Features Released in Software Version 3.0.1-b697160 (August 2022)

Compute Instance Availability

When compute instances go down because of a compute node reboot or failure, the system takes measures to recover the compute instances automatically. For details, see Compute Instance Availability in the Oracle Private Cloud Appliance Concepts Guide.

Optimized NUMA Alignment

Algorithm optimizations are in place to ensure that the hypervisor assigns compute instances on physical resources (CPU and memory) with best possible alignment to compute node NUMA architecture. For details, see Physical Resource Allocation in the Oracle Private Cloud Appliance Concepts Guide.

View CPU and Memory Metrics at the Fault Domain Level

Memory and CPU usage metrics are available at the compute nodes level already. Each node belongs to a fault domain. New functionality provides the option to view these metrics at a fault domain level. For details, see Fault Domain Observability in the Oracle Private Cloud Appliance Concepts Guide, and Monitoring System Capacity in the Oracle Private Cloud Appliance Administrator Guide.

Secondary Private IP Addresses

After an instance is launched, you can attach secondary private IP addresses to the primary VNIC or to any secondary VNICs. These secondary private IP addresses are especially useful when running multiple services or endpoints on a single instance, or for instance failover scenarios.

For more information, see "About Secondary Private IPs" under "IP Addressing" in the Virtual Networking Overview chapter of the Oracle Private Cloud Appliance Concepts Guide.

For procedures, see "Assigning a Secondary Private IP Address" in the Networking chapter of the Oracle Private Cloud Appliance User Guide.
