Supporting component versions

Field fixes
Ticket No. Description Severity
27909 Changes were made to adjust default settings in Kubernetes Operator Pythonic Framework package to prevent API flooding in case of errors or disconnects. Normal
27033 The Storage Fusion "ibm-backup-restore" namespace must not be shown in the list of applications that are eligible for backup. This fix prevents that application from appearing with other applications as a candidate for backup. Major
27840 The metrics exporter container in mongodb pods sometimes take a while to start, causing the container to fail the liveness probe check and the pod to restart. This can cause mongodb replicaset configuration to be in an incomplete state if the restart happens while it is being configured. Therefore, the readiness probes fails because the pods are not configured as primary or secondary, which leads to Backup and Restore install being stuck. This has been fixed in 2.7. Major
27768 When authenticating by using Single Sign-On (SSO), the UI login screen may hang when using some identity providers. This has been fixed in 2.7. Normal
26921 Legacy Backup & Restore Uninstall script updated to reflect correct CR status. Normal
25674 Adding nodes to the OCP cluster failed due to the absence of the IBM serial number. The compute operator would still successfully upsize the node. The appropriate tag within the product has been set to ensure the serial number is properly assigned. Minor
