4.2.2

Improvements

10224

Sort and filter NAT rules

10218

VMs with multiple IPs are registered multiple times in the load balancers. When a VM has multiple IPs, the VM should still only be added once to the pool.

10205

Create SNAT independently of DNAT. The ''snat'' attribute denotes if the NAT rule is SNAT or DNAT (no DNAT+SNAT). SNAT rules cannot specify ports or protocol, and the API returns the NAT IP with rel ''translated'' and the private ip with rel ''original''. The queryParam ''snat'' has been added to filter only "snat" or "dnat" when retrieving NAT rule.

10203

Forgot password request with blocked user is not working. Support ticket 5340

10159

NSX-NAT: Select NAT IP to use (default SNAT) in virtual datacenter creation. Add a NAT IP link in the POST request to create a VDC. It should have a "rel" value of "ip" and a "href" value that links to the IP in hardware ('api/cloud/locations/X/devices/Y/natnetworks/Z/ips/A')

10151

vCloud Director: Improve exception messages

10139

Connection reuse in OracleVM plugin to improve performance

10131

Add default values for Load Balancer health check interval - timeout -attempts. Administrators should define default values with UI properties in client_config_custom.json

  • "config.loadbalancerhealthcheck.default.interval" : "",

  • "config.loadbalancerhealthcheck.default.timeout" : "",

  • "config.loadbalancerhealthcheck.default.attempts" : "",

10117

Enable port ranges in NSX firewalls

10114

Allow configuration of default sender of mail from infrastructure. If the checkbox to "Append my email address to the message" is not checked, the sender is taken from this Abiquo property "abiquo.server.mail.user".

10106

Validate that there is only one SNAT rule configured for a virtual machine. Considerations when upgrading from 4.2.1: to prevent errors from any existing VMs that break this validation, it will only be triggered when editing a NAT rule or adding a new NAT rule. So users can remove NAT rules from VMs with 2 x SNAT rules, and reconfigure other elements of the VM. They cannot edit or add another SNAT rule to a VM with 2 x SNAT rules.

10102

NAT IPs purchased should appear on dashboard

10101

NSX-NAT: Load balancer should get only IPs from NAT networks. New client property can be added to client-config-custom.json to override load balancer addresses type. Default value is an empty array (config.loadbalanceraddressestype: []). Values accepted: "PRIVATE","PUBLIC","PRIVATE_AND_PUBLIC","NATIP","PRIVATE_AND_NATIP"

10098

NSX-NAT: Default NAT IP assigned to a VDC cannot be removed from the VDC. Add an attribute to the NAT IP to mark it as default in the VDC

10097

Duplicated SNAT rules in VDC

10093

Add NAT rule information to VM information view (Network tab on VM control panel)

10078

Consider other protocols in the NAT rules, which are currently only TCP

10074

Clone NAT rules, enabling user to work with the same NAT IP but a different original IP

10068

Quarantine NAT IPs

10063

Load Balancer requires a private address. Load balancers should not require a subnet unless it is mandatory in the provider

9521

Include virtual machine name in all configure logs. Improvement to resolution in Abiquo-4.0.1

9215

Datastore tiers tab in Infrastructure view only shows 1 physical machine for shared datastores

8758

Firewall: If an error occurs adding a rule, old rules are deleted

Resolved Issues



10255

MOVE fails to process if DS does not exist in destination host

10246

Failure to roll back any register (update FW, LB or NAT) if not changing IPs

10226

Enable configuration of load balancer acceleration. Add Abiquo property abiquo.nsx.load-balancer-acceleration and set to "true" to configure.

10222

User interface - Load balancer address type does not behave as defined by the plugin constraints

10221

Add VDC price to VApp price pop-up

10220

10194

10193

NSX-NAT – Cannot create SNAT rules after load balancer is using a NAT IP

10170

NSX-NAT – Internal server error deleting a load balancer with NAT IP

10158

Duplicated load balancer addresses with the same endpoint. New queryParam uniqueendpoint (true or false) in request to devices/X/loadbalancers/addresses

10157

NSX-NAT – should not use public load balancer addresses. Removed property ''abiquo.nsx.edge.public-network-cidr'' from this integration.

10155

Send guest password by SMS doesn't work with whitespace in the number

10154

Backups marked as failed due to session expiration

10153

API error response when creating 2 alarms on one VM at the same time

10152

VM definition will not sync if hostname is less than 3 characters. VM spins forever in deployed state. Support ticket: 5285. In Abiquo we will always store a complete FQDN.
If just a hostname arrives from the hypervisor and there is no current value stored in the database, the sync will try to extract the domain name to complete the hostname from the network used as gateway by the VM, or by searching in the other VLANs of the VM or using "localdomain" as the default value.

10150

User interface – Update "About" section to "2018" copyright

10147

User interface – NSX-NAT: Load balancer IP selection is broken

NSX-NAT – Cannot reuse port after deleting a NAT rule in the same operation. Now it is possible to reuse a port in the same operation (save operation is not mandatory) and cannot add multiple NAT rules with the same ports in the same operation (controlled in UI)

10092

Remove restriction on NAT rule destination port. We should allow the same NAT IP to be used on more than one VM, either with the same port redirected or with different ports.

10084

NSX-NAT – Not possible to sort IPs by any column

10029

Action plan tree display – VM name disappears when opening action plan list.

This is a CSS issue in the theme that can be fixed manually.

Edit the /theme/CLIENT_THEME/css/theme.css

Add these lines:

/* Set color to an open VM in the tree */
.virtual-appliance-control-list a .main-menu-section-link-active {
color: #051861; /* Or desired color */
}

/* Set color to a selected Action Plan */
.virtual-appliance-control-list .ab-topiclist-tree .ab-active a {
color: #FFFFFF; /* Or desired color */
}

10281

AMQP consumers fail to ack messages after reconnect (no more messages are consumed)
