Introduction
These release notes contain supplemental information about the General Availability release of Rubrik CDM
version 6.0.
New features
Rubrik CDM version 6.0 has new features.
Feature Description
Improved performance and larger workloads
Large File Sharding For file server workloads with small individual files, parallelized fetching of
the files allows efficient and fast backups. For specialized workloads where
individual files can range from hundreds of gigabytes to terabytes in size, the
files are now sharded into multiple smaller chunks to allow for parallel ingest
and restore.
Oracle Advanced Cloning Oracle Advanced Cloning Options (AOC) offer the following improvements:
Options
• Intuitive ACO UI allows easy data entry and validation of ACO parameters
• Option for Pre/Post recovery scripts for managing additional tasks
Support for Oracle Data Rubrik supports Oracle Active Data Guard environments protection through the
Guard backup from standby following improvements:
• Enhanced SLA Domain automation for centralized management of primary
and standby databases through Data Guard groups
• Ability to offload database backups to a standby database
• Failover and switchover awareness for Data Guard environments
Faster Hyper-V backups Hyper-V backup and restore performance is improved and storage space is
reduced through cross-deduplication.
Additional enterprise features
Multifactor Authentication Multifactor Authentication or TOTP-based two-step verification is critical
protection against compromise due to stolen login credentials. Multifactor
Authentication is an implementation of two-factor authentication (2FA) for
local or LDAP users. TOTP-based two-step verification uses a standard mobile
authentication application from Google, Microsoft, Okta, or other vendors to
provide a single-use numeric code that serves as the second authentication
factor.
Adaptive throttling of Adaptive throttling reduces performance degradation on older or slower
backups NAS hosts by measuring the latency during a file backup. If high latencies
are detected, Rubrik will throttle down ongoing file backups to reduce the
load on the host. If the degradation was caused by the Rubrik backup load,
then reducing the concurrent file access should restore performance to an
acceptable state.
CDP 24-hour log retention CDP log retention is increased from 4 hours to 24 hours.
SQL Server host-level The most common SQL options are configurable at a SQL host level through
configurability Rubrik Support in addition to the previously available Rubrik cluster level.
CLI enhancements
Support for hostname Hostnames can be edited through the Rubrik CLI.
changes
Bulk node remove Bulk node removal is supported through the Rubrik CLI.
Known issues
Some known issues exist for Rubrik CDM 6.0.
Ticket Issue
CDM-261417 In Rubrik CDM 6.0.0, the Rubrik CLI cluster command, vlan_segregation_feature_control, is
not functional.
CDM-261364 When initiating a Live Mount or an Instant Recovery of a VMware virtual machine through
the Rubrik CDM web UI, a new "Select Networks" step is added. VMware virtual machines
using the Instantly Recover option must select the appropriate production network in the
"Select Networks" step to ensure the Instantly Recover virtual machine is connected to the
correct network.
CDM-259222 An HPE DL360 cluster cannot be upgraded to Rubrik CDM 6.0.0.
CDM-246043 When a protected object is moved, the SLA Domain policy does not keep the original
SLA Domain setting but inherits the settings of the new location. Settings lost through
inheritance can include Retention Locks on the SLA Domain or loss of VMware tag settings.
To work around this issue, any protected objects that are moved should have the SLA
Domain settings reset to the original settings.
CDM-243864 A Windows virtual machine restored through a mount point to the original location might
fail. To work around the issue, restore the virtual machine to the specified mount point.
Technical notes
The following notes provide information related to features in this release.
In Rubrik CDM 6.0, the One-Time Key Rotation dialog box deprecates the option to allow Rubrik to decrypt data
in the event of a disaster recovery scenario. Any existing recovery keys cannot be decrypted.
Starting with Rubrik CDM 6.0, the Job > Failed backup for a protected object SNMP trap is deprecated.
Starting with Rubrik CDM 6.0, Rubrik Edge and Rubrik Air instances have a minimum memory requirement of
16 GB. The minimum and recommended amount of memory and IOPS configuration for different Rubrik Edge
and Rubrik Air is specified in the Rubrik Edge Installation and Upgrade Guide and the Rubrik Air Installation
and Upgrade Guide.
Starting with Rubrik CDM 6.0.1, Supermicro systems have bootstrap enhancements, which include information
on chassis ID, node position, and bond0/bond1 link status.
Starting in Rubrik CDM 6.0.1, automated garbage collection of metadata of remote VMware and Microsoft SQL
archived objects without usable snapshots is enabled. After an upgrade to Rubrik CDM 6.0.1, anything removed
by the automated garbage collection is not displayed in the Rubrik CDM web UI in capacity reports. This
enhances automated garbage collection that was implemented in Rubrik CDM 5.3.1 for metadata of source-side
VMware and Microsoft SQL objects.
Internal API
The Rubrik CDM REST API internal path has changes in Rubrik CDM 6.0.0.
Deprecation
Breaking changes
• Renamed field node to nodeId for object NetworkInterface used by GET /cluster/{id}/
network_interface.
• Removed compliance24HourStatus in DataSourceTableRequest for POST /report/
data_source/table. Use complianceStatus, awaitingFirstFull, and snapshotRange as
replacements.
• Changed the sort_by attribute of GET /vcd/vapp to use VcdVappObjectSortAttribute. This
attribute no longer uses the VappCount or ConnectionStatus parameters from the previously used
VcdHierarchyObjectSortAttribute.

New features
• Added new endpoint for querying LDAP domain names. GET /ldap_service/domain_name

DELETE /v1/cluster/{id}/security/truststore PATCH /v1/cluster/{id}/security/
truststore
• Added new field isOnSnapMirrorDestVolume to HostHierarchyObjectSummary returned by GET /
host/hierarchy/{id}/children.
• Added new endpoint, GET /volume_group/{id}/request/force_full_snapshot. This endpoint
retrieves the configuration used to force a full snapshot of a Volume Group.
• Added new endpoint, POST /volume_group/{id}/request/force_full_snapshot. This endpoint
requests to force a full snapshot of a Volume Group.
• Added new endpoint, POST /archive/location/{id}/owner/disable to disable archival location.
• Added new endpoint, POST /archive/location/{id}/owner/enable to enable archival location.
