Added further checks to the HA Failover Group Create to block creation of HA pools on unsupported SATA+SAS Interposer configurations. [ QSTOR-6707 ]
Added further protections to Storage System Modify when renaming the server. This prevents unsupported server names that do not meet DNS FQDN standards. [ QSTOR-6734 ]
Fixed an issue where a single Bad or Failing drive in a Storage Pool could cause an Automatic Pool HA Failover to occur. This was a regression introduced in QS 5.5.0. Only a loss of disks that would affect pool availability (such as loss of JBOD connectivity from the active node) will cause the automatic failover trigger. [ QSTOR-6998 ]
Fixed an issue with changing the name of a Storage System which is a member of a Site Cluster. [ QSTOR-1733 ]
Fixed an issue with launching the SIte Cluster Add Node Dialog soon after the site cluster has been created. [ QSTOR-7000 ]
Fixed some minor Web UI items and corner cases with Site Clusters. [ QSTOR-6695 ]

Added logic to make Manual HA Failover operations more robust in situations where network communication could be interrupted. This addresses issues where the relinquishing node may fail to export the storage pool completely before the new active node forces ownership to bring the client access online. [ QSTOR-6564 ]
Added logic to the HA failover Group where the Deactivated state ensures the HA Interface and Storage Pool remain pinned to the specific node where the HA group is located. This allows work to be performed during maintenance windows where reboot, cabling, networking or other infrastructure and/or hardware changes may be required, without concern of an automatic failover event being trigger. Manual Failover of the HA Failover Group are still allowed between nodes while in a deactivated state. Re-Activating the HA Failover group once maintenance work is completed will re-enable the automatic failover logic and associated policies. [ QSTOR-6512 ]

Fixed: After creating an HA Failover Group on a Storage Pool, the Storage Pool Grow; Add/remove Cache Device and Add/Remove Spare dialogs will now immediately update their available disk lists to include only shared drives available to both nodes. Previously a WebUI refresh was required. [ QSTOR-5753 ]
Fixed: removing the last HA VIF in a HA Failover Group now correctly transitions the HA Failover group into deactivated mode, disabling any automatic failover policies. [ QSTOR-1191 ]
Improved error messaging for corner cases when creating Site Cluster Heartbeat rings. [ QSTOR-6458 ]
Updated the HA Failover ALUA state transitions to occur slightly earlier in the failover process. [ QSTOR-6592 ]

Added filtering to the Bonded Interface create dialog that hides already configured network interfaces from the available selection by default. This helps ensure users do not accidentally re-use the same network interface that is already configured serving management or client access. Support for re-using a configured network interface to create a bonded network interface is still supported by unchecking the 'Hide Configured Ports' option and answering affirmative to the informative pop-up that appears after clicking 'ok'. [ QSTOR-6471 ]
Changed the default Network Port bonding mode on new deployments to be active-backup. [ QSTOR-6559 ]
Changed the Link-state for Network Ports that are configured as Disabled to report 'Disabled' as their link state. This helps clarify the link-state because the Network interfaces Phy is not up on the network and not able to show the actual physical link state. [ QSTOR-6506 ]
