1.2. Tungsten Clustering 7.1.3 GA (25 Jun 2024)

Version End of Life. Not Yet Set

Release 7.1.3 contains a number of key bug fixes and improvements.

Warning

Due to JGroup libraries being updated in the 7.1.0 release, managers running releases older than 7.1.0 will not communicate with managers running 7.1.0+ therefore when upgrading to this release from anything older than 7.1.0, all nodes must be upgraded before proper cluster communication will be restored. Ensure the cluster is in MAINTENANCE before beginning the upgrade and do NOT SHUN nodes whilst a mix of manager versions are running.

Behavior Changes

The following changes have been made to Tungsten Cluster and may affect existing scripts and integration tools. Any scripts or environment which make use of these tools should check and update for the new configuration:

  • Command-line Tools

    • The tpm cert command now properly accepts the full file name as a typeSpec.

    • All scripts that call cctrl have been updated to use cctrl -no-routers when possible to improve performance.

      Issues: CT-2228
