Welcome to the Anvil! Intelligent Availability™ release v2.0.4!

This is a significant release with new features and bug fixes. Existing users are encouraged to update.

Notable New features;

  • HP Proliant servers are now support via the new scan-hpacucli scan agent. Note: We can not include the hpacucli RPM with the Anvil! install media. Please install this RPM on each node manually to enable this agent. Nothing beyond installing the RPM is needed.
  • Dell Poweredge servers are now fully supported.
  • Added support for LANPlus-based IPMI fencing, as well as custom IPMI user names in Install Manifests.
  • Created the new anvil-manage-disks tool for adding, removing or growing "hard drives" connected to servers.
  • Created the new fence_apc_alteeve fence handler that properly handles newer APC PDUs that report an SNMP error on outlet state change, causing fence_apc_snmp to report fence failure when the fence action in fact succeeded.
  • Added the new scancore::agent_timeout variable (default 300 seconds) that limits how long an agent can run for before being declared hung and terminated.

Notable Bug Fixes;

  • The scan-apc-ups agent properly removes UPSes that are removed from the hosts file. This improves the handling of load shedding and emergency shutdown decision making in complex power configurations.
  • Improved handling of node cache data when the password is changed on an Anvil! node.
  • Fixed how striker-update updates data in the HTML directories on Striker dashboards.
  • Fixed a bug where a notification target with an empty recipient name would cause alerts to not be delivered to that recipient.
  • Improved handling of ScanCore database resync after extended node or dashboard downtime.
  • Improved storage partition handling and "Restart" button linking when an Install Manifest run had to abort and be restarted.
  • Fixed a bug on RHEL-based Striker dashboards with ASIX-based USB ethernet adapters that weren't recompiled after a kernel update.
  • Added better handling of new APC UPS firmware that removed some OIDs.

Special thanks to "nummysquee" who did the heavy lifting of testing and re-testing this release!
