Changes to Existing Features

  • OpenNESS 20.06
    • Offline install for Native mode OnPremises has be deprecated

Fixed Issues

  • OpenNESS 20.06
    • Optimized the Kubernetes based deployment by supporting multiple Flavors

Known Issues and Limitations

  • OpenNESS 20.06
    • On-Premises edge installation takes 1.5hrs because of docker image build for OVS-DPDK
    • Network edge installation takes 1.5hrs because of docker image build for OVS-DPDK
    • OpenNESS controller allows management NICs to be in the pool of configuration which might allow configuration by mistake there by disconnecting the node from master
    • When using the SRIOV EPA feature added in 20.03 with OVNCNI, the container cannot access the CNI port. This is due to the SRIOV port being set by changing the network used by the container from default to a custom network, This overwrites the OVNCNI network setting configured prior to this to enable the container to work with OVNCNI. Another issue with the SRIOV, is that this also overwrites the network configuration with the EAA and edgedns, agents, which prevents the SRIOV enabled container from communicating with the agents.
    • Cannot remove Edge Node from Controller when its offline and traffic policy is configured or app is deployed.
    • Legacy OnPremises - Traffic rule creation: cannot parse filled and cleared field
    • There is an issue with using CDI when uploading VM images when CMK is enabled due to missing CMK taint toleration. The CDI upload pod does not get deployed and the virtctl plugin command times out waiting for the action to complete. A workaround for the issue is to invoke the CDI upload command, edit the taint toleration for the CDI upload to tolerate CMK, update the pod, create the PV and let the pod run to completion.
    • There is a known issue with cAdvisor which in certain scenarios occasionally fails to expose the metrics for Prometheus endpoint, see Git Hub: google/cadvisor#2537
