When a server is reloaded customers now have the option to enable LVM on the storage groups during the reload.
Added support for performance pricing when you duplicate storage volumes. Rolled out the ability for a user to create a new volume from an existing volume or snapshot. When creating the new volume a user will have the ability to either keep the configuration of the new volume (size, IOPS tier, etc) or make changes to the configuration.

Added additional disk controller categories to make it possible for there to be more than one disk controller ordered in a server.
Resolved an issue that was causing Virtual Guest image templates to not be imported properly due to mismatched software descriptions. This only affected Windows image template imports.
Rolled out code that improves order form performance on page load time.
Fixed issue where order validation was not always consistent between regular orders and orders from quotes, such as with hostname and domain validation.
Corrected the error message when customers without the MANAGE_USER permission attempted to create sub-users.

None
Backend
Fixed a bug causing customer ISO image templates to fail to transfer to new Datacenters.
Fixed a bug to enforce correct cancellation order of volumes with replicas. Previously it was possible to cancel storage with replica, but the process would fail as the replica must be cancelled first. The portal will now direct to you first cancel the replica volume.
API
Updated the SoftLayer_Virtual_Guest service’s getCreateObjectOptions method to not show options that are no longer available, such as old operating systems that are no longer supported.
Deprecated the requiredCoreCount from being included by default on SoftLayer_Product_Item_Price objects to improve API performance. If you have API requests that use requiredCoreCount implicitly, please ensure it is included in object masks or move to using capacityRestrictionType, capacityRestrictionMin, and capacityRestrictionMax.
Backend
Fixed an issue where ordering IP addresses sometimes failed when using the PayPal payment method or when attempting to order from a quote.
Changed SoftLayer to IBM Bluemix in a number of automated emails and tickets.
Mass Reboot and Migrate tickets now send out the contents of the ticket updates in emails. Previously they just included links to the ticket in the customer portal.
