Queens Series Release Notes

12.4.1-10

New Features

  • Add the ability to configure the multipath setting for the Dell EMC SC ISCSI driver.

  • Add new parameter cinder::backend::pure::image_volume_cache_enabled Allows setting of the image_volume_cache_enabled option on the managed Cinder backend for PureStorage. The option defaults to True if unset.

Bug Fixes

  • Notify Apache in case the API is served in that context when the API is supposed to be restarted, for instance due to configuration changes.

12.4.1

New Features

  • Add openstack-db tag to Exec that run db-sync.

Deprecation Notes

  • storage_vnx_pool_name is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Please use storage_vnx_pool_names instead.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixes bug 1753596 so the backend_host option is set in each cinder-volume backend driver’s section, and not in the DEFAULT section where the option isn’t relevant.

Other Notes

  • A previous deprecation notice stated the host option was deprecated in favor of the backend_host option. This was misleading because the note failed to clarify this only applied to options in the cinder-volume backend driver sections. In the DEFAULT section, the host option is not deprecated, and the backend_host option isn’t relevant.
