IBM Fusion Access for SAN updates the backend to use FileSystemClaim resources for managing filesystem related objects. Previously, filesystem creation could fail if the process was interrupted. With this update, backend handling improves reliability while keeping the user interface flow and appearance unchanged.

After you upgrade to IBM Fusion Access for SAN 1.1.0, resources that were created by using the 1.0 user interface are automatically migrated and associated with a FileSystemClaim resource.

IBM Fusion Access for SAN now creates a VolumeSnapshotClass resource alongside the StorageClass resource for each filesystem. This ensures that snapshot support is consistently available for newly created filesystems.

After upgrading from IBM Fusion Access for SAN 1.0 to 1.1.0, a VolumeSnapshotClass resource is automatically created for existing filesystems that did not previously have one.

IBM Fusion Access for SAN uses the OpenShift Container Platform image registry to manage the kernel module. Do not configure the registry to use emptyDir storage because it provides only temporary storage and is not suitable for production use. Configure IBM Fusion Access for SAN to use a different image registry by creating a config map and secret after installing the Operator and before creating the FusionAccess CR.
