Changes

Hybrid Cloud Copy to S3: Hybrid Cloud Copy to S3 feature in Gateway 7.8 provides the capability to copy objects from Swarm to a target S3 cloud storage destination. Native cloud applications/services running on utility computing can work with data directly from the target cloud storage. (CLOUD-3476)

Fixed

S3 delimiter listings now display all objects in a versioned bucket. Prior to Gateway 7.8, some objects were not visible and causing some S3 client “sync” operations to re-copy objects. (CLOUD-3485)

Upgrade Impacts

See Upgrading Gateway to upgrade from a version of Gateway 6. See Upgrading from Gateway 5.x if migrating from Elasticsearch 2.3.3 and Gateway 5.

Watch Items and Issues

These are known operational limitations that exist for Gateway.

• When using the default RHEL/CentOS configuration of IPTABLES, traffic to the Gateway is blocked unless action is taken to disable IPTABLES or to enable inbound traffic to the front-end protocol port(s).

• Gateway is not compatible with Linux PAM modules that depend upon interactive validation operations such as OTP or biometric scanners.

See Content Gateway 6 Release Notes for known issues from prior releases that are still applicable, apart from those appearing above as Fixed.
