| + | |||
| + | The following new features have been introduced in the 8.7.3.0 release: | ||
| + | * FlashSystem grid dashboard for visualization and monitoring on all systems in the grid. | ||
| + | * Enhancements to storage partition migration for non-disruptive data movement between systems, including: | ||
| + | * GUI support for initiating, monitoring and managing partition migration. | ||
| + | * Support for partition migration with disaster recovery. | ||
| + | * Partition migration while managing snapshots and Safeguarded Copies. | ||
| + | * SCSI Persistent Reserve support for iSCSI hosts in partitions. | ||
| + | * Support for highly available snapshots, including snapshot restore without loss of HA. | ||
| + | * Enhancements for monitoring high availability and disaster recovery, showing progress and estimated completion time for volume group and partition synchronization. | ||

| + | ===== V8.7.2 ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | 25-02-2025 | ||
| + | |||
| + | The following new features have been introduced in the 8.7.2.0 release: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Support for iSCSI hosts in HA partitions. | ||
| + | * Support for SCSI Persistent Reservations for volumes in storage partitions. | ||
| + | * Support for internal key management for encrypted data-at-rest. | ||
| + | * Single point of administration for health reporting for objects in a FlashSystem grid. | ||
| + | * Support for more than 16 NVMe over Fibre Channel hosts. | ||
| + | * Policy-based replication can be configured on image mode volumes to allow for a migration from external storage, while maintaining any existing replication on the virtualized storage during the migration. | ||
| + | * Volumes or volume groups that are replicated or in highly available storage partitions can be restored or refreshed from a snapshot. | ||
| + | * Improvements for better granularity for iSCSI 2-way CHAP authentication and FIPS compliance for iSCSI hosts. | ||
| + | * Support for VLAN tagging on management networks for Service IP addresses. | ||
| + | * Support for creating a standard child pool in a standard parent pool without specifying a quota. | ||
| + | * Host offline alerts can be enabled or disabled on a per-host basis. | ||
| + | * Enhancements for Ransomware Threat Detection by introducing volume group awareness for systems with IBM FlashCore Module (FCM4) firmware 4.2 or later. | ||
| + | |||
| + | __The following features are no longer supported from 8.7.1.0 and later:__ | ||
| + | * Remote Copy; this includes Metro Mirror, Global Mirror, HyperSwap and Volume Mobility. | ||
| + | * These features have been superseded by Policy-based replication and Policy-based HA. Systems using Remote Copy cannot upgrade to 8.7.1 or later. | ||
| + | * Replication capabilities are removed from the FlashSystem 5015 and FlashSystem 5035 as these do not support Policy-based replication or Policy-based High Availability. | ||
| + | * Multiple I/O groups: | ||
| + | * FlashSystem grid is the new way to scale-out FlashSystem and SAN Volume Controller systems. Systems with multiple I/O groups cannot upgrade to this version. | ||
| + | * SAN Volume Controller (but not FlashSystem) will allow multiple I/O groups to be configured on the next long-term support (LTS) release. | ||
| + | * Ethernet-based clustering | ||
| + | * iSER host attach | ||
| + | * Nondistributed RAID | ||
