Improvements
Key | Summary |
---|---|
6016 | (KVM) Hypervisor plugin support for core count on NUMA CPU architecture. Our KVM plugin should compute CPUs as "CPU socket(s)" * "NUMA cell(s)" * "Cores x socket(s). Fix requires KVM upgrade |
7867 | Add a Documentation button to the top menu (next to Events) |
7868 | Change the format of "Add a Layer" in the Virtual Appliance section from icon to button |

7886 | Translate event time to browser locale |
7893 | Open Apps library to private / public tab that has locations registered |
7909 | Improvements to VSM for improved public cloud performance with different cloud provider credentials |
Resolved Issues
Key | Summary |
|
---|---|---|
7026 | HA fails for persistent VMs due to an invalid requirement of a shared datastore that Abiquo does not use for persistent VMs |
|
7633 | Tab key does not work properly when filling in forms |
|
7769 | Fields collapsed in Edit firewalls dialog for Inbound/Outbound fields | |
7873 | Edit enterprise not working if pricing tab has not been displayed |
|
7874 | Apps Library Private / Public tabs show same info if a public cloud region does not exist |
|
7875 | Searching for public cloud templates, after clicking on a page and then repeating the search, the user sees the wrong page |
|
7876 | Cannot capture a VM if the first disk on the controller is a data disk. Fixed so you can now capture the virtual machine and apply basic reconfigures (CPU/RAM). BUT it is not possible to modify the storage devices |
|
7880 | GEN 13 error if Azure credentials do not have a Subscription ID |
|
7882 | Fix trace after failed deploy to include Virtual Machine ID |
|
7883 | Azure networking only recognizes the default subnet. Fixed so that you can now create multiple subnets. See Microsoft Azure Integration |
|
7890 | HTML5 UI client does not work when Google Maps library is not reachable (because there is no Internet conection). Fixed to include new client-config.json properties. See Abiquo 3.2 patch version upgrade |
|
7902 | When capturing VMs on ESX, Ethernet drivers of NICs could be changed. Now Abiquo will use the driver of the first NIC (ordered by sequence) to create all the NICs in the captured template |
|
7913 | Error on Create user form |
|
7915 | Large template upload returns 401 unauthorized error | |
7916 | Hypervisor MOVE of imported VM is not fully processed. Retrieved and captured VMs can be duplicated in Abiquo |
|
7918 | A MOVE event is detected for a VM between public cloud regions with the same credentials. This is because VMs for all regions in the same provider are registered for each region |
3.2.3
Resolved Issues
Key | Summary |
---|---|
7614 | Close button for VNC Remote Access (eye icon) appears in top left-hand corner instead of top-right of window |
7941 | Azure reconfigure of hardware fails since networking feature was added due to a bug in the Azure API documentation |
7944 | Improve encryption of credentials |
7947 | Azure storage account names are not unique and Azure requires unique names as identifiers. Fixed by naming the storage account with a unique code generated from the subscription ID and region, with a configurable prefix for identifying the account in the Azure portal |
7949 | Azure create virtual datacenter fails if no network exists |
7954 | Some fields of restore event for virtual machine backup are not correct. The backup date should be shown instead of the restore date |
7957 | Extra restore events are triggered when a backup is restored |
3.2.4
Changes in Abiquo 3.2.4
Usability Improvements and UI Configuration Changes.
See Usability Improvements in Abiquo 3.2 for full details of all the improvements mentioned in these release notes.
New client property to control reset password link
In Abiquo 3.2.4 there is a new client configuration property to control the display of the password recovery¡ link on the login screen. This property is mandatory in the client-config.json file.
You must add the following client reset password link property to Abiquo 3.2.4 or the UI will not function properly. Remember to check your JSON file format: you must add a comma after each property, except for the last one. If you make an error in the file format, the UI will not load.
Edit /var/www/html/ui/config/client-config.json. Go to the section where the other client properties can be found.
To hide the reset password link, set the property to false.
|
A sample configuration file with these properties included is available on the Abiquo Server at the following location
|
Improvements
Key | Summary |
---|---|
7958 | After disabling "Allow password reset" option in Configuration view, the "Forgot your password?" link still shows on the login screen. You must set the new "client.password.recovery" parameter in client-config.json. When this property is true, the link is shown, and by default the Configuration option to "Allow password reset" is disabled. See Configure Abiquo UI |
Resolved Issues
Key | Summary |
---|---|
7959 | Protect XSS on popup dialog |
7964 | Missing event VIRTUAL_MACHINE_ALLOCATE_NICS when a new virtual machine is deployed |
7978 | Limits should not apply in HA events. In previous versions, if deployed resources are close to hard limits, HA VM moves might fail due to hard limit exceeded error |
3.2.5
Improvements
Key | Summary |
---|---|
8154 | Allow consecutive restore for a backup. This means that after a user requests a restore and it completes, the integration can set a status of "success" or "failed" and the Restore request link will be activated again, so the user can request the restore again |
8155 | Change backup time zone from +XXXX format to a dropdown to make it more understandable |
Resolved Issues
Key | Summary |
---|---|
8146 | License check has occasional performance issues |
8152 | Double clicking to enter vApp from VDC screen, the VApp view does not refresh until periodic UI refresh occurs |
