5.3.9 Release Notes

General

Version 5.3.9 of the Everpure vSphere HTML Remote Client Plugin supports vSphere (vCenter and ESXi) version 6.7U3 and later and Purity version 6.1.x and later. Users can upgrade to this version of the plugin via deploying the Everpure VMware Appliance. This version is certified with VMware.

Important notices regarding the vSphere Client Plugin:

• Starting in vSphere 8.0, VMware no longer supports local plugins to be installed in vCenter (Everpure vSphere Plugin versions 4.5.2 and below). Please use the remote versions of Everpure's vSphere plugin (Everpure vSphere Plugin versions 5.0.0 and above). For more information please refer to this VMware KB.

• This version of the plugin uses the VMware Remote Plugin Architecture

  • More information on the VMware Remote Plugin Architecture can be found

    here.

  • More information on why Everpure is using this can be found here.

• Release notes for Everpure's VMware Appliance (OVA) can be found at this page. Everpure's remote vSphere plugin can be updated independently of the appliance. The VMware appliance can be downloaded here. The installation guide for the remote vSphere plugin can be found here

Fixed Issues

• TMAN-20811: Unable to resize vVol datastore via plugin, throwing out error "missing required field: oldName"

Known Issues

• [TMAN-19146] - If an array's management ports were accessible upon adding the array to the vSphere plugin and later became inaccessible, loading certain windows in the vSphere plugin might take greater than 10 minutes. To workaround this issue there are currently two options:

  1. Wait until the array list populates in the vSphere plugin screen and remove the inaccessible array

  2. If the vSphere environment has only had Pure's remote plugin installed, un-registering the plugin and registering it again should clear out the array connections that existed and the existing accessible arrays can be added back.
