OSS Versions

See Third-Party Components for Storage 15.3 for the complete listing of packages and versions for this release.

Fixed in 15.3

• Improved Stability for Dense Clusters: Improved CPU utilization in dense clusters which reduces spontaneous process restarts and other instabilities. (CUP-630)

• Improved Handling of S3 Multi-Deletes: Addressed a multi-delete ES ghost entry bug impacting various Veeam-using customers. (SWAR-9703)

• EC Multipart and Versioned Segments: Eliminated the potential for missing EC segments in obsolete EC object versions. (SWAR-9770)

• Finalizing State on Restart/Shutdown: Fixed an issue where a node did not finalize the state during restart or shutdown. Instead, the node required manual power for cycling, which should no longer be necessary. (SWAR-9767)

• Network Disruption: Eliminated potential for data loss when a cluster had significant network disruption that continued for multiple HP cycles. (SWAR-9753)

• EC Conversion: Fixed a rare cause of segment loss when EC conversions interleaved with volume recoveries. (SWAR-9751)

• Elasticsearch Upgrade: Swarm Storage 15.3 requires upgrading Elasticsearch to 7.17.9. The rolling upgrade of the Elasticsearch cluster can be done either before or after upgrading to Storage 15.3. (SWAR-9731)

• Retention Policies: Fixed an issue where updates to retention policies that failed, typically due to network-related issues, could result in the loss of the object. (SWAR-9842)
