Base Command Manager / Bright Cluster Manager Release Notes
Release notes for Bright 6.1-10 (released 2013-09-06)
* Added Mellanox version 2.0-X (rpm package name mlnx-ofed2)
== cmdaemon ==
* Changed: list network objects in cmsh: The type of a cloud network is listed as "Cloud (VPC)" if the network is a subnet of a private cloud
* Added "-W authcap" option to freeipmi commands in sample scripts and bmcsol script (work around issues when the remote system does not properly report capabilities)
* Added: in cmsh, readonly property "private cloud" for network objects: If the network is a subnet of a private cloud, "private cloud" property will displays the name of the private cloud
* Added: advanced config directive to specify port detection offsets. Use PortDetectionOffset to set globally and/or PortDetectionOffset.swithc01 to set for individual switches. Negative offsets are also allowed.
* Added: cmsh gpusettings status command listing the current status of GPUs assigned to a device
* Added: cmsh gpusettings mode to category objects
* Added: option to sum dumpmetricdata for a set of nodes: device dumpmetricdata 14:00 16:00 -i 4 loadone -n node00[1-4] --sum
* Added: advanced config flag IncludeExternalNetworkForContainsIP=1 to make cmdaemon consider the external networks before any network with a gateway when sending the head node's IP to a client following the redirects
* Added: advanced config flag ExcludeReachableCheckForContainsIP=1 to prevent cmdaemon considering a network with a gateway when sending the head node's IP to a client following the redirects: If no network is found containing the clientIP, the basePartition->externalNetwork will be sent.
* Added: ability to go to the private clouds submode of a cloud provider directly from the main mode via "cloud privateclouds my-cloud-provider" or from cloud mode via "privateclouds my-cloud-provider"
* Added: interface preference when writing out DNS: physical > bridge > bond > vlan > alias > tunnel > map > bmc if AdvancedConfig SortInterfacesForDNS=1
* Added: cmd command line option '-b' (deprecates '-c')
* Added: SwitchTemperature metric for Force10 S-series (OID: .1.3.6.1.4.1.6027.3.10.1.2.2.1.14), not assigned to the ethernetswitch monitoring configuration by default
* Improved: cmsh tab completion for "subnets" and "options" of cloud-provider's "privatecloud" and for "StaticIP" of device's "cloudsettings"
* Improved: default to ec2 when creating a new cloud provider object in cmsh: [head->cloud]% add is now identical to [head->cloud]% add ec2provider
* Improved: cmsh device pcopy command: do not try to copy to nodes which are aggregated/closed/installing/... (only those which are UP)
* Improved: readFile (cmsh pread) command call: readFile( file.txt@100:110 ) returns lines 100 to 110 inclusive, readFile( file.txt@-20 ) returns last 20 lines, readFile( file.txt@+100 ) returns lines 100 until end-of-file
* Fixed: in some cases, cmdaemon not able to terminate spot instances
* Fixed: dot..format printing in pythoncm examples
* Fixed: terminated cloud nodes marked as pingable
* Fixed: rare bug which prevented objects from being saved to the database.
* Fixed: assume seconds=0 if not specified in cmsh dumpmetricdata
* Fixed: possible crash in object deepCopy
* Fixed: MIC nodes temporarily marked as UP while the host node starts
* Fixed: in some cases, prolog.clouds link being removed on cmdaemon restart
* Fixed: an issue with sendemail action hanging if too many mails are sent at once
* Fixed: cmdaemon writing a header in torque/server_name file
== node-installer ==
* The node's certificate is now updated on the local disk even when using NOSYNC install mode. This resolves an issue with NOSYNC'ed nodes not having their certificates regenerated when a new license is installed
* Fixed: an issue with the node-installer exiting prematurely in some cases, when the provisioning interface is a bonding interfaces
* Fixed: in some cases, node-installer not being able to properly configure bonding interfaces using active-backup mode
* Improved log messages: report the IP of the head node with which the node-installer is attempting to initialize an install session
== node-installer-slave ==
* update hwdata for clone install
* load hpsa module before hardware auto detection
== manuals ==
* added: external ldap user certificates, external-user-cert.py
* added: chassis content display within rackview
* added: eventlogger, EnableJSON, and EnableShellService directive notes
* added: vlan interface configuration
* added: rackview, custom horizontal layouts for containers
* added: --status option to foreach command
* added: megaraid, lustre, hpraid healthchecks
* updated: cmd.conf
* improved: foreach command details
* improved: TOC depth increase
* fixed: added stdlib code lib for MIC example
== cluster-tools ==
* Fixed: an issue with cmha-setup when different cluster objects have the same name

== cm-workload ==
* Change dgemm_cpu.x to dgemm_ofl.x in MIC offload job example for SLURM
== cmburn ==
* Fixed an issue where the kmon test would report "could not create fifo" and would then stop monitoring kernel messages.
== cmgui ==
* Changed: do not ask confirmation for closing 'Remote Console'
* Added: speed to physical network device settings
* Added: GPU settings to compute node tabs
* Added: GPU Settings for headnode
* Added: GPU Settings tab to category

* Fixed: an issue with the monitoring window if a device is being dropped
* Fixed: empty info message when pressing Finish button in MIC wizard
* Fixed: clear rackview color box when device no longer has any values for the selected metrics
