Changes in this update

This update includes the following improvements:

• Via XenAPI, you can now set the alert level for Workload Balancing alerts in XenCenter.

This update fixes the following issues:

• During the Workload Balancing maintenance window, Workload Balancing is unable to provide placement recommendations. When this situation occurs, you see the error: "4010 Pool discovery has not been completed. Using original algorithm." The Workload Balancing maintenance window is less than 20 minutes long and by default is scheduled at midnight.
• For a Workload Balancing virtual appliance version 8.2.2 and later that doesn't use LVM, you cannot extend the available disk space.
• Due to an unresponsive API call, Workload Balancing is sometimes blocked during pool discovery.
• In XenCenter, the date range and some timestamps shown on the Workload Balancing Pool Audit Report are incorrect.
• In XenCenter, some strings are not displaying correctly for Workload Reports.
• If the Workload Balancing virtual appliance is running for a long time, it is shut down by the operating system for consuming a lot of memory.
• The database fails to auto-restart after the Workload Balancing virtual appliance experiences an abnormal shutdown.

This update includes changes to the WLB database. Ensure that you use the provided migration script when you update your WLB to this version. For more information, see Migrate data from an existing virtual appliance.
