v3.0.2

This is the patch release to fix issues observed in the v3.0.0 and v3.0.1 releases.

Notable Changes

• Allow disabling useCSINodeID feature. Pod fails to come up when useCSINodeID feature is disabled. See #2373 for detail.

v2.7.2

Notable Changes

This patch release includes a fix for the issue where the cached session gets logged out due to a race condition occurring when multiple methods attempt to connect to the vCenter simultaneously. As a result, the CSI Driver fails to authenticate the session, leading to unsuccessful volume operations.

Please see #2411 , #2155 and #2157 for more detail.

Note: This issue has already been resolved in the v3.0.x releases.

v3.0.1

This is the patch release to fix issues observed in the v3.0.0 release.

Notable Changes

• Fixed a bug in the CSI full sync that caused the Delete PVC operation to fail due to the deletion of the CNSVolumeInfo CR. More information can be found at #2327
• Resolved the panic observed in the syncer container during the full sync process. The panic occurred when stale CNS Volumes were deleted when the corresponding PV was not present in the Kubernetes cluster. Refer to #2347 for more detail.

v2.7.1

Notable Changes

• New sidecar versions and CVE fixes. For information, see 2304.

v3.0.0

Notable Changes

• Support for Kubernetes version 1.27.
• Support for Kubernetes version 1.26
• Deployment of vSphere Container Storage Plug-in across multiple vCenter Server instances.
  Note: vSphere Container Storage Plug-in does not support datastores shared across vCenter Server instances.
• Automatically generated cluster IDs.
• GA support for raw block volumes.
• GA support for XFS file system.
• GA support of vSphere Container Storage Plug-in for Windows.
• List Volumes API. The API returns a list of volumes along with a list of nodes that have the volumes attached. By default, Kubernetes calls the List Volumes API every minute. This interval is configurable. With the List Volumes API, Kubernetes and vCenter Server can reconcile the asynchronous states of volume-to-node attachment. This functionality can be helpful in those cases when Kubernetes shows the volume as attached to the node, but the storage infrastructure shows the sate as not attached.
