  • PR 2039186: VMware vSphere Virtual Volumes metadata might not be updated with associated virtual machines and make virtual disk containers untraceable

    vSphere Virtual Volumes set with VMW_VVolType metadata key Other and VMW_VVolTypeHint metadata key Sidecar might not get VMW_VmID metadata key to the associated virtual machines and cannot be tracked by using IDs.

    This issue is resolved in this release.

  • PR 2119610: Migration of a virtual machine with a Filesystem Device Switch (FDS) on a vSphere Virtual Volumes datastore by using VMware vSphere vMotion might cause multiple issues

    If you use vSphere vMotion to migrate a virtual machine with file device filters from a vSphere Virtual Volumes datastore to another host, and the virtual machine has either of the Changed Block Tracking (CBT), VMware vSphere Flash Read Cache (VFRC) or I/O filters enabled, the migration might cause issues with any of the features. During the migration, the file device filters might not be correctly transferred to the host. As a result, you might see corrupted incremental backups in CBT, performance degradation of VFRC and cache I/O filters, corrupted replication I/O filters, and disk corruption, when cache I/O filters are configured in write-back mode. You might also see issues with the virtual machine encryption.

    Тhis issue is resolved in this release.

  • PR 2145089: vSphere Virtual Volumes might become unresponsive if an API for Storage Awareness (VASA) provider loses binding information from the database

    vSphere Virtual Volumes might become unresponsive due to an infinite loop that loads CPUs at 100% if a VASA provider loses binding information from the database. Hostd might also stop responding. You might see a fatal error message.

    This issue is resolved in this release. This fix prevents infinite loops in case of database binding failures.

  • PR 2146206: vSphere Virtual Volumes metadata might not be available to storage array vendor software

    vSphere Virtual Volumes metadata might be available only when a virtual machine starts running. As result, storage array vendor software might fail to apply policies that impact the optimal layout of volumes during regular use and after a failover.

    This issue is resolved in this release. This fix makes vSphere Virtual Volumes metadata available at the time vSphere Virtual Volumes are configured, not when a virtual machine starts running.
