There are no resolved issues with this release.

Known Issues

• CWP-3973: Carbon Black Cloud console displays unreachable appliance as eligible

  On the Carbon Black Cloud console, from the Inventory > Workloads > Not Enabled tab, you can filter VMs based on the Eligibility status. Some eligible VMs are listed with a note 'Not eligible. Unreachable appliance' if the on-premise appliance is unable to communicate with the Carbon Black Cloud. Even though the appliance is unreachable, the Carbon Black Cloud console displays the unreachable appliance under the Eligible filter.

  Workaround: None

• CWP-11472: Upgrading Carbon Black Cloud Workload appliance fails if it is not registered with the vCenter Server

  Workaround: Register the appliance with the vCenter Server prior upgrading it to version 1.2. For details, see Register Appliance with vCenter Server.

• CWP-11502: Upgrading Carbon Black Cloud Workload appliance fails when there is discrepancy between the appliance version in Carbon Black Cloud and the actual appliance version

  Workaround: Carbon Black Cloud and the Carbon Black Cloud Workload appliance must be always in sync on the appliance version. For example, to upgrade successfully the appliance from versio 1.0.2 to version 1.1.2, make sure the version of the appliance is 1.0.2 in the cloud as well.

• CWP-13357: Upgrading NSX from 4.0.0.1 to 4.0.1 incorrectly preserves the previous version of NSX in the Carbon Black Cloud Workload appliance

  When you upgrade NSX to 4.0.1 and register it successfully with the Carbon Black Cloud Workload appliance, you can view the previous 4.0.0.1 version of NSX in the Appliance > Registration > NSX details page. However, you can view the correct 4.0.1 version of NSX in the About VMware NSX pop-up, part of the NSX console UI.

  Workaround: None.

• CWP-15239: Sensor installation completes, even though there are wrong parameters in the custom configuration

  When you specify a custom sensor configuration in the process of installing your Carbon Black Linux sensor, the installation completes successfully even if there are wrong parameters in the config.ini file.

• New - CWP-17783: Unable to enable CB host module on VC/ESX 7.0 u3

  There is no workaround at this time.

• EA-23491: Host module enablement from Carbon Black Cloud console fails for vCenter 8.0 U1 and 8.0 U2

  This feature is required only for instant cloning, which is a primary requirement for VDIs.
