Release Notes

Backend

• Bandwidth Overage notifications now include alerts for Bandwidth Pools approaching their total allocation

API

• Properly handle upgrade rules when block/file volume is magnetic
• Removed the dead PhoneFactor code
• Allow for editing a firmware driver version entries
• Add new guest attribute type for ACTIVE_LIVE_MIGRATION
• Made the SoftLayer_Hardware_Server::virtualGuests ORM key return an empty collection for customers (SLDN calls), since we no longer offer customer-managed-guests and therefore customers do not need to know host/server information for their guests anymore.
• Fully deprecated SoftLayer_Network_Vlan::secondaryRouter

Backend

• Fixed an issue where block and file snapshot counts where not accurate

API

• Reliably populate SoftLayer_Network_Subnet::gateway and broadcastAddress for non-static subnets.
• Removed PhoneFactor Exceptions and Exception message translations
• Added validation to Customer rate limit values
• Allow upgrades to use additional private network interfaces
• Expose permissionCheckLikeMasterUserFlag to API

Backend

• Fix an issue causing some order verification and order placement to return generic errors from the API.
• Auto-resume guests when live migration bug occurs that suspends the guest unintentionally
• Prevent IPSec VPN orders on VRF enabled accounts
• Fixed multiple bugs/inconsistencies related to parent/child device access violation. Parent/Child Customer relationships should now be honored in device access changes.
• Suspend all existing Autoscale groups in preparation to deprecate the product

API

• Do not permit static subnet route requests to target actively re-routing subnets.
• Change the status to ‘Approved’ instead of ‘Complete’ for subnet cancellation requests when the reclaim is yet to complete.

API

• Secondary subnets no longer prevent automatic or premium VLANs from being cancelled and reclaimed. As part of VLAN reclamation, secondary subnets will be unrouted for potential future use.

API

• Removed all guest-related methods from SLDN exposure on the SoftLayer_Virtual_Host class, since customer-managed guests are no longer available as a product and therefore host information is not exposed to customers for their guests.
• Update volumeStatus as string in case of ISCSI volume
• Updated SLDN Documentation for SoftLayer_User_Customer_ApiAuthentication to match behavior
• Deprecate Autoscale for Classic API methods
• Adding new package names to Sendgrid product items.
• Clarify 2nd event log entry for IAM Token good with 2FA failure

Backend

• Prefer keeping the same IP addresses when restarting a provision
• Added code to delete networks after the deletion of provisioning network in SoftLayer_Virtual_Host
• Unroute static subnets targeting primary IP addresses upon host reclaim.

API

• Deprecated the following ORM relations:

  • SoftLayer_Network_Vlan::network
  • SoftLayer_Network_Vlan::secondaryRouter

• Deprecated the following methods:

  • SoftLayer_Network_Vlan::getFirewallProtectableIpAddresses
  • SoftLayer_Network_Vlan::getFirewallProtectableSubnets
  • SoftLayer_Network_Vlan::getNetwork
  • SoftLayer_Network_Vlan::getPrivateVlan
  • SoftLayer_Network_Vlan::getPublicVlanByFqdn
  • SoftLayer_Network_Vlan::getReverseDomainRecords
  • SoftLayer_Network_Vlan::getSecondaryRouter
  • SoftLayer_Network_Vlan::updateFirewallIntraVlanCommunication
  • SoftLayer_Hardware::networkStatus / SoftLayer_Hardware::getNetworkStatus()
  • SoftLayer_Hardware::networkStatusAttribute / SoftLayer_Hardware::getNetworkStatusAttribute()
  • SoftLayer_Hardware::downstreamNetworkHardwareWithIncidents / SoftLayer_Hardware::getDownstreamNetworkHardwareWithIncidents()
  • SoftLayer_Hardware_Group::networkStatus
  • SoftLayer_Hardware_Group::downstreamHardwareWithIncidents

• Updated documentation of SoftLayer_Network_Vlan service and data type.

• Deprecate all customer-managed guest. Information about guests running on customer managed hardware will no longer be available in the API

• Deprecate Host::billedPerGuestFlag and Host::billedPerMemoryUsageFlag

• Deprecated the following SLDN properties and methods.

• New permissions checks to SoftLayer_Network_Storage APIs

Backend

• Enable ordering additional private network interface on bare metal servers
• Allow users to cancel VLANs with customer bare metal hosts trunked to them
• Prevent creation of new Autoscale Scale groups

API

• SLDN Documentation added for SoftLayer_User_Customer::getAuthenticationToken & SoftLayer_User_Customer::validateAuthenticationToken

Backend

• Migrate Reserved Capacity Instance when there is an os mismatch

Backend

• Correctly check for consistent disk types during guest upgrades. Disk types (local/SAN) are more consistently checked when performing upgrades on virtual servers, preventing them from having multiple disk types at a time.

API

• A new orm key in server class that will allow for additional private networks.

Backend

• Fix minor suspendable guest billing issues.
• Fix IAM login for SL user with IP address restrictions AND 2FA
• Prevent compute orders in closing DCs when the account has no presence there
• Lowering subnet size limit to /29 for select VLANs previously limited to /28
