Vmware converter 4.0 release notes


















Optional VMD driver. Persistent memory modules are non-volatile memory modules that bring together the low latency of memory and the persistence of storage. Data stored in persistent memory modules can be accessed quickly compared to other storage devices, and is retained across power cycles. Multicast MAC-Filtering—This enhancement allows hosts to register for the type of traffic to be received, and facilitates traffic forwarding to vNICs based on this criteria.

The number of unified ports have been increased from 8 to FC ports are converted in groups of 4 ports by the first 4 ports port 1 to 4 or the first 8 ports port 1 to 8. Intel Speed Select—Intel Speed Select allows you to optimize CPU performance by selecting one of three operating profiles, based on the number of logical processor cores, frequency, and TDP thread setting.

MSwitch Disaster Recovery—This enhancement enables you to recover a corrupted MSwitch and roll back to a previous working firmware. For a server associated with a service profile, disk scrub occurs during disassociation, based on the scrub policy used in the service profile. NVMe over Fibre Channel now supports up to 16 interfaces. Support for signed drivers in all supported Linux platforms. UEFI Secure Boot ensures that only trusted firmware and drivers are allowed to run at system boot, decreasing vulnerability to malware at boot time.

They cannot be configured as server ports, FCoE storage ports, appliance ports or monitoring ports. The new range is between 1 and 64 queues. To efficiently use this speed, the number of Tx and Rx queues have been increased from 8 to each.

However, the maximum number of supported Rx and Tx queues cannot be more than the number of CPU cores in the system. This feature provides various enhancements that enable you to detect slow drain devices that cause congestion in the network, and also mitigate it. Support for Redfish version 1. Certificate Manager for Device Connector—The Certificate Manager allows you to view a list of trusted certificates and import a valid trusted certificate. The following are the two main differences between C M5 servers and other rack servers.

Having the same Fan Speed Policy for the all the server ensures that the desired Fan Speed Policy is applied irrespective of which server is associated last. Support for the Login Profile feature, which provides the ability to block login requests to Cisco UCS Manager for a specific period after failed login attempts. For detailed information about supported operating system, see the interactive UCS Hardware and Software Compatibility matrix.

The following table lists the mixed A, B, and C bundle versions that are supported on Cisco UCS , , and fabric interconnects:. The following table lists the mixed B, C bundles that are supported on all platforms with the 4. If you implement cross-version firmware, you must ensure that the configurations for the Cisco UCS domain are supported by the firmware version on the server endpoints.

In a mixed firmware configuration, we recommend that the minimum server bundle corresponds to the Minimum Software Version. The infrastructure must be at or above the Minimum Software Version. To determine the minimum software version for your mixed environment, see Cross-Version Firmware Support.

The following is the list of other supported hardware:. Following is the list of Gb connector modules, transceiver modules, and supported cables:. The maximum length of fiber optic runs is limited to meters. This is imposed by our use of We recommend that you use the current software version for Gb port speed connections. Following is the list of Gb connector modules and supported cables:. Also, if port-security is enabled in the network control policy, it is disabled during downgrade from Cisco UCS Manager Release 4.

Starting with Release 4. Cisco UCS uses the catalog to update the display and configurability of components such as newly qualified DIMMs and disk drives for servers.

The Capability Catalog is embedded in Cisco UCS Manager, but at times it is also released as a single image file to make updates easier. CVE In jQuery versions greater than or equal to 1.

This problem is patched in jQuery 3. The latest CiscoSSL 1. This bug was filed to evaluate the product against the vulnerability affecting Linux kernel, identified by the following CVE IDs:. TCP networking vulnerabilities have been identified affecting Linux kernel. However the product is not affected by the following vulnerability:. Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability. A vulnerability in the CLI implementation of a specific command for the Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect could have allowed an authenticated, local attacker to escape the CLI and gain unauthorized access to the underlying operating system of the device.

An attacker could have exploited this vulnerability to escape the CLI and execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system with the privileges of the root user. The attacker would need valid device credentials.

Additional information on Cisco's security vulnerability policy can be found at the following URL:. Security Vulnerability Policy. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the SNMP application to restart multiple times, leading to a system-level restart and a denial of service DoS condition.

These BIOS revisions include the updated microcode that is a required part of the mitigation for these vulnerabilities. This release includes the BIOS revision to mitigate this risk. This issue is resolved through the OpenSSL software updates. Operating System and Hypervisor patches from the appropriate vendors may also be required to mitigate these vulnerabilities.

CVE is addressed by applying the updated processor microcode from Intel included in the server firmware bundle, and the relevant Operating System and Hypervisor patches from the appropriate vendors. The vulnerability occurs because AAA processes prevent the NX-OS System Manager from receiving keepalive messages when an affected device receives a high rate of login attempts, such as in a brute-force login attack.

System memory can run low on the FXOS devices under the same conditions, which could cause the AAA process to unexpectedly restart or cause the device to reload. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by performing a brute-force login attack against a device that is configured with AAA security services.

A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the affected device to reload. There are workarounds that address this vulnerability. The Incomplete or no cache-control and Pragma HTTP header set vulnerability vulnerability will not be fixed because of the following:. Future UCS software driver bundles distributed through the usual Cisco software channels may not include binaries for the libfabric packages.

Cisco engineers continue to be active, core contributors in both the Libfabric and Open MPI communities, and will actively develop and support users through the usual community or commercial ISV support mechanisms e.

The resolved bugs for a release are accessible through the Cisco Bug Search Tool. This web-based tool provides you with access to the Cisco bug tracking system, which maintains up-to-date information about bugs and vulnerabilities in this product and other Cisco hardware and software products. You must have a Cisco. If you do not have one, you can register for an account.

The error message CLI session limit 32 reached. When installing a Cisco UCS M5 server attached to a Series fabric interconnect for the first time, the service profile could fail association and display Connection Placement Error.

The management interface on Fabric Interconnect B was down and the error was not being cleared. The system displayed the message:. Last reset at usecs after Fri Nov 20 A Cisco UCS Series fabric interconnect rebooted during upgrade and displayed the message lldp hap reset.

Error messages showed messages like the following. After upgrade of firmware to version 4. For Cisco UCS Series fabric interconnects, you can now run the e2fsck command with reboot option.

The original firmware shipped with Cisco UCS Series Fabric Interconnects caused the SSD to become unresponsive after a certain threshhold of power-on hours, until the system was rebooted. Messages like the following were displayed and the switch shut down even though the fans are present and spinning. An MCM core dump with signal failure.

When a hot plug drive is replaced due to RAID 0 drive failure, the virtual drive is now re-initialized to automatically bring the failed RAID 0 back online. It now logs clean with errors conditions as well. Servers with Series Fabric Interconnects were not affected. SSDs go offline and become unusable after power cycle event resulting in data loss, potentially on multiple drives if they are placed in service at the same time.

Cisco C-series integrated server that is connected to Fabric Interconnect through Fabric extender, encounters fabric ports link flaps during cluster failover or shallow discovery. Loss of network connectivity due to running out of memory after an uptime of over days was sometimes encountered on hosts on Cisco standalone C-Series servers equipped with a VIC adapter. On upgrade of BIOS to one of the following versions, the booting of M5 servers get stuck at the memory testing step:.

January 16, Updated the Internal Dependencies table to clarify support for M3 blade servers. May 20, Updated Catalog File Name for 4. January 08, Updated the Open Caveats for Release 4. September 04, Updated the description for CSCvq Parallel Disk Update—Support for parallel firmware update on multiple disks. In the port-channel, both ports should have same speed.

Blade Servers Note In a mixed firmware configuration, we recommend that the minimum server bundle corresponds to the Minimum Software Version. The 40G backplane setting is not applicable for 22xx IOMs.

Table This release includes BIOS revisions to address the vulnerabilty. Note You must have a Cisco. It now contains even more options for generating virtual machines. VMware Fusion, the company's Mac virtualization software, has become very popular , but it can do even more when combined with something like Converter. As the name suggests, VMware Converter creates VMware virtual machines from a wide range of sources, including physical machines. Converter 4. Even better, Converter can now create virtual machines from third-party formats like Norton Ghost, and of course Parallels Desktop.

Although Converter doesn't actually run on OS X, all of the virtual machines that it creates can be used on VMware Fusion, so Mac users now have an easier way to create Linux virtual machines if they need it for development or just want to try out Ubuntu.
