2.4.2

SCST updated to 2.2.x version.

2.4.1

Broadcom NetXtremeII-based NICs support.

2.4

SSD caching capability. You can use free physical drives for caching of hot most-frequently used data heap. Drive is just simply attached to existing logical drive.

2.3.1

This is bugfix release. Fixes issues with invalid service boot sequence.

2.3

Extensive use of system memory for caching purposes. All reads from block devices are cached. However ability to switch between either !WriteBack or !WriteThrough modes of operation is possible.

2.2.1

This release contains only single bugfix related to produced combined disk images size. Previously it could not create the forth partition dedicated for log saving. You had to enlarge this file. Hardware storage devices, as a rule, are larger than disk image file and work perfectly.

2.2

2.1

2.0

1.7

1.6

Main SAN page now contains new fith column, called "Sessions". It displays all current active iSCSI sessions with each available target. Different technical session-related information can be retrieved, that may help in solving issues with heterogeneous initiators.

1.5.6

This is bugfix release:

1.5.5

This release brings an important capability of storing all log files permanently in a separate partition. After firmware updating, the system will create forth separate partition with XFS filesystem. That may lead to double system reboot. Syslog daemon is configured to store up to one hundred of rotated megabyte log files.

1.5.4

1.5.3

1.5.2

This update release includes 1.4.3 and contains serious bugfix (bug can occur with manually created LVM !VolumeGroups with slightly different format values).

1.5.1

This is minor bugfix release. The only noticeable for a user bugfix is real clearing of logical volumes with disks during opensan-factory-defaults command's work and when there are active iSCSI sessions.

1.5

1.4.3

This update release includes 1.3.2.

1.4.2

This release contains several very important bugfixes:

1.4.1

This is bugfix release, that includes 1.3.1.

1.4

This release brings IPv6 protocol support. iSCSI, SSH and overall routing are ready to work over IPv6 protocol.

1.3.2

All users upgrading from 1.3.1 or earlier versions should not worry about new bonding-related configuration format. This version is fully compatible with it.

1.3.1

This is bugfix release. It includes 1.2.1 release and fixes the bug, where only default bonding's MII monitoring time is applied.

1.3

Appeared ability to bond multiple networking interfaces together. One can use several interfaces as single virtual channel with specified properties, varying between reliability and performance targets. Bonding capability fully relies on Linux built-in “bonding” kernel module, providing six bonding policies:

Our bonding implementation use only MII-based link monitoring. ARP is not a choice, as it is too IPv4-biased, although it does not require lower-level device drivers necessary MII support.

1.2.1

This is bugfix release, that repairs serious problem with possible network reconfiguration unability. Also it contains more russian translations.

1.2

Appeared ability to authenticate incoming iSCSI connections on a target. This ability fully relies on standard CHAP-based authentication scheme. User can specify several authentication credentials per single iSCSI target. Each credential is just a pair of username and it's password.

1.1.2

Removed unnecessary status information about active TCP connections. This information has no value for SAN system, that does not have even NAT capabilities.

1.1.1

This release is interesting only to developers, not the common users. It's distribution contains useful ip addr/route/link network utilities. Of course they can be used remotely by system/network administers. Also SCST Lua library logs all scstadmin's command output in separate file, that can be useful for debugging purposes.
