Version: 3.6.0.16 Date: July 5th, 2017
New FeaturesJetPatch 3.6 includes the following features
New SMBv2 protocolFollowing the recent vulnerabilities discovered in the CIFS/SMBv1 protocol, JetPatch now supports SMBv2 instead. The default mode (if no configuration is specified) is currently CIFS, but will change to SMB2 in the next JetPatch version. CIFS mode is now considered deprecated, and will be removed in a future version. In order to switch existing deployments of JetPatch to SMBv2, go to intigua.config.xml file and replace <priority>CIFS</priority> with <priority>SMB2</priority> (Server restart required)
Support for WinRM protocolThe WinRM protocol has been added for JetPatch Connector deployments. The support for WinRM will allow for the initial deployment only and communication with the JetPatch Connector will then resume VIA the Web/vSphere/SMB/SSH protocols normally according to the priority configuration. To enable WinRM, enter this line <priority>WINRM_SMB</priority> above <priority>SMB2</priority> (Server restart required)
vSphere protocol optimizationsJetPatch can communicate with vCenter Virtual Machines VIA the hypervisor channel, a protocol that has been optimized and improved in JetPatch 3.6.The ability to fine tune the vSphere communication protocol has been added allowing to now set the maximum vCenter calls per minute for any vCenter discovery source.
New server statisticsBasic monitoring of servers is now available in JetPatch. The following columns have been added to servers tab:
To control the monitoring sampling intervals, go to the relevant JetPatch service and modify the attribute 'Get servers statistics every' in Container tab. Make sure to reconfigure the desired servers with the modified service in order to apply your change.
Search management services on deploymentWhen applying a management service on a server, it is now possible to search for the required service in addition to selecting it from a dropdown list.
(Beta) New Services PageThe old library tab is being gradually being shifted to the new console. Now every tool has the management services listed in the new Compliance Dashboard UI. The ability to create and remove management services can now be done using the new UI.
(Beta) API for Creating servicesControl the amount of time without communication before a managed server gets labeled as "disconnected". This is another tool for optimizing and fine-tuning the communication between JetPatch and managed servers. Go to advanced settings and set 'Show server as disconnected after' as required. It is recommended to modify this only when your environment contains servers that do not communicate with JetPatch via HTTPS, and there are rate limits on hypervisor-based communication with managed servers. For example, set a high value when your VMs communicate via vSphere and the number of vCenter calls is limited.
