  • The ‘destroy’ action could appear for virtual machines after rebooting on an updated Virtuozzo Hybrid Server 7.5 Update 6 node. (PSBM-158518)

  • Incorrect disk statistics in Virtuozzo Automator for a running container if the ‘.statfs’ file is in the disk folder. (PSBM-157996)

  • The systemd ‘daemon-reexec’ could break running units in a container due to incorrect ordering of command-line parameters after an update. (PSBM-157515)

(PSBM-156040)

  • Fixed an issue where containers failed to live-migrate from the node they resided with the ‘Error (criu/sockets.c:462): sockets: Can’t set 41:78 (len 4): Protocol not available’ error message. (PSBM-155340)

  • After a ReadyKernel update, a host node could fail to respond to an NDP solicitation request, and the IPv6 address was unavailable in a container. (PSBM-153018)
