Changes and New Features

XDR Support

Added XDR support readiness (based on XDR setup simulations only).

Added support for UFM Network topology planarized network.

Switch NVOS Support

Added support for NVOS switches in UFM.

Device Access

Added the ability to record two sets of switch login credentials on UFM. Refer to Device Access.

InfiniBand Cluster Procedures Automation

Upon UFM startup, the following procedures are initiated:

• Generate default Fabric health - Refer to Fabric Health Tab.

• Validate cluster topology - Refer to Topology Compare Tab.

• Obtain and keep the UFM's initial system dump - Refer to UFM System Dump Tab.

Secondary Telemetry

• Added the " rq_general_error" field to support retrieving the number of packet drops due to MPR mismatch.

• Added support for reporting cable length information for NDR optic cables.

• Added support for retrieving cable information for downed ports.

• Added switch/module power usage data in UFM telemetry.

For more information, refer to Low-Frequency (Secondary) Telemetry Fields.

Events Simulation

Added the ability to simulate any event from the Events policy tab. Refer to Events Policy Simulation.

Unhealthy Port Enhancement

Added the ability to display valid unhealthy port information (eliminating non-zero port values) when added manually. Refer to Unhealthy Ports Window.

REST APIs

Unhealthy Ports REST API: Added the ability to return device state (healthy/unhealthy). Refer to NVIDIA UFM Enterprise REST API Guide → Unhealthy Ports REST API

Add switch/module power usage data in UFM telemetry. Refer to NVIDIA UFM Enterprise REST API Guide → Systems REST API

Plugins

Enhanced Plugins management infrastructure.

GNMI-Telemetry Plugin: Added support for streaming gNMI events and restricted authentication via client SAN pinning/filtering on the gNMI plugin server-side.

UFM Telemetry Manager (UTM) Plugin: Added a new plugin to monitor and manage running UFM Telemetry instances.

UFM Consumer Plugin: Added a new plugin that serves as a Multi-Subnet consumer within UFM, offering all the functionalities available for Multi-Subnet UFM.

PDR Deterministic Plugin: Updated high BER analysis with the up-to-date high BER algorithm.

Autonomous Link Maintenance (ALM) Plugin: Added the following capabilities:

• Model configuration

• Configure to reset both ports after isolation

• Reflect model performance to the user

UFM Telemetry Fluentd Streaming (TFS) Plugin: Added an option to the TFS to stream the data using the CLX C streamer instead of the Python streamer.
