New Fixes and Enhancements in This Rollup

This rollup introduces the following fixes that have not been previously released:

Console
Server
Target Device

Console Issues

  1. The Provisioning Services Console might exit unexpectedly while exporting a vDisk.

    [#LA4126]

Server Issues

  1. The Stream Service might fail to restart after the service exits unexpectedly due to hung threads or can experience delays while shutting down.

    [#LA2798]

  2. Attempts to merge vDisk versions might fail with the following error message:

    "Not enough storage is available to complete this operation. Error number 0xE000000E."

    [#LA2886]

  3. The StreamProcess might fail to restart properly after the service exits unexpectedly due to a defect with connections to the Provisioning Services database.

    [#LA3018]

  4. The StreamProcess.exe process can exit unexpectedly while it shuts down.

    [#LA3136]

  5. With Key Management Server (KMS) enabled, switching a vDisk to Standard Image Mode from a Provisioning Server in a different site can cause a database lock.

    [#LA3677]

  6. The StreamProcess can exit unexpectedly at random.

    [#LA3740]

  7. The StreamProcess.exe and Notifier.exe processes might fail to restart when a Stream Service keep-alive failure occurs.

    [#LA3878]

  8. Target devices can unexpectedly fall back to server-side caching, significantly slowing overall performance. The console fails to indicate the issue and continues to show caching to be taking place on the target device.

    [#LA4440]

  9. While starting up, target devices complete two DHCP discovers and requests, once prior to single IO, and once when Windows starts up. Some DHCP solutions that utilize the DHCP client identifier field can identify the two DHCP discovers and requests from a single target device as originating form different devices. As a result, two separate IP addresses are assigned to a single network interface.

    With this fix, the updated BDM populates the DHCP client identifier field in the DHCP discovers and requests, allowing these DHCP solutions to correctly assign target devices with the same IP address, prior to single IO and when Windows starts up.

    [#LA4578]

Target Device Issues

  1. With this fix, when the PVS BNISTACK driver sends a heartbeat to the server and receives a socket error, it immediately reconnects.

    [#LA2651]

  2. When target devices use the local disk for the write cache, various errors can occur, including cache malfunctions and cache failover to the server. This logging enhancement allows you to view local disk cache related errors and configuration conditions.

    With this enhancement, the detailed "disk/partition qualifying for cache usage" process is reported to the server provided that target debug logging is enabled.

    To enable target debug logging, set the logging level to Debug from the logging tab of the target device properties on the PVS console.

    [#LA3892]
