|
5.21.1 |
|
5.21.0 |
-
ZST 5.21.x includes an installation behavior change that automatically configures Zing memory as part of the ZST install. This eliminates the need to run system-config-zing-memory after the ZST install.
When the ZST is installed, the default for the configuration policy is reserve-at-launch – System Zing memory will only be reserved when a ZVM process starts.
If you normally configure System Zing memory using the reserveat-config policy to guarantee that the memory is reserved at the time of the configuration, then you will need to run system-configzing-memory and select the reserve-at-config policy. Be certain that you select whether you want to use percentages of total system memory or specific amounts of memory because the defaults have changed.
-
For the reserve-at-launch policy, specify overall upper limit ofSystem Zing memory use by all ZVM processes running on the system. The reserve-at-launch policy allows you to specify amounts of memory for Reservable, Contingency and Pause Prevention that might add up to greater than 100% of the memory available on the machine. The limit on overall System Zing memory use puts an upper bound on the sum of all System Zing memory use.
-
New format and contents for the pmem.conf config file for both types of configuration policy, reserve-at-config and Elastic Zing Memory (reserve-at-launch).
|
5.20.8 |
No new features are released in 5.20.8. Miscellaneous performance improvements are included. |
5.20.7 |
-
ZST 5.20.7 provides support for control groups (cgroups) to favor memory limits on RHEL 7.x.
-
ZST 5.20.7 comes with more aggressive mode of memory allocation that may involve flushing disk caches if there is lack of memory.
|
5.20.6 |
No new features are released in 5.20.6. Miscellaneous performance improvements are included. |
5.20.5 |
-
ZST 5.20.5 provides compatibility with the newly available fixes for the recently reported Intel CPU kernel side-channel security flaws, and is required for Zing to operate on Linux distributions that have been updated to address these flaws with the addition of KPTI (kernel page table isolation). It is recommended to upgrade your ZST to ZST 5.20.5 or higher as soon as possible.
-
With ZST 5.20.5, you can switch to a supported kernel without reinstalling the ZST package.
Use notes:
-
This enhancement doesn’t include support for kernels with same ABI version .
-
It also doesn’t affect DKMS packages.
-
This enhancement doesn’t work for major OS upgrades, for example, RHEL6 to RHEL7
-
Additional support for the following operating systems:
-
Ubuntu 16.04
-
SLES 12, SLES 11 SP4
-
Oracle Linux 6, 7
-
Amazon Linux
-
RHEL/CentOS 7

5.20.2 |
-
ZST 5.20.x running ZVM 17.06.1.0 and later implement a behavior change for the default memory reservation policy. Previously, the default at the time of memory configuration was for all requested memory to be pre-allocated (reserve-at-config) at the time of configuration and, naturally, ahead of JVM startup. For the version of Zing (ZST and ZVM) downloaded from the free trial website, the default has been changed to not reserve the memory during the memory configuration but at ZVM startup.
When installing ZST 5.20.* using RPM and DEB packages, the Zing memory needs to be configured manually upon installation by running "system-config-zing-memory.” The following table shows the list of the packages that require manual memory configuration and the packages that have reserve-at-launch memory preconfigured during the installation.
| Operating System Package |
Zing Memory Configuration |
RHEL5, OEL5 (RHEL5), RHEL6, RHEL6 MRG (RHEL6), Amazon Linux (RHEL DKMS), DEB DKMS, SLES DKMS, RHEL DKMS. |

OEL6, RHEL7, OEL7, SLES11 SP4, SLES12, Ubuntu 12.04, Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 16.04. |

|
5.20.1 |
-
ZVM 17.06.1.0 and higher together with ZST 5.20.x includes an installation behavior change whereby default Zing memory is allocated at JVM startup (reserve-at-launch) as opposed to prior releases where memory is all pre-allocated (reserve-at-config) ahead of JVM startup. If your normal operational use of Zing requires pre-allocated memory, then be sure to reset the policy to reserve-at-config.
