Version 3.1.0 introduced support for new releases of the VMware platforms (vCenter, vWC, vRO, vROps). The additional changes were as follows.

Ticket ID Description
SCB-879 Enhancement: Added the availability capability for a storage service, enabling the use of stretched clusters on IBM SAN Volume Controller systems.
SCB-934 Enhancement: Added the Quality of Service (QoS) capability for the Spectrum Accelerate Family storage services, enabling the use of volumes or storage resources according to predefined service levels.
SCB-2940 Enhancement: Improved handling of VMware virtual volumes (VVols), allowing for multiple VVol-enabled services to reside on a single storage space. Also, a new resource attachment method is used to attach several storage resources from different storage systems to one service.
SCB-2650 Change: Upgraded Django Python Web framework to version 1.8.
SCB-3038 Change: Introduced new methods of server authentication and token storage, using the current VMware SDK tools.
SCB-898 Fixed: IBM Spectrum Virtualize Family products do not support updating storage profile for virtual volumes.
SCB-2750 Fixed: When creating a new volume on a DS8000 storage system immediately deleting another one, the new volume state might appear as "Pending deletion".
SCB-3046 Fixed: A cloned virtual volume is displayed as a snapshot VVol.
SCB-3146 Fixed: When hot cloning a VM with a snapshot from a VVol-based datastore on a host to another datastore on a different host, may cause the operating system on the destination datastore to fail.
SCB-3184 Fixed: Spectrum Control Base UI allows attaching multiple storage resources from the same storage system to a VVol-based service, although only a single pool attachment is currently supported.
SCB-3232 Fixed: Cloning a VVol-based VM may result in the VM operating system failure, when the following conditions exist:
  • The VM has a snapshot.
  • The source and target datastores are VVol-based datastores and each of them is accessible from a different host.
  • The ESXi version is 6.0, 6.0U1 or 6.0U2.
SCB-3509 Fixed: Adding a storage system with a back-resolving IP address to Spectrum Control Base fails, if the resulting DNS name has no address association.
