Version End of Life. 31 July 2020
This is a bugfix release.
Improvements, new features and functionality
When installing from an RPM, the installation would
automatically restart the connector during the installation.
This behavior can now be controlled by setting the parameter
no-connectors within the ini
configuration. This will prevent tpm from
restarting the connectors during the automated update
processing.
Issues: CT-792
A new Nagios compatible check script has been added to the release, check_tungsten_policy, which returns the currently active policy mode.
Issues: CT-675
For more information, see The check_tungsten_policy Command.
Do not try to backup a witness server.
Issues: CT-669
Include additional views of cctrl output in tpm diag (cctrl_status_simple_SVCNAME).
Issues: CT-681
The MySQL MyISAM check seems to fail intermittantly with no way to bypass it so the check has been disabled completely.
Issues: CT-756
During the lifetime of the cluster, switches may happen and the
current Primary may well be a different node than what is
reflected in the static ini file in the
master= line. Normally, this difference is
ignored during and update or an upgrade.
However, if a customer has some kind of procedure (i.e.
automation) which hand-edits the ini configuration file
master= line at some point, and such
hand-edits do not reflect the current reality at the time of the
update/upgrade, an update/upgrade will fail and the cluster may
be left in an indeterminate state.
The best practice is to NOT change the
master= line in the INI configuration file
after installation.
Changed tpm check CurrentTopologyCheck from
WARN to ERROR to prevent changed master=
lines in ini files from breaking updates and upgrades.
Even with this fix, there is still a window of opportunity for
failure. The update will continue, passing the
CurrentTopologyCheck test and potentially
leaving the cluster in an indeterminate state if the
master= option is set to a hostname that is
not the current Primary or the current host.
Issues: CT-801
Remove any clear-text passwords gathered via tpm diag.
Issues: CT-822
mysql_checker_query script was returning unexpected errors and
creating false positives. Changed the script logic to use the
timestampdiff function for better accuracy.
Issues: CT-824
Change the Manager behavior so as to place the replicator online asynchronously to prevent cctrl from hanging if a Replica replicator is put online while the Primary is offline. Now, if the Primary is offline the Replica will go into the SYNCHRONIZING state. As the Primary comes online the Replicas will come online as well.
