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

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

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

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)

9359

DESTROY after MOVE. Reused session should check that the host is added to vCenter

9362

Error trying to delete a VApp which contains a VM in the UNKNOWN state with resources allocated

9369

Shared datastores in different datastore tiers

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)

9599

Show disk UUID in UI

9441

Allow end user to define the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) in the UI and the API.

• The user can define the "fqdn" attribute when creating a VM through the API. Before deployment, the user can edit the VM and enter or modify the FQDN through the UI and API.

• Abiquo checks that the user has entered a valid FQDN

• Abiquo sets the FQDN in the virtual machine using guest customizations (if properties are set on ESXi) or cloud init (supported hypervisors/templates via metadata)

• If Abiquo is automatically generating the hostname with guest tools, Abiquo can automatically generate the domain name. For the hostname Abiquo uses the automatically generated hostname, and for the domain, it uses the "dnsSuffix" attribute of the virtual machine networks. If the virtual machine is not connected to any networks, then Abiquo uses the "dnsSuffix" from the VDC's default VLAN. If no "dnsSuffix" is found, then Abiquo sets the 'localdomain' domain name

• Abiquo does not validate that the cloud init or guest tools process has successfully configured the FQDN in the virtual machine

• When the user captures a VM with guest tools, Abiquo tries to import the FQDN. If only a hostname is found, Abiquo will automatically add the domain to the hostname

9298

UI doesn't accept special characters like 'Ñ' or 'Ç' in the user e-mail field

Capture not working when using NSX

4.0.1

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

9531

Representation error in monitoring-view. Customer ticket: 330

Fixed in another view in 3.10.5

9619

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

9809

Avamar - Create a background job to remove backup clients without backups or with expired backups

9808

Group of improvements for Backup:

• Display backup expiration date in the list of backups for a VM

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

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

9630

Review reconnection for streaming client

9944

Send initial guest password by SMS.

• The user who is the owner of the VM must have an email and/or phone number to receive the password by email or SMS. A warning event is generated for missing email and/or phone number

• The platform will send the password by email and/or SMS if these options are enabled with new Configuration view properties in the Security section. See Configuration View#Security

  • Guest password email enabled - false by default

  • Guest password SMS gateway - empty (disabled) by default

• For a deployed VM, the user who created the VM can display a popup with the guest initial password by clicking the key button on the VM control panel.

  • New UI property "client.virtualmachine.guestinitialpassword.enabled" to control the display of the key button. By default, this property is set to "true". To change it, edit "client-config-custom.json", add the property and set to "false". See Configure Abiquo UI
