-Apache CloudStack Advisory on KVM Shared Mount Point issues on version 4.17.0.0
-===============================================================================
-
-On 14th June 2022, a new issue affecting only KVM users using Shared
-Mount Point storage was reported [1]. This issue affects the creation
-and the usage of existing Shared Mount Point storage pools on Apache
-CloudStack 4.17.0.0.
+https://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/4.18.0.0/releasenotes/changes.html
 
-Apache CloudStack 4.17.0.0 added support for the StorPool storage
-based on Shared Mount Point. However, the current version of
-CloudStack doesn't allow multiple implementations of Shared Mount
-Point storage pool providers, causing the StorPool provider to
-override the default implementation. This affected the other storage
-pool providers for Shared Mount Point since CloudStack tries to add
-them as a StorPool storage pool.
+.. _guestosids
 
-To mitigate the issue, a CloudStack administrator needs to do the
-following on version 4.17.0.0:
+Possible Issue with Guest OS IDs
+================================
 
-• On each management server: stop the CloudStack management service, remove the Storpool plugin jar on /usr/share/cloudstack-management/lib/cloud-plugin-storage-volume-storpool-4.17.0.0.jar and restart the Cloudstack management service
-• On each KVM host: stop the CloudStack agent service, remove the StorPool plugin jar on /usr/share/cloudstack-agent/lib/cloud-plugin-storage-volume-storpool-4.17.0.0.jar and restart the CloudStack agent service
+It has been noticed during upgrade testing that some environment, where
+ custom guest OSses where added and mapping for those OSses where added,
+ problems may occur during upgrade. Part of the mitigation is to make sure
+ OSses that are newly mapped but should have already been in the guest_os
+ table are there. Make sure you apply thois before you start the new 4.18
+ management server.
 
-Note: This workaround removes the StorPool plugin support. StorPool
-users should not apply the workaround to continue using their Storpool
-storage.
