v0.4.4

What’s Changed

New Contributors

Full Changelog: https://github.com/platform9/vjailbreak/compare/v0.4.3…v0.4.4

Highlights

  • VMware Tools Removal: The removal script now removes all residual files and folders. A small number of registry entries may remain depending on the Windows version, but these are harmless and can be removed manually if needed.
  • Migration Profiles: Pre-defined key-value pairs can now be applied to a migrated VM’s root volume in OpenStack. Profiles are supported for both Windows and Linux guests.
  • L2 Network Scaling Support: Scaling of agents in L2 network (Simple Networking) is now supported.
  • Persistent Network Interface for Windows (2016+): Static network configurations including interface name, IP, MAC, and gateway are now preserved across migration for Windows Server 2016 and above.
  • FC Support for Storage Area Migration (SAM): Fibre Channel support has been added for SAM workflows, verified with NetApp FC targets.

Known Limitations

  • Windows 2012 and Earlier — Persist Network: The persistent network interface option is not supported on Windows 2012 and below. IP and MAC addresses are preserved, but the interface name and gateway may get lost, and the NIC configuration becomes dynamic after migration.
  • Migration Profiles — Upgrade Path: The two default profiles (Windows and Linux) are auto-created on fresh installations only. Users upgrading from lower versions to v0.4.4 will need to create these profiles manually.
  • VMware Tools Registry Entries: Depending on the Windows version, a small number of VMware Tools registry entries (listed in public docs) may not be removed by the uninstall script. These are harmless but can be removed manually if desired.
  • FC SAM — Verified Target: FC support for SAM has been verified against NetApp FC targets. Compatibility with other FC storage vendors is not yet validated.
