Availability Zones |
Availability zones let you split a multi-node cluster into separate operational zones where cluster services and applications are distributed across zones. Availability zones improve reliability, when properly scaled, by ensuring that cluster services and applications remain active even if one of the zones becomes unavailable for any reason. To deploy multiple zones, each zone requires a power supply, cooling, and connectivity that is independent of the other zones. You could deploy the different zones in a single location that is segregated according to these requirements, or deploy the zones in different geographic locations to add geographic redundancy. This feature is supported for Managed Orchestration only. Note: This feature is available for new
installations only. Existing single-zone deployments cannot be
split retroactively. To leverage this capability, an existing
installation would need to be fully decommissioned and rebuilt
from scratch with a new zone allocation. Once the number of
availability zones is defined during setup, the number of zones
cannot be changed without a complete rebuild. For details, see
ExtremeCloud Edge - Managed
Orchestration Deployment Guide for details.

SNMP Agent |
You can now configure an SNMP Agent on Universal Compute Platform using the GUI. The SNMP Agent monitors cluster services and sends logs and messages to a separate Network Management Station (NMS) server. Universal Compute Platform supports the use of either SNMPv2c or SNMPv3 for messaging. |
| Support for 10 Gbps Copper Ports | The 2130C, 3150C, and 3160C appliances now support the deployment of 10 Gbps copper port transceivers. |
| Read-only view of Cluster Configuration | Once the cluster has been created, the Cluster Configuration page switches to a read-only view of cluster settings. |
