Spaces getting low in Beta

Well.. I don't know what happened this week, but I had a number of new people ask to get into the Beta. I have only 100 spots to be able to provide beta code, and I have 75 people in now. If you know anyone that wants in, you should let them know soon. As I've said a dozen times now I'm going to work on getting it released to iTunes so I won't have this problem anymore.

I'm on vacation this week from work, but still trying to cover beta requests as I can. Sorry if it took a few days to get you a build.

Happy Independence Day

I hope you all had a great 4th of July (if you are in the USA that is). Otherwise, hopefully you had a good weekend. I've got a lot of good feedback and fixed a few bugs in the last few weeks, and I think I'm close enough now to focus on getting a iTunes capable release out the door. Once that's done I can spend more time working on features and fixing bugs and not making builds and adding people to the development lists I have to keep track of.

Thanks everyone, have a great week. I'm going to be on vacation all week, but still watching e-mail for issues.

Version 2.6.12

I've mostly fixed the bug in the protocols vs the settings. If they match it should not be a problem. If they don't match you should get an error, and it should try to make an secure connection. Please let me know if you see any problems.

BTW, you don't need to enter a full URL into the hostname field. Just use the IP address, or hostname. eg. 10.10.20.1 or myucs.mycompany.com

Web Protocol Bug in 2.6.11

Seenivasan just found a bug in the hostname field on the main page. Security is controlled by the setting on the info screen (i) button in the top right corner. You do not need to type http or https in the hostname field. They will have no effect on the protocol used. The application originally would not use SSL, so I gave an error if you typed "https://hostname" in the field. I since have changed it to use SSL, but I forgot to remove that check.

Please just use the hostname (no http:// or https:// prefix) in the hostname field for UCSM. I've already fixed this for the next version.

Version 2.6.11 is available

I've added a button tot he info screen that will allow you to turn off SSL. This will allow the software to be used with the UCSM simulator available on the Cisco web site at http://developer.cisco.com/web/unifiedcomputing. This option needs to be turned off each time you run the application. There are some known issues with the simulator that can be found in the forums. There may be more problems, but it's a sim, so you can't really break anything. :)

Unless you want to run unsecured XML over HTTP, there is no reason to upgrade to this version.

Minor changes in version 2.6.10

I'm still cleaning up the code and making some minor cosmetic changes. This includes verifying your device has a network connection prior to connecting to the UCSM.

Version 2.6.9 fixes problems

Everyone,

Please upgrade to version 2.6.9. There were two major errors (nothing that would hurt your systems) in 2.6.7. One prevented anything from being changed on the Active Server detail screen, and one that displayed the wrong information on the chassis screen if you have more than one chassis. Thanks Gilles for finding the second one.
