Release details

For release dates and build numbers, see KB87944.

Upgrade support

New or changed

• SELinux support — This release supports SELinux for RPM based machines such as RHEL 8 and RHEL 9. If you choose to enable SELinux, a policy needs to be loaded on RHEL 8 and RHEL 9 endpoints that allow the kernel module to be inserted. For fresh installs and upgrades, the policy is seamlessly loaded using install scripts. As a result, installation and upgrade happen smoothly with no blockages in the kernel module. For information about supported SELinux modes, see KB91660.

• XFS file system support — This release adds support for the XFS file system on SUSE.

• New deployment option in Change Control — This release supports a new deployment option for large container deployments such as clusters with a Change Control license. This option is implemented to avoid performance issues during large deployments.

  Note: The deployment option does not work in Application Control.

  You can enable or disable the deployment option in Change Control using these commands:

  • To enable, run this command:

    sadmin deploy-on

  • To disable, run this command:

    sadmin deploy-off
