Igiko Management Tools 5.2
New features
Interface for Network adapter auto-configuration feature
To configure the Network adapter auto-configuration feature, you no longer need to manually edit the Igiko.exe.config file, now you can do this through the interface inside the application. You can control the activation of the feature and set parameters for it:
Default gateway
DNS Servers
IP Pool.
Interface for VM packages configuration
VM packages configuration, which was previously performed by editing the vmpackages.json file, can now also be performed through the application interface. You can create, edit, and delete VM packages. For each vm package, you can configure:
Name and description that will be visible to users
Number of CPU cores
RAM Capacity
Volumes of system and additional disks
Number of network adapters
In addition, you can enable or disable the Custom package, which allows you to set arbitrary characteristics for a VM.
Interface for VM templates configuration
VM template configuration, which was previously performed by creating and editing the vmtemplates.json file, can now also be executed in the igiko interface. You can create, edit, and delete templates. For each template, you can configure:
Name and description that will be visible to users
The path to the virtual disk
Configuration template support (Can the user who creates the VM set the username, password, and server name)
Interface for common VM settings
In addition to the settings described above, you can use the interface to perform a number of other settings that previously could only be changed by editing the Igiko.exe.config file. The settings include:
The path to the ISO images directory
The path to the directory where the created VMs will be located
The name of the virtual switch that will connect to the virtual machines being created.
Enabling the feature, for setting the VLAN, for each user
In addition, after changing the specified settings, you no longer need to restart Igiko, the settings will be applied immediately.
Permissions for Vm Packages and templates
Permissions support is implemented for VM templates and packages. You can grant permissions to your selected vm packages and templates for specific users and groups.
Users who have received the permission to the vm package will be able to create virtual machines with the specified set of characteristics, and users who have received the permission to the vm template will be able to create a virtual machine from the specified template.
As part of the permissions settings for the vm package, you can grant the permission to the custom package (if enabled), and then users who have the permission to it will be able to create virtual machines with an arbitrary set of characteristics.
At the same time, the management of VM packages and VM templates is available only to administrators, and cannot be enabled for regular users using permissions.
Checking the connection to SQL Server
For the convenience of adding backups of SQL Server databases, the ability to verify data for connection to SQL Server has been added to the backup creation form.
Grouping settings
All sections with settings, as well as diagnostics of virtual machines are grouped on one page, which can be opened by clicking the Settings button on the virtual machines page.
Fixes
Generation of reports
The generation of reports on virtual machines and hosts has been fixed, namely, problems with column alignment, lack of styles when creating a report in Mozilla Firefox have been fixed, and their appearance has been improved overall.
Moving windows
When resizing the browser window, Igiko windows will also move. This feature has been added so that when the browser window is reduced, the application windows do not disappear from view.
