Important Notes

• In QuTS Hero h5.0.1 or earlier, users can no longer create new VJBOD disks from a remote NAS if the remote NAS is running QuTS Hero h5.1.0 or later. If there are existing VJBOD disks connections to the remote NAS before it is updated to QuTS Hero h5.1.0 or later, these VJBOD disks are unaffected and remain operational after the update. In QuTS Hero h5.1.0 or later, users can still create VJBOD disks from a remote NAS running QuTS Hero h5.0.1 or earlier.
• Removed support for CO Video.

Security Updates

• Applied multiple security updates to further enhance system security.

New Features

Control Panel

• Administrators can now delegate roles to non-administrators in Control Panel > Privilege > Delegated Administration. This feature allows non-administrators to perform routine tasks and manage system resources, thus greatly enhancing productivity and flexibility.
• Added support for Hailo-8 AI accelerator devices. Users can also configure Hailo-8 usage priorities for apps using Hailo-8 devices.
• Added the Qfinder discovery service that allows the Qfinder Pro utility to discover your QNAP device.

Desktop & Login

• You can now log out of your account on all devices, browsers, and applications at once. To use this feature, go to the desktop, click your username on the taskbar, and then go to Login and Security > Password.
• QuTS hero now supports Passwordless Login, which replaces your password with a more secure verification method. QuTS hero now also supports more verification methods for 2-Step Verification. To configure these settings, go to the desktop, click your username on the taskbar, and then select Login and Security.
• You can now scan the QR code of your NAS with a QNAP mobile app to easily add this NAS to your mobile app. This QR code contains essential network information for remote connection. To get this QR code, go to Desktop > More > Device QR Code.
• Added an icon on the top-right corner of the desktop to indicate whether the device has enabled myQNAPcloud and been associated with a QNAP ID or whether the device has joined AMIZ Cloud.

File Station

• Added support for the Recent Files function. Users can now quickly browse recently uploaded/accessed/deleted files.
• Enhanced the search function and search result interface. Users can now search file content with Qsirch.

Help Center

• Redesigned the user interface of Help Center for a better user experience.

Initialization

• You can now purchase licenses during QuTScloud installation.

iSCSI & Fibre Channel

• Added a new settings page for managing default iSCSI CHAP authentication settings, which you can use for multiple iSCSI targets. You can find these settings in iSCSI & Fibre Channel > Global Settings > Default iSCSI CHAP. When creating or editing a target, you can choose to use the default CHAP settings or configure unique settings for the target.
• Added the client umask feature to assigns default permissions for existing and new files and folders.

myQNAPcloud

• You can now add the NAS to an organization when setting up myQNAPcloud. This allows organization administrators to centrally manage and monitor various system resources on NAS devices via AMIZ Cloud. (AMIZ Cloud Agent must be enabled in myQNAPcloud.)

Network & Virtual Switch

• Network & Virtual Switch can now record event logs when the system identifies conflicting IP addresses between the local device and another device on the same network.
• Users can now configure the MAC address when creating or modifying a virtual switch.
• When selecting the system default gateway automatically, you can now configure the checking target by specifying the domain name or IP address.

NFS

• Users can now set the rcpbind to assign fixed ports to RPC services. Make sure that you configure the firewall rules accordingly to allow connections only on the fixed ports.

SAMBA

• The SMB protocol now supports the AES GMAC 128-bit key encryption.
• Microsoft networking now supports SMB multichannel settings, which allows file servers to use multiple network connections simultaneously.

Storage & Snapshots

• Users can now expand a storage pool by adding disks to expand an existing RAID group within the pool. When expanding the RAID group, you can also migrate the RAID group to a different RAID type.
• Expanded and improved the "Activate Predictive S.M.A.R.T. Migration" feature and renamed it "Predictive Migration". Previously, this feature automatically migrated data from a faulty disk to a spare disk when S.M.A.R.T. errors were detected on the faulty disk. Now, users can specify various trigger events from sources other than S.M.A.R.T., including Western Digital Device Analytics, IronWolf Health Management, DA Drive Analyzer, and SSD estimated life remaining. You can configure this feature in Storage & Snapshots > Global Settings > Disk Health.
• You can now select up to 24 disks for a single RAID-TP group.
• Added support for Seagate dual-actuator disks. These disks appear with a "Seagate DA" tag in Storage & Snapshots > Storage > Disks/VJBOD > Disks.
• Added support for Western Digital Device Analytics (WDDA) for Western Digital (WD) disks. To view WDDA information, go to Storage & Snapshots > Storage > Disks/VJBOD > Disks, select a WD disk, and click Health > View Details.
• Added a new window that automatically appears when you insert new disks and helps you decide what to do with them. You can also access this window any time by going to Storage & Snapshots > Storage > Disks/VJBOD > Disks > More > Manage Free Disks.

Enhancements

App Center

• Users can now configure a schedule for automatic installations of app updates.

Control Panel

• Added additional specification information for memory slots in Control Panel > System Status > Hardware Information.

• Changed the behavior and the description of certain permission settings as we do not recommend using the default administrator account "admin".
• Optimized the process of restoring the LDAP database.
• The automatic firmware update settings have been streamlined with the following changes:
  • The selectable options for automatic firmware updates have been greatly simplified. Users now select one of three firmware types to automatically update their system with: quality updates, critical updates, or latest updates.
  • "Security updates" are now "critical updates". Critical updates include security fixes as well as critical system issue fixes.
  • "Quality updates" now include security fixes and critical issue fixes in addition to bug fixes.
  • "Feature updates" are now "latest updates" and include quality and critical updates in addition to new features, enhancements, and bug fixes.
  • Update notifications no longer need to be enabled separately for each firmware type. Notifications are now either enabled or disabled for all firmware types.
• The time interval for observing successive failed login attempts can now be configured to be between 0 and 600 minutes. Moreover, a time interval of 0 minutes means that failed login attempts are never reset.
• You can now include more information from account profiles when importing and exporting user accounts.
• You can now select the direction to append the custom header for the reverse proxy rule.
• Users can now edit and enable or disable existing power schedules in Control Panel > System > Power > Power Schedule. Previously, users could only add or remove power schedules.

• Improved the "Enable Read Acceleration" feature so that it not only improves the read performance of new files added to a shared folder (starting in QuTS hero h5.0.1), but also improves the read performance of existing files (starting in QuTS hero h5.1.0). This feature can be enabled for shared folders after upgrading from QuTS hero h5.0.0 or earlier to QuTS hero h5.0.1 or later.
• Increased the maximum number of disks in RAID-TP from 16 to 24.
• Redesigned the presentation of disk information into tabular format for enhanced user experience, now viewable in Storage & Snapshots > Storage > Disks/VJBOD > Disks.
