Note: Some new features are disabled or hidden until the firmware of all devices in the account are up to date.

Changes in 7.2.2 (9/9/2022)

• Optimization for macOS clients
  • Performance option when macOS client opens large network share folder
  • This option applies to all shares. The default is OFF.
  • After ALL CacheDrives have been updated to 7.2.2, enable this option in MCM > Account > User Preferences > "Optimize for macOS clients"
  • When enabled, a macOS client's browsing large folders is faster. On the other hand, writing many small files could be slightly slower.

• Morro Audit and Diagnostics
  • Morro Audit: bug fixes
  • Diagnostics: improve upload status for large files

Changes in 7.2.0 (8/20/2022)

  • Upgrade to 7.2.0 will take longer than usual if the disk already has large data and is fragmented.
  • Subsequent upgrades will not take as long if the disk is not fragmented heavily.

  • Support hot standby CacheDrive
• Identity Management
  • More IDaaS options
  • Improvements for Azure AD Domain Services
  • Support LDAP on-prem option
• Audit and Diagnostics
  • Improvements in Morro Audit
  • Improvements in Diagnostics, Disk Health, etc.
    • Alert emails are now sent when bad sectors exist. The existence of bad sectors is normal as they are replaced by spare sectors. ONLY a rapid increase of bad sectors in a small time window may indicate that the disk is in need of replacement. Please consult with Morro Support for questions.
  • Support scheduled reboot/shutdown
• Team Portal
  • More granularity in role-based function management
  • "Manage Versions" function (for folder) is disabled until after updating all devices' firmware to 7.2.0.
  • GA (Global Admin) is not allowed to "Manager Versions" by default, and BA (Business Admin) needs to allow it explicitly by unchecking "Do not allow GA to manage all files as admin".
