Switching to F&F workflow: 
  • Restore suspended state of a VM after failover

  • Remove option to revert a replica's clones

  • Remove option to mount a replica

  • BUGFIX: These changes also eliminate the possibility where active data on a replicated datastore could be overwritten by a replication


Made F&F more robust

  • BUGFIX: Failover target "forgets" the failover source

  • BUGFIX: Temporary snapshots created during permanent failover are not deleted

  • BUGFIX: F&F metadata sometimes got corrupted

  • BUGFIX: Failover fails when suspending or shutting down the source VM takes more than 30 seconds


Clarify the system behavior

  • Clarify email when a crash consistent snapshot is created instead of app consistent

  • Clarify email when the replication fails due to the target being low on space

  • Clarify email when the replication fails due to the target being unreachable

  • Improve clarity of certain UI action labels

  • Clarify when failover process fails due to the source host losing connectivity

  • Clarify in the logs when failover process fails due to being unable to suspend the source VM

  • Clarify when the snapshotting process fails because it was unable to write a snapshot to disk

  • BUGFIX: Replication target state missing from the UI


Features for power users:

  • Add support for configuring a dedicated storage network in more complex LANs

  • Post-thaw hook/script is not mandatory for application consistent snapshots


Make the snapshot and replication feature more resilient:

  • Clean up hanging VMware snapshots created by previous schedule runs

  • BUGFIX: When datastore name contains special characters, some snapshots are skipped

  • BUGFIX: When replication target is offline, sometimes the local snapshots are not created as well


Finally, some plain and simple bug fixes in other areas:

  • BUGFIX: postgresql service was failing on system startup

  • BUGFIX: Sometimes a user can see files created by another user, even though they don't have the permission (SMB share)

  • BUGFIX: Sometimes a user can't see files created by another user, even though they have the permission (SMB share)
