Key Resolved Issues:

  • This release addresses an issue where Tera2 clients loaded with firmware 4.0.2 can become non-functional and unrecoverable when the applying profiles.
  • Fixed an issue where the Device Details webpage did not render when the device's DHCP vendor class options were set incorrectly.

Key Known Issues:

  • The import of the PCoIP Management Console VM into a VMware ESXi host using the VMware vCenter Converter Standalone tool may fail, if the datastore name of the managed source or destination contains the "@" symbol. Remove the ‘@’ symbol from the datastore name before continuing.
  • Some customers have reported an issue when discovering Tera 2 devices with this release of the Management console. This issue appears to be related to Tera 2 devices showing up with firmware 4.0.2 and the discovery process just hanging.
    Workaround: Delete the Tera 2 device from the Management Console, manually update the firmware to 4.0.3 and then rediscover the Tera 2 device in the Management Console.
  • Some customers have reported an issue where devices are stuck in the AC pending state.  This issue is under investigation. Workaround: From the VM Player or ESXi VM console, choose option 8 to halt the PCoIP MC and then power the VM back on.
  • In deployments of just zero clients when the deployment reached several hundred zero clients the update and discovery of the zero clients take a long time, in large deployments it has been reported to take as long as 15 minutes. Workaround: This issue has been tracked to a database issue and Teradici have released a patch for this condition. Please open a support ticket at techsupport.teradici.com to request a patch.
  • This release supports management of up to 2000 PCoIP devices and was tested to that level. For help managing deployments of over 2000 devices, contact Teradici support.
  • When using Internet Explorer on a Pentium 4 or earlier PC to access the web UI on a MC instance that is managing more than 1000 devices, the JavaScript watchdog dialog may occasionally appear. This dialog prompts the user to continue or stop a long-running script. To avoid this, access the MC web UI using Firefox or run Internet Explorer on a Core 2 Duo or later PC.
  • Disabling AutoConfig does not stop the MC from configuring AC Pending devices. Once devices are discovered while AutoConfig is enabled, they go through the AutoConfig process.
  • VMware Tools is not running. Workaround: Please see knowledgebase article 1599 for details.
