• HPT-2710 Added support for RHEL 7.8
• HPT-2678 Added support for Centos 8.1
• HPT-2660 Support for InfiniBox 5.5
• HPT-2641 Added support for AIX 7.2 TL4
• HPT-2640 Added support for Oracle Linux 8.1

Improvements

• HPT-2696 Changed several settings in multipath.conf on Linux
  • To improve reliability the following changes are made in multipath.conf:
    • Changed failback to immediate
    • Added hardware_handler "1 alua"
    • Added detect_prio yes
     
• HPT-2664 Added support for additional QLogic HBA models
  • AK344A, SN1000Q, SN1100Q  
• HPT-2198 Automatic log rotation

Known issues

• HPT-2713 This version of Host PowerTools does not include InfiniShell. If you require InfiniShell, please install it separately. This does not have any impact on Host PowerTools functionality.
• HPT-2560 Under certain conditions, some antivirus software applications may block the HPT installation process. A workaround is available in the HPT documentation.
• HPT-1701 Host registration issues with the AIX live partition mobility feature
  • When an AIX host is configured to use live partition mobility to move lpars between hosts, there is a need for 4 adapters. Two are NPIV ports that fail between the hosts. The other two are for the partition mobility itself. When HPT performs the system register operation, it sees the two HBAs that are not defined as part of the current host. HPT prompts to either remove them or to abort the sequence before finishing.

• HPT-2560 Under certain conditions, some antivirus software applications may block the HPT installation process. A workaround is available in the HPT documentation.
• HPT-1701 Host registration issues with the AIX live partition mobility feature
  • When an AIX host is configured to use live partition mobility to move lpars between hosts, there is a need for 4 adapters. Two are NPIV ports that fail between the hosts. The other two are for the partition mobility itself. When HPT performs the system register operation, it sees the two HBAs that are not defined as part of the current host. HPT prompts to either remove them or to abort the sequence before finishing.
