Note: The 2130C appliance does not support ExtremeCloud Edge - Managed Orchestration deployments.
XCACP-637	Non-Persistent Connection to ExtremeCloud The new CloudOps Management setting provides control over the state of the connection that the cluster uses to receive application firmware updates. By default, this connection is persistent (set to ON). However, with this update, you can toggle the state of the connection to OFF. Note: A persistent connection is required, and is mandatory, during software maintenance windows. If the state was changed to OFF, please ensure that the state is re-enabled for upcoming upgrade/Maintenance windows. Extreme Networks provides advanced notice on upcoming firmware upgrade maintenance windows at least 1 week in advance. However, such access may also be required during service escalation resolution or pre-emptive adjustments. For more information, see ExtremeCloud Edge - Managed Orchestration Deployment Guide.
XCACP-736	Readiness Assessment for ExtremeCloud IQ Installation The Readiness Assessment helps you check for errors in your settings before you configure your system for an ExtremeCloud Edge - Managed Orchestration deployment. Run the assessment immediately prior to installing the ExtremeCloud IQ engine. The assessment does the following: Pulls service groups and ports for inbound and outbound connections. Lets you enter the IP addresses that you plan to deploy. Tests your configuration and reports the results. If you have errors, reconfigure your system and then run the assessment again. Once you receive a PASS, you can proceed to register your cluster with your Public ExtremeCloud IQ account. Registering the cluster provides basic connectivity information from which CloudOPS can then proceed with Extreme Cloud application(s) deployment. Note: Make sure that your firewall is configured to allow connectivity to the assessment server at ucp0-console.extremecloudiq.com.
