Whats New in vDirect SDKThis section describes the new features and components introduced in this version.Please refer to vDirect SDK document for further details.

Feature 1 Enhanced Security

vDirect now supports SNMPv3 and SOAP over HTTPS for enhanced security, as follows:

SNMPv3 supportvDirect communicates with the ADC devices using SSH and SNMPv3by default.

SOAP over HTTPSvDirect SOAP is accessible via HTTPS.

Feature 2 ADC Workflow

ADC workflow enables full control of the ADC configuration lifecycle (created, update, read anddelete). It uses the rich functionality of ADC Templates as actions, while allowing you to easilybinding together the different configuration states as a single entity. ADC Workflow includes:

ADC workflow instances that capture that state of the configuration and govern what thepossible next actions are.

Handling of possible errors and reverting back to the previous state.

Support for dry runs and debugging.

Sample workflows, including examples on how to configure highly available ADC services.

Feature 3 Enhanced ADC Templates

The following enhancements are in addition to the initial feature introduced in vDirect version 1.20:

Default values for descriptors on input/output parameters, and the ability to check the ADCresponse to commands as part of the template script.

Logging as part of the ADC template using the #log directive.

Stopping the ADC template flow and returning error messages using the #error directive.

Storing meta data as part of the template using the #property directive.

Multi-ADC device operation using the #device and #select directives.

Improved matching functions ($adc.findFirstByBroadcast, $adc.findAllByBroadcast) forIPv4 addresses.

ADC CLI response inspection using ($adc.getResponse).

Feature 4 Enhanced Provisioning and Configuration of Highly Available ADC

Services The ADC service request now supports provisioning highly available symmetric ADC pairs

of two Alteon VA instances or two Alteon VX instances.

Resource management for creating the following HA configuration parameters:o IP poolso VRRP poolso ISL poolso networks

Feature 5 Enhanced CLIvDirect CLI is available as a standalone executable which is part of the vDirect client libraries, orwhen connecting via SSH to vDirect VA. The following enhancements are in addition to the vDirectCLI that was introduced in vDirect version 1.20:

ADC workflow managemento Uploading/downloading ADC workflow templates.o Instantiating, updating, deleting and debugging ADC workflow instances.

New resource management parameters:o IP poolso VRRP poolso ISL poolso networks

ADC service requests for provisioning HA pairs for Alteon VA and Alteon VX-basedtechnologies.

Enhancements introduced in version 1.30.10

Use an ADC Template without an ADC device by adding the #mockdevice(true) directive atthe beginning of an ADC template file.

Use Alteon operation commands and read information for Alteon without locking the deviceby adding the #devicelock(false) directive to the beginning of an ADC template file.

After an ADC workflow step completes, you can now store the transient property

__generatedScript as a persistent ADC Workflow property. This allows you to generate theAlteon configuration text by running an ADC workflow action.

Major bugs fixed in version 1.30.10

ADC templates fail over telnet connections with Alteon when more than the default adminuser is defined in the Alteon device. Previously, ADC templates failed over telnetconnections with Alteon when users other than the default admin user were defined in theAlteon device. Now, telnet connections are maintained with any user logon.

The Web-based UI no longer fails after inactivity of 10 days or more.

Whats New in vDirect Plug-in for VMware vCenter Orchestrator (VCO)

The plug-in is currently a major update to vDirect Plug-in for VMware vCenter Orchestrator version1.20.10.

vDirect Plug-in for VCO now requires the installation of vDirect VA in addition to installingthe vDirect Plug-in for VCO.
