Many will remember the last Base OS MP version 7303: Base OS MP’s have been updated – version 6.0.7303.0
If you are running 7303 version I recommend you update to this version as soon as your normal testing procedure and change control allows you to.
If you are running version 6.0.7297.0 or older, then I recommend you test, evaluate, and update according to your normal MP update cycle.
Changes in version 6.0.7310.0
- Several bugs located in Clustered Shared Volumes MP were fixed (see below); error handling migrated to common recommended scenario. Enabled quorum monitoring via changing the monitoring logic. The monitoring logic is splitting for Nano Server (with usage of PowerShell) and all other operation systems.
- Fixed bug: disk free space monitoring does not work on Quorum disks in failover clusters.
- Fixed bug: logical disk discovery did not discover logical disk on non-clustered server with Failover Cluster Feature enabled.
- Fixed bug: clustered shared volumes were being discovered twice – as a clustered shared volume and as a logical disk.
- Fixed bug: mount points were being discovered twice for clustered disks mounted to a folder – as a clustered Disk and as a logical disk.
- Fixed bug: Clustered Shared Volume was being discovered incorrectly when it had more than one partition (applied to discovery and monitoring).
- Added support for Nano Server Failover cluster disk monitoring: the monitoring logic was fixed based on improved cluster discovery with registry and WMI. Error handling was also corrected. Logical disk correct discoveries on non-cluster server with Failover Clustered Server Feature is installed.
- Created new overrides for Clustered Shared Volume MP, as long as the old ones did not work.
- Some cosmetic changes were introduced for cluster disk monitors alert messages.
Changes in version 6.0.7303.0
- MP used to discover physical CPU, which performance monitor instance name property was not correlated with Windows PerfMon object (expecting instance name in (socket, core) format). That affected related rules and monitors. With this release, MP discovers logical processors, rather than physical, and populates performance monitor instance name in proper format
- Microsoft.Windows.Server.ClusterSharedVolumeMonitoring.mp and Microsoft.Windows.Server.Library.mp scripts code migration to PowerShell in scope of Windows Server 2016 Nano support (relevantly introduced in Windows Server 2016 MP version 10.0.1.0).
- Updated Microsoft.Windows.Server.ClusterSharedVolumeMonitoring.ClusterSharedVolume.Monitoring.State monitor alert properties and description. The fix resolved property replacement failure warning been generated on monitor alert firing.
I’ll be testing these in detail and sharing feedback here as well.
