- Loading and drawing processes of the performance view were significantly improved without delaying the GUI. They can also be canceled now
- Long lasting data load processes can now be interrupted.
- The performance view for node ports classifies the data and IO rate now according to 'node to local node' and 'node to remote node'.
- All object types in the topology path can now be set behind the object types 'node' and 'IO group'.
- The VDisks which are potentially running viausing a specific node port can now easily by represented by the node´s context menu in the performance view.
- SVC code version 7.5 beta toleration support

| BVQ | BVQ GUI | Modifications in a GUI configuration file, regarding the scanner status checks are necessary when a topology scanner interval > 30min is configured. Please, contact the BVQ support in this case. |
| BVQ | BVQ Excel Export | The Excel-format generated by BVQ Reporting is compatible with Excel Version 2003 and higher. |
| BVQ | BVQ Scanner / Scheduler | New features for scanner or scheduler which were unlocked by a new license file will take effect after about 2 hours or after restart of the corresponding services. |
| IBM PMR 91765,033,724 | SVC 6.2.0.3 | Severe impairment of the VDisk latency by the SVC CLI command 'lsmdiskextent'. Seen at a cluster with 8 nodes (8G4) under 6.1.0.4. Starting with BVQ 2.4.3 this command is not used anymore. Instead command 'Isvdiskextent' is used. |
IBM PMR | SVC 6.4.0.3 | Massive accumulation of reaching the SVC limit of 10 simultaneously competitive SSH sessions can trigger a warm restart of the node. |
| BVQ-6610 | BVQ VMware | Multiple mappings of a VM virtual disk (and/or of different snapshot versions of a single VM) to a VM virtual machine are not supported yet. This happens for example with flash copy managers like TSM4VE. |
| BVQ-6623 | BVQ VMware | Scan and representation snapshots and thier capacities are not yet supported by BVQ. The 'Used Capacity' of a VM Virtual disk corresponds currently to the 'Used Capacity' of the original VMDK file. |
| BVQ | BVQ VMware | Currently not supported VMware functions:

| IBM PMR ? | SVC Performance Stats | Starting with version 6.1.0.1 SLAV, PLAV and DLAV refer to the consolidated backend IO sizes of up to 256k. But not the IO-counter for CTRM and CTP, which means that their quotient may be too low by a factor of 8. Therefore, the VDisk below cache metrics SLAV and PLAV cannot be used directly to assess the backend latencies. Also their transaction size is not the same of the backend (max 32k). However, CTD was adapted to the consolidated IO sizes and provides continuously useful values. |
| IBM PMR ? | SVC 7.3 Performance Stats | Legacy VDisk cache statistics corrupted |
| IBM PMR ? | SVC 7.3 Performance Stats | Node CPU core stats =0 |
| IBM Defect 197194 | SVC 7.3 Performance Stats | CPT, OPT, APT much too high |
| IBM PMR ? | SVC 7.4 Performace Stats | CPU core COMP (compression) statistics too high (factor ~100). |
