Release Notes - Data Virtualization Platform V36.0
New Features and Enhancements
Accelario Version 36 focuses primarily on urgent customer-driven enhancements, delivering important stability improvements, storage reliability fixes, and usability refinements across the platform. This release strengthens system robustness, security, and operational consistency in real-world production environments.
Storage & Infrastructure Reliability Improvements
iSCSI Auto-Reconnection Enhancements
Improved system resilience by ensuring automatic iSCSI drive reconnection after:
Source Windows server reboot
Target Windows server reboot
Accelario server reboot
Additionally:
Fixed issue where iSCSI storage passwords were ignored for identical storage users.
These improvements significantly increase storage reliability and reduce manual intervention after restarts.
ZFS & NFS Stability Enhancements
Added support to configure ZFS sync behavior for VDBs.
Enabled adding a disk with a custom path without strict validation.
Improved GI refresh process by automatically disabling and re-enabling NFS shares.
Ensured the system checks actual dNFS state directly from the OS instead of relying on stored state.
Added free space validation before GI creation for MySQL and PostgreSQL Native Backup database types.
These updates provide better storage accuracy, safer provisioning, and improved operational reliability.
Security & Data Protection Improvements
Passwords are now hidden on the VDB information screen.
Adjusted MySQL VDB snapshot locking mechanism to use a less intrusive lock.
Removed internal/hidden snapshots and special autosync behavior for MSSQL Native Backup GIs (technical debt cleanup).
These changes improve both security posture and snapshot handling consistency.
Database & Backup Process Enhancements
Fixed issue where Auto Sync failed if TLog backup was still in progress.
Modified database connection testing to initiate from the GI agent instead of the Accelario server, improving network alignment and reducing failures.
Hid the “Analyze snapshots automatically” checkbox for MSSQL Live/NB/Azure TDE flows where not applicable.
These enhancements improve operational stability and reduce edge-case failures.
User Experience & Usability Improvements
Added option to set a custom temporary directory by default.
Hid unnecessary popup messages related to background auto-refresh.
Extended Swagger API documentation for better integration and developer experience.
These refinements provide a cleaner UI and improved customer interaction with the platform.
