Feature Release 19

In Feature Release 11.19, release versioning terms and numbering conventions were changed.

The following release versioning terms were changed:

• "Version" was changed to "platform release".
• "Service pack" was changed to "feature release".
• "Hotfix pack" was changed to "maintenance release".

The release versioning numbering convention was also changed. In Service Pack 18 and older service packs, the version of the software was referred to as "Version 11" or "V11", and the service pack was referred to as "Service Pack 18" or "SP18". In Feature Release 11.19 and newer releases, the release version is expressed as a combination of the platform release, the feature release, and the maintenance release. For example, a release version of 11.19.5 refers to Platform Release 11, Feature Release 11.19, and Maintenance Release 5.

Feature Release 19

Virtual Server Agent (all hypervisors)

For Feature Release 19 and more recent feature releases, when an IntelliSnap backup includes multiple VMs, if a backup copy job for a specific VM cannot be completed, the backup copy job goes to pending and then retries the backup copy operation, up to the maximum number of job attempts that is configured for the Job Manager. (By default, the number of job attempts is 10.)

Any backup copy jobs that do not complete successfully after the maximum number of attempts are marked as Completed with Errors. If backup copy jobs for any VMs do not complete successfully after the maximum number of attempts, the associated IntelliSnap backup job is marked as Completed with Errors.

For service packs prior to Feature Release 19, if a backup copy operation was successful for any VM in an IntelliSnap backup job, the IntelliSnap backup job was marked as Completed with Errors if backup copy operations were unsuccessful for other VMs that were part of the IntelliSnap backup job, and any unsuccessful backup copy operations for the remaining VMs were not retried.
