💡 What’s New

-
NCC 5.1.1
-
NGT 4.2
-
Foundation 5.7.1
-
LCM 3.1.1
-
Flow Network Security 4.2.0

✅ Resolved Issues — More Stability, Less Hassle
-
Security & SSL: Custom ECDSA SSL certificates no longer break App Switcher or VM operations.
-
Metro Availability: Enabling on DR-segmented clusters now works as expected.
-
Flow Upgrades: Fixed an issue where Flow install failures could freeze the CVM.
-
Stargate Crashes: Resolved recurring WAL recovery issues and high CVM CPU spikes.
-
Data Hydration: No more infinite retries — nearSync and garbage collection are back on track.
-
Prism Central Tasks: PC web console no longer delays subtasks triggered from Prism Element.
🧠 Important Considerations
-
Chrony replaces NTP for time sync.
-
TCP Wrapper, VLAN discovery, and host-based reservation methods are not supported.
-
v3 VM APIs should only be used in Prism Central (not in Prism Element).
-
Upgrading with NVIDIA GPUs requires additional validation.
🔄 Supported Features by Hypervisor
Most core features work across AHV, ESXi, and Hyper-V. Highlights:
-
NearSync, Metro Availability, and Role-Based Access Control supported on AHV and ESXi.
-
vGPU & vNUMA available on AHV and ESXi.
-
Self-service restore, DR runbooks, Calm, and microsegmentation — AHV leads the pack here.
AOS 7.0.1.7 is all about polish — addressing edge-case issues, tightening integrations, and smoothing the path for operations at scale. If you’ve been waiting for a good moment to upgrade, this is it.
