Table 1. Enhancements

DNPSS-1054

Added support for SQL Server on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 10.

NV-4796

Added Support for clusterless read-scale SQL Server Always On Availability Groups (AG)

SQL Server 2017 and later introduces the ability to configure AGs without Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC). This configuration could be used for scenarios where read-scale capabilities are needed or where WSFC is not available. Clusterless AGs do not have automated failover capabilities, as a result requiring manual failover.

NV-4797, NV-4745

General Resolved issues

The following is the list of issues addressed in this release.
 
Table 2. General resolved issues

SQL Server plug-in installation on Windows Client to end with error message, Failed to install software. Failed to run post-install executable.

DNPSS-766

Table 3. SQL Server AlwaysOn Availability Groups (AG) resolved issues
Resolved issue
Case ID

VDI Copy-only backup job runs on the secondary replica, when the prefer secondary algorithm is selected and secondary replica is available.

DNPSS-652

In a AlwaysOn cluster, a backup operation initiates backup slave on every node in the virtual client. If the plug-in does not start in one of the nodes, the entire backup fails, even if there is nothing to be backedup on that node.

If the plug-in does not start in one of the nodes, the job ends with Job Died Status. In case the plug-in starts in other nodes, the other nodes can complete the job.

DNPSS-862

Change the level of messages related to AlwaysOn discovery:

•
Fails to login to SQL Instance '%s'
•
Unable to determine if it is AlwaysOn
•
Query to instance %s on host%s fails, unable to check for AlwaysOn support

DNPSS-989

Table 4. SQL Server on Linux resolved issues

Case ID

Restored Databases were not renamed or relocated when Restore with Rename/Relocate is selected.
