Check your hardware before updating. HE250 nodes are excluded from this release. Exclusion from a release doesn’t always mean a product is permanently unsupported for later updates. See Compatibility and end of life.

New features

  • Integrated GPU support. ASUS® NUC15 and Lenovo® M70Q nodes now support integrated GPU (iGPU) functionality.

Enhancements

  • The VM console has been redesigned.
  • The web interface performs better.
  • A VM card’s snapshot list now shows when a snapshot failed to quiesce.
  • Power management actions are now limited to HE153 and HE250 models.
  • VMs can now live migrate between nodes with different generations of Intel processors, in either direction.
  • The condition.cpu-info.invalidGeneration condition no longer blocks node initialization. It stays visible in the web interface.
  • SR-IOV virtual function creation and vGPU live migration are improved.

Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where a node with a bonded interface was falsely reported as a chassis swap. Node identification in the cluster specification now accepts the hardware address of any network interface.
  • Fixed an issue where hyphenated serial numbers caused ClusterSpec update failures.
  • Fixed an issue where network validation was not enforced correctly.
  • Fixed an issue where node initialization didn’t fail when a required backplane VLAN was missing.
  • Fixed an issue where the snapshot list showed the wrong expiration date for replicated snapshots. Replicated snapshots now show their remote retention date instead of the local one.

Security

  • Hardened OIDC sign-in. SC//HyperCore now fully validates the identity provider’s ID token, and timeouts are bounded so an unresponsive identity provider can no longer hang the request.
