Support is planned for v4.2 targeted for April.

Is there any update on the release date for v4.2?

[armandol]

Scheduled to be released in June

I'm interested in this too.   I'd expect it to be announced on Twitter by @NetAppTools when it's ready.   But, the fact that it's been pushed back to June makes me nervous...

Hello Alan,

Thanks Yossi. Could you confirm that it will contain support for clustered Hyper-V 2012 R2 w/ CSVs?

Hello

Yes Balance 4.2 will support Cluster Shared Volumes with Hyper-V 2012

Still curious about HyperV 2012 R2.   The 4.2RC1 release notes only indicate that 2012 is supported.   It says nothing about 2012 R2.  

Yossi, do you know if the GA code will support R2?

Hello

4.2RC1 does support Microsoft Hyper-V 2012 R2 ; This will be updated in the IMT once the product posts to the download site.

Nice! Thanks!

[ALANTHOMAS]

Could you please post an update on the release date for 4.2 GA?

Hello Alan

The target release date for Balance 4.2GA is in mid-August. That is contingent on achieving General Availability criteria for customer adoption and bug counts.

Best Regards,

Yossi
