Resolved Issues in 5.0.0-SP30

Install & Upgrade

ORION-192114: Updated upgrade routines to avoid raising a false Minimal allowed BMC version for DP: "1.52" i s "12.21.7". Target host has BMC ver.: "12.21.1" alarm during the DNode modify task.
ORION-182782: Enhanced upgrade routines to prevent a scenario where during an upgrade, some of the CNodes cannot be activated due to a missing internal file.

ORION-178078: Eliminated a flow that could CNode containers to restart with the assertion failed: (info>matches == 1) (0 == 1) Bitmap entry doesn't have exactly one matching entry in the content block! counter: 0 error.
ORION-171028: Introduced improvements to eliminate a flow that could cause a significant rise in cluster’s metadata size.
ORION-142232: Resolved an issue that could cause a CNode container to restart with the waiting for a lock for too long error.

ORION-176742: Resolved an issue where after creation of a lifecycle rule, other lifecycle rules were displayed twice in VAST Web UI, and the duplicates could not be removed.

ORION-166711: Improved READDIR request caching to avoid increased latency when handling very large ls requests.

ORION-186969: Added support for creating case-insensitive NFSv4.1 links. Prior to this change, an assertion failed: (case_insensitive == false) case insensitive link?! alert would be raised on such attempts.
ORION-176692: Eliminated a flow that could cause a CNode container to restart with the assertion failed: void Nfs4::ConnectionState::add_session(Nfs4::Session *, Nfs4::Nfs4Metrics *) error.
ORION-172136: Enhanced handling of readdir and getattr requests to eliminate a flow that could cause delays in workload processing.
ORION-164019: Resolved an issue that could cause repeated assertion failed: (handle != INVALID_EHANDLE) can't translate invalid handle: alerts during NFS4 delete-on-close processing.
ORION-159317: Improved processing of bursts of GETATTR and READDIR requests to prevent occasional hanging when a client tries to read a file.

ORION-174206: Updated handling of SMB leases to eliminate a flow that could result in an Existing phandle <...> in lease break map differ from requested phandle alert.

ORION-183657: Updated the logic for handling requests to rename an S3 object so that the object being renamed does not get deleted in case the request fails.

ORION-170605: Updated the output of the VAST CLI's cluster show command to display data and metadata operations separately.

ORION-178354: Made updates to return a correct error code for an attempt to create a database schema on a bucket that already contains S3 objects.

ORION-176490, ORION-167094: Made updates to the logic behind the VAST Prometheus Exporter endpoints to ensure that they provide same or more capabilities than the deprecated exporter script.

ORION-178082: Updated LDAP query routines to resolve an issue where a custom LDAP domain name could not be resolved for groups while the resolution worked correctly for individual users.
ORION-172171: Improved the mechanism of querying groups from Active Directory to ensure that all relevant groups are taken into account when running a permission check.
ORION-166221: Added handling of hung OpenLDAP queries so that the cluster is able to automatically recover by restarting the corresponding CNode.
ORION-157997: Improved handling of NIS queries to eliminate an issue that could cause CNode containers to restart with the assertion failed: ((index) < (get_names_max_count())) (50 < 50) Array index out of bounds: QueryName error.
ORION-156145: Resolved an issue which could prevent retrieving user’s supplementary groups from a LDAP provider.
ORION-153240: Updated the LDAP query caching to eliminate an issue due to which a group query could return different group counts at different times.

ORION-182099: Eliminated an issue that could cause a local variable ‘data’ referenced before assignment error to occur on an attempt to access predefined analytics reports that provide information per virtual IP pool (for example, VIP Pool Bandwidth).
ORION-171871: Resolved an issue that could cause the VMS Preferred must not be True if there are less than 3 CNodes error to appear on attempts to enable the VMS Preferred option for a virtual IP pool that already existed and included more than three CNodes.
ORION-146167: Updated VMS event management to stop writing log messages if the corresponding action has been deactivated in VMS settings.

ORION-159027: When displaying analytics for a view (e.g. having selected a view from the Select Object dropdown in the Analytics page), the Define Time field now shows only options that are applicable to this particular type of analytics.
ORION-135741: Resolved an issue that could cause the VAST Web UI’s Hardware page to show each SSD multiple times with N/A next to it.

ORION-181077: Updated the logic behind the --cores parameter on the cnode add command to prevent the command from failing with the Illegal arguments: argument --cores: invalid choice error when a valid number of cores is specified.
ORION-174959: Updated the protectedpath list command to accept the --progress keyword.

ORION-186081: Resolved an issue where a failure of a DNode with Kioxia drives could lead to CNode container restarts and temporary service disruption.
ORION-176381: Improved management of internal replication-related processes to avoid a flow that could result in CNode containers restarting with the Retry time exceeded - waiting for a free fiber in fiber_group_id=W_RCT_MAINTENANCE for 3600 seconds and timeout expired for life_type=0,life_gen=45431907 (INGEST_READ) with 1 active jobs errors.
ORION-173228: Enhanced the mechanism of automatically disabling NVRAMs on DNode deactivation to eliminate a flow where after a DNode has failed and then recovered, some of the NVRAMs could remain in NOT_ATTACHED state and had to be activated manually.
ORION-172169: Updated the list of BMC versions supported for Mavericks DNodes used with VAST Cluster 5.0.0 or higher, to avoid raising false DNode BMC Version is not up to date alerts.
ORION-172169: Updated the list of BMC versions supported for Mavericks DNodes used with VAST Cluster 5.0.0 or higher to avoid raising false DNode BMC Version is not up to date alerts.
ORION-157221: Updated port mappings that are used during a cluster installation or expansion procedure with VAST Easy Install to ensure that port position numbers used for clusters with Dell Ice Lake CBoxes correspond to the hardware bezels.

ORION-176953: Updated the logic behind the VAST OS command line alias find-dns-ip to avoid returning too many CNodes.
