&lt;h4 id=&#34;portal&#34;&gt;Portal&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Portal Exception message was unclear when a user without &amp;lsquo;ticket add&amp;rsquo; and &amp;lsquo;ticket view&amp;rsquo; permissions tried to create an upgrade order. New change accurately indicates that the user must have these two permissions in order to create an upgrade order.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h4 id=&#34;api&#34;&gt;API&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;None&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h4 id=&#34;backend&#34;&gt;Backend&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fixed two separate bugs in Endurance and Performance Storage provisioning where provisions were stalling due to API call timeout.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Some good starting reading.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://knowledgelayer.softlayer.com/procedure/endurance-replication&#34;&gt;https://knowledgelayer.softlayer.com/procedure/endurance-replication&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://knowledgelayer.softlayer.com/procedure/endurance-snapshots&#34;&gt;https://knowledgelayer.softlayer.com/procedure/endurance-snapshots&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;http://sldn.softlayer.com/reference/services/SoftLayer_Network_Storage/enableSnapshots&#34;&gt;http://sldn.softlayer.com/reference/services/SoftLayer_Network_Storage/enableSnapshots&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For more information on the magic of storage ordering see the following&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/softlayer/softlayer-python/blob/master/SoftLayer/managers/file.py&#34;&gt;https://github.com/softlayer/softlayer-python/blob/master/SoftLayer/managers/file.py&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/softlayer/softlayer-python/blob/master/SoftLayer/managers/storage_utils.py&#34;&gt;https://github.com/softlayer/softlayer-python/blob/master/SoftLayer/managers/storage_utils.py&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This example should touch on all the basics of dealing with endurance storage replication volumes. This example uses the SoftLayer-python File manager a little bit for ordering&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;TO authorize hosts that are NOT virtual guests, see the allowAccessFrom* methods in&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;http://sldn.softlayer.com/reference/services/SoftLayer_Network_Storage/&#34;&gt;http://sldn.softlayer.com/reference/services/SoftLayer_Network_Storage/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Graceful vs Immediate failover&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;http://sldn.softlayer.com/reference/services/SoftLayer_Network_Storage/immediateFailoverToReplicant&#34;&gt;http://sldn.softlayer.com/reference/services/SoftLayer_Network_Storage/immediateFailoverToReplicant&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;http://sldn.softlayer.com/reference/services/SoftLayer_Network_Storage/failoverToReplicant&#34;&gt;http://sldn.softlayer.com/reference/services/SoftLayer_Network_Storage/failoverToReplicant&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Failback is always immediate.&lt;/p&gt;

Covers each of the steps required to create a storage volume, and then fail it over.
The ordering methods will need to be slightly modified for block storage. 
everything else should be good as is.

&amp;quot;&amp;quot;&amp;quot;

    host_a = 25206857
    host_b = 28630647
    main = example()
    main.listStorage()
    ### First we need to order a storage volume, and get its ID.
    # main.orderStorage()
    volume_id = 20017773

    ### Then we need to order snapshot space
    # main.orderSnapshot(volume_id)

    ### Then create a snapshot schedule.
    # main.createSnapSchedule(volume_id)

    ### Then Allow our host to access the volume
    # main.authHost(volume_id, [host_a])

    ### Create a manual snapshot for fun 
    # main.manualSnap(volume_id)

    ### Order replication space.
    # main.orderReplicant(volume_id, &#39;HOURLY&#39;)

    ### Allow our vm to access replicant volume
    # main.authReplicant(volume_id,host_b)

    ### Failover to replicant
    # main.houIsDown(volume_id)

    ### Failback to main
    # main.houIsBack(volume_id)

    ### Get some status
    # main.volumeStatus(volume_id)

&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;h4 id=&#34;portal&#34;&gt;Portal&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Added a customerWaitTime field on the ticket search page in the customer portal. The customerWaitTime is the time the customer has been waiting for a response on a ticket. Multiple updates by the customer have no effect on this field and a reply by an employee resets the timer to zero.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Pushed fix that tests that only numbers, letters, and spaces are allowed for all of the titles for contacts when trying to order an SSL certificate. The Symantec API does not accept any special characters in the &amp;lsquo;title&amp;rsquo; field for contact information and this was causing orders to fail.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h4 id=&#34;api&#34;&gt;API&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;None&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h4 id=&#34;backend&#34;&gt;Backend&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Resolved a bug preventing OS reloads from having partitions if reloading from a Customer Supplied OS (NO OS System).&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;h4 id=&#34;portal&#34;&gt;Portal&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fixed an issue where the &amp;ldquo;Add to Order&amp;rdquo; button overlaps dropdown list content when the list is too long&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h4 id=&#34;api&#34;&gt;API&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Published the &lt;a href=&#34;http://sldn.softlayer.com/reference/services/SoftLayer_Network&#34;&gt;SoftLayer_Network&lt;/a&gt; service for customers to interact with Customer Private Addressing.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Refactored &lt;a href=&#34;http://sldn.softlayer.com/reference/services/SoftLayer_Billing_Order_Quote/getRecalculatedOrderContainer&#34;&gt;SoftLayer_Billing_Order_Quote::getRecalculatedOrderContainer()&lt;/a&gt;. Now returns the order container, instead of an array of an order container&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h4 id=&#34;backend&#34;&gt;Backend&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Resolved an issue that was causing Virtual Guests to fail reboot when residing on a host that has been marked as disabled for new instances.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fixed an issue that caused&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Pushed code to display the correct validation error when a number greater than 999 is used in the % field of Auto-Scaling policy actions. Previously a generic error message was displayed.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h4 id=&#34;api&#34;&gt;API&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;None&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h4 id=&#34;backend&#34;&gt;Backend&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Updatd our Microsoft Proxy to handle new TLS requirements by .NET. A recent update to .NET for windows 2012 r2 added a much more strict TLS validation for powershell which in turn caused Post Install Scripts to fail during download.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h4 id=&#34;portal&#34;&gt;Portal&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Added VAT id support for Belarus.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Added code to cleanup tag references on Virtual Guests/NetScalers/Image templates that have been deleted from a customers account.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Added firewall verification during server orders that checks if a selected VLAN is eligible to be used with a server hardware firewall.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Added code to filter out firewall-ineligible VLANs in VLAN selection on the order form when a server hardware firewall is being ordered.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h4 id=&#34;api&#34;&gt;API&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;None&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h4 id=&#34;backend&#34;&gt;Backend&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Resolved an issue that was causing accounts to become locked when linking more than 7 accounts to an IBMId in a 30 minute window.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fixed a bug that was stripping the underscore character from CNAME records hosted on the SoftLayer DNS system.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h4 id=&#34;portal&#34;&gt;Portal&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;None&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h4 id=&#34;api&#34;&gt;API&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Resolved an issue where &lt;a href=&#34;http://sldn.softlayer.com/reference/services/SoftLayer_Brand/createObject&#34;&gt;SoftLayer_Brand::createObject&lt;/a&gt; requests coming in from the API were not creating an associated SoftLayer_Policy_Brand record. This bug resulted in user accounts created under the new brand to be unable to log in to the customer portal.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h4 id=&#34;backend&#34;&gt;Backend&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;None&lt;/li&gt;
