Version 2.1.0 (June 2015)
Version 2.1.0 added support for newer versions of IBM storage systems.
Details of newly supported storage systems appear in . In addition, version 2.1.0 introduced the enhancements and resolved the issues, as listed below.
| Ticket ID | Description |
|---|---|
| SCB-181 | Enhancement: Support for RHEL 6.6. |
| SCB-467 | Enhancement: Support for IBM® Real-time Compression, as introduced in the XIV® microcode version 11.6. This includes creation of storage services with data compression in Spectrum Control, presenting only compatible storage pools for volume creation in vWC and filtering datastores according to storage profiles in VASA 1.0. |
| SCB-587 | Enhancement: Introduction of the stricter password reuse policy by preventing the user to submit a new password that is the same as any of the prior passwords for that account. |
| SCB-605 | Enhancement: Improvements in configuration procedure for storage services. This includes cancellation of the 'Any' option for space efficiency and encryption, allowing more flexible storage resource attachment. |
| SCB-31 | Fixed: Spectrum Control does not generate an error message, when a storage service with a certain capability is attached to a storage array, which does not support the required capability. |
| SCB-35 | Fixed: VASA 1 trusted certificates cannot be revoked, using the Spectrum Control interface. |
| SCB-392 | Fixed: VMware vSphere Web Client fails to initialize in the vSphere 6 environment, displaying the following error message: Error: Unable to load resource module from /ibmNgcVSpeherePlugin-ui/locales/ibmNgcVSpeherePlugin-ui-en_US.swf. This may occur if a vCenter server, connected to Spectrum Control, was offline during the Spectrum Control upgrade. To ensure proper vWC initialization, remove the server from Spectrum Control, and reconnect it after the upgrade is finished. |
| SCB-569 | Fixed: XIV and Spectrum
Accelerate storage systems can be differentiated in VMware VASA 1.0 only using the UUID field under . The XIV storage system UUID includes the
900 code, and Spectrum Accelerate includes either 104 or
204code. |
| SCB-593 | Fixed: Both local and directory-server users are able to connect to Spectrum Control. |
