Customer Impact:

Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager Connector

Before this release: Customers using Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager, including those transitioning from the legacy Oracle VM platform, did not have a supported SIM connector for collecting OLVM virtualization inventory into SAM on Snow Atlas or Snow License Manager. This resulted in limited visibility into OLVM-managed hosts, virtual machines, clusters, and their relationships, increasing reliance on manual collection or alternative approaches.

After this release: The new connector automatically collects inventory from OLVM environments through the OLVM API and imports OLVM-managed hosts, virtual machines, clusters, and their relationships into SAM Core on Snow Atlas and Snow License Manager. This expands virtualization inventory coverage, reduces reliance on manual processes, and helps customers transitioning from Oracle VM to OLVM maintain visibility across their virtualized environments to support license-compliance processes.

For configuration information, refer to the Oracle Linux VM connector user guide.

Discovery Data From File Connector

·      The addition of the DiscoveryDate field provides a consistent discovery timestamp, improving metadata consistency and reliable processing across discovery sources.

ServiceNow ITSM Connectors

·      The configurable page size improves computer-data retrieval reliability by allowing customers to adjust the number of records retrieved according to their environment and payload size.

·      OAuth requests now use the proxy settings configured in the connector, supporting reliable ServiceNow authentication in environments that require proxy communication.

HCL BigFix Connector

·      Corrected device identity mapping prevents distinct devices from being incorrectly merged, improving device identification and host-to-virtual-machine relationships.

·      Improved pagination ensures complete processing of large datasets, reducing the risk of missing software inventory records.

·      Improved filtering validation prevents inconsistent software-instance and software-metric selections, supporting more complete and reliable inventory data.

VMware vSphere Connector

·      Preserving BIOS serial numbers exactly as reported by VMware vSphere improves consistency when comparing or combining data from multiple inventory sources.

·      Correct restoration of proxy settings allows subsequent connector operations to use the appropriate network configuration without restarting Snow Integration Manager.

BMC Discovery Connector

·      Filtering software records with missing names prevents malformed records from disrupting downstream processing while preserving valid software inventory data.

Microsoft Hyper-V Connector

·      Correct handling of UPN-formatted service accounts supports successful authentication and data aggregation against remote SCVMM servers.

Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Connector

·      Corrected host and datacenter mapping improves the accuracy of reporting, grouping, and license allocation in Snow Atlas and Snow License Manager.

Snow XML Connector

·      Allowing network adapter data without a MAC address aligns validation with the XML schema and improves XML data-processing reliability.
