manage scopes privilege) and to save the template if the administrator scope is greater than or equal to the template scope. However, for both user scopes and templates, administrators with all related privileges but without unlimited scope will only be able to manage their own scope, not lesser scopes |
9133 | Hyper-V: retrieve hypervisor fails if there are volumes not mapped to a drive letter. Abiquo will now ignore these volumes and log them |
9199 | Remote console does not work from infrastructure view |
9202 | Unexpected error when capturing an imported VM that has been VMotioned |
9207 | Error getting compatible tiers when any datastores on a machine are not assigned to a tier |
9214 | Scheduled action plan does not take into account if the VM is protected |
9219 | OpenID: Login process may return error message. For Internet Explorer cookies, in server.xml on Abiquo Tomcat, the <Host> section should contain an <Alias> section with the domain of the web server (where users access the UI). Default Java session timeout was changed to 30 minutes to ensure user delays during OpenID login will not result in errors. |
9222 | API won't start if there are any action plan schedules with end time in the past and without start times |
9223 | In Internet Explorer 11, popups that open over other popups are not working properly |
9225 | Search for Azure ARM templates by ID does not validate ID format, leading to an unexpected error. The template ID format should be {region}/{provider}/{name}/{version} |
9226 | In Internet Explorer 11, popups are full screen width |
9227 | Network synchronize button is shown for non-public providers, where synchronization is not appropriate |
9238 | Not possible to create/edit a VM with a template from another enterprise through the API, even with the correct privileges and scope |
9242 | Prevent static noVNC tokens |
9251 | Avoid ''reconfigVM_Task'' without any VirtualMachineConfigSpec change |

9351 | VMs with CDROMs using Client Device as Device Type can have the same ISO attached |
9354 | Eager zero thick provisioning. Force use of eager zero thick provisioning if these properties are set to "true" on the remote services server: com.abiquo.esxi.experimental.eagerzero.copy (for copied disks) and com.abiquo.esxi.experimental.eagerzero.new (for new empty disks) |

Key | Summary | Other versions |
---|---|---|
8950 | In VSM synchronization, take NICs into account to detect changes in VM definitions | v4.0 |
9412 | Add Windows Server 2016 OS Type for templates. Will not fix because this is not yet included in the CIM standard. Use osType: WINDOWS, osVersion: 9 Server. When configuring Windows 2016 from the web client, the vSphere API uses ''windows9Server64Guest'' |
9445 | Enforce disk UUID at VM level. Present disk UUID as SCSI serial number in the guest OS. Set Remote Services property com.abiquo.esxi.disk.enableuuid=true (also on Monolithic server) | v4.01 |

9617 | Capture not working when using NSX | 4.0.1 |
...
3.10.6
Improvements
Key | Summary | Other versions |
---|---|---|
9640 | Set virtual machine memory reservation. Administrators can set the percentage of swap to set with com.abiquo.esxi.experimental.memory.allocation and if the platform should avoid swap with com.abiquo.esxi.experimental.avoidvmxswap. The defaults are 0 and false respectively |
9650 | Prevent user from accessing a virtual machine before the guest customization applies the password. See Generate a random password at VM deploy. For Windows templates, set the User (API loginUser) to "Administrator". In order to deploy a virtual machine, you must set this attribute if the wait for guest customizations is configured |
9655 | Add a tooltip to the Add template button |
9658 | Allow restriction of the available disk controllers through the user interface. See Display custom list of controllers when adding virtual disk to VM |
9662 | Better manage concurrency errors. Use another HTTP status code and API error to indicate ObjectOptimisticLockingFailureException (StaleObjectStateException). Use Status code 503 and add API Error DB-0 - "Another request has updated this entity. Try again in a few moments" |
9667 | Add VM reference for each alarm in alert email |
9669 | Improve management of virtual machine rollback from lost connection. To avoid odd situations such as an occasional duplicated MAC address, when a deploy generates a bad rollback (for example because the connection to the host is lost), and an orphan VM remains in vCenter, Abiquo will not free the machine. It will wait until the VSM detects the machine and synchronizes it with the real state. This will prevent the user from eliminating the undeployed machine in Abiquo and reusing the MAC address for another machine. |
9512 | Implement storage allocation rule for load level of hypervisor datastores at the datastore, datastore tier or datacenter level. The most specific rule will be used in each case. Allocation Rules#Storage load level rules and API Changelog v3.10#Abiquo API 3.10.6 Changelog |
Resolved Issues
Key | Summary | Other versions |

9531 | Representation error in monitoring-view. Customer ticket: 330 | Fixed in another view in 3.10.5 |
9619 | Cannot copy data from grids in IE 11 |
9624 | Virtual Appliances are not showing the correct VMs after changing between general views |
9653 | Add a message on restore backup tab. In 3.10.6, the message is displayed if the client system property (client-config-default.json) "client.backup.restore.onlypoweredoffvm" is true and the VM is not powered off. With the same condition, the "restore" button will be disabled: Note that the behavior is different in 3.10.5 |
9654 | VM list when creating alarm not updated if you switch vApp using lateral menu |
9663 | User can't see scheduler error due to private network running out of IPs |
9665 | Show more details when M module cannot get resources from API |
9666 | A restore result is created for a VM that is not allocated with the status of IN PROGRESS forever |

3.10.7
Improvements
Key | Summary |
---|---|
9816 | FQDN - DNS suffix validation needed for configuration of default private network |
9814 | Add FQDN to the email template for autogenerated guest password. See Configure Email Templates#Guest password emails |
9809 | Avamar - Create a background job to remove backup clients without backups or with expired backups |
9808 | Group of improvements for Backup:
|
9774 | On Backup tab, Latest backups page, the Name column does not display all information |
9756 | Default URL to purchase license is now set to "///www.abiquo.com/license". You can edit this value in Configuration View |
9746 | FQDN - validation is needed when setting DNS suffix of networks |
9738 | Add Phone number into user information, and include in AD import. The platform does not validate the phone number. To request that the platform retrieve the phone number from OpenID, edit abiquo.properties and add "phone" to "abiquo.openid.client.scopes". The platform will retrieve the phone number when users log in after the upgrade |
9726 | Block kinton.UpdateAccounting from running more than once in parallel |
9719 | Avamar - On replica backups restore can't be requested |
9718 | Avamar - Restore a VM from a not-deployed VM |
9716 | VNC password can't be clear. Use tool during upgrade process |
9715 | Role mapping from Abiquo to multiple AD groups. See Manage Roles. After performing the upgrade, the administrator should log in and map additional roles as required. When users log in, the platform will match external roles to Abiquo roles. Use the API methods for roles to manage AD roles. The API methods and data entities for LDAP roles are now deprecated |
9712 | Allow delete of VMs with no disks/NICs |
9669 | Manage wrong rollback in another way |
9721 | Exclude customer network ranges from use in private networks in datacenters. See Excluded networks and ExcludedNetworkResource |
9713 | Add capacity control at cluster level. See Allocation Rules#Compute load level rules and AllocationRulesResource |

9804 | Bad ostype mappings when using ostype *_64 and guests only supported in 5.5+. These templates are now supported by the standard format of osType, See Modify a Template for Hypervisor#Operating system and OS version |
9776 | After an unsuccessful deploy, forceVirtualMachineDefinitionSync may fail if VM becomes unsubscribed |
9761 | API fails on FQDN change when VM is deployed. Only allow changes from within the VM |
9743 | CostCode should be added to CPU/HD resources account to optimize database queries |
