A number of new Qlustar features were completed recently and published
together with the latest security updates.
Version 13.2.0 further improves QluMan with the addition of:
- An informative HOST OVERVIEW TABLE [1]. It provides a tabular
overview of all the hosts in a cluster split by networks. Tabs at
the top allow to select the network one is interested in. In each
tab, the IP ranges allocated in the chosen network are shown at the
top and a list of hosts with their most important config parameters
below. An on-the-fly string/regex filter can be applied to the lists
restricting the view to the hosts matched.
- New GUI options to fine-tune the LDAP PASSWORD POLICY [2]. This
makes it easy to control user password quality and protection
against brute-force attacks with appropriate settings.
- The possibility to ASSIGN A LUSTRE LNET NAME [3] to the network
adapters of nodes and generate a new config file to bring up LNet
during boot of Lustre nodes.
- The automatic creation of a new configuration file during boot that
lists a node's QluMan Generic Properties and their values. This
allows to use freely definable Generic Properties as a general
key/value store in customization scripts on Qlustar nodes.
AlmaLinux was updated to version 8.8 with this release.
