What’s New |
You can view features of
each fix pack from the IBM® Wave user interface. |
To view the What’s
New window, click Help > What’s New. |
Working with dynamic memory
and CPUs |
Without recycling the
guest, you can dynamically increase memory, CPUs, or both for an active guest. |
Two corresponding new actions are available from the popup menu for an active guest to facilitate dynamically adding CPU and Memory. The Administrative > Manage Parameters > Threshold tab is now named "Thresholds and Defaults" and contains new default and threshold values for memory and CPUs. There are also new permissions available in the project scope to control access to these functions. |
New Linux support |
Ubuntu Server 16.04 |
IBM Wave supports Ubuntu Server 16.04 as a managed guest. |
Extending storage by using
existing storage in a volume group (VG). |
You can extend existing
storage before you allocate new storage. |
Depending on the requested
storage versus the available storage, you can now extend storage in the VG
directly in the Extend Storage pane. The ability to set the default for the extend action is included with this feature. If necessary, go to Administrative > Manage Parameters > Functionality > Storage File System, and then select the check box "When extending a file system, set the default to extend from VG storage". |
Disabling connectivity
sampling for dormant guests. |
You can decide how the
connectable guest periodic task handles dormant guests. |
To disable the connectable
guest periodic task from interacting with dormant guests, check the
"Disable connectivity check for dormant guests" in the Administrative
> Manage Parameters > Functionality
tab. |
Indicating dormant guests
with a new icon. |
You can easily spot a
dormant guest by viewing its waning crescent moon icon. |
|
Hardening security by
removing the requirement for the Service Machines to use the LOGON password. |
For file transfer, the
Service Machines are accessible by using the Authorized API User credentials
through the LOGONBY statement. |
You can configure the IBM
Wave Service Machines to use the LOGONBY statement for Linux Bare-metal
Installation (BMI), and the Auto-Detect and doUpdate processes. |
Specifying virtual address range for storage groups. |
You can specify a range of virtual device addresses per storage group. |
Minidisk allocation, during a manage storage process, can be controlled by a following
new storage group definition options:
