Support for partitions larger than 2.2 TB with BIOS

Installations can now be configured to boot from hard drive partitions larger than 2.2 TB using select BIOS models that support the newer GUID Partition Table (GPT). Legacy BIOS implementations previously limited ability to use large partitions on systems that were not using the newer Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI).
The initial ramdisk file on 64-bit PowerPC and 64-bit IBM POWER Series systems is now named initrd.img. In previous releases, it was named ramdisk.image.gz.

Support for device identification using WWIDs during installation

Fibre Channel and Serial Attach SCSI (SAS) devices can be now specified by a World Wide Name (WWN) or a World Wide Identifier (WWID) for unattended installations. WWN is part of the IEEE standard which makes it easier to identify storage devices during installation for users utilizing Storage Area Networks (SAN) and other advanced network topologies. When a storage device is attached to a server using multiple physical paths for redundancy or improved performance, WWN for any of these paths is sufficient to identify the device.

Streaming support, introduced in cPanelâ„¢ 11.24, received various performance improvements. When the Express Transfer method is used with streaming, zone activation is deferred until the end of the account restoration process. This resolves an issue that occurs when transferring accounts among servers within a DNS cluster.

A Select All button was added to the Express Transfer column in the Multiple Account Transfer interface.

The transfer system now detects when the remote or local servers run out of disk space. The errors are captured and the administrator is notified.
