Agent v1.16.0 — January 14, 2026
Enhancements:
Windows Instant Onboarding (initial release)
A new onboarding path for Windows data disks that performs onboarding via direct storage pool metadata operations rather than background disk mirroring. Faster than mirror-based onboarding and requires one scheduled reboot to complete. This feature is enabled per account by the Lucidity team.
Improved disk identification on Azure
Disk identification during registration now uses IOCTL-based device identifiers instead of WMI, resolving a class of identification failures on Azure. Azure Gen 1 (ATA bus) and Gen 2 (SCSI bus) instances are now correctly handled for both root and data disks.
Windows Server 2025 support
GPT partition layout validation now accepts both three-partition and four-partition layouts. AWS Windows Server 2025 AMIs use a three-partition layout without a Recovery partition; the agent identifies partitions by type rather than position, maintaining backward compatibility with existing configurations.
Automatic offline disk recovery
If a disk required for an operation is offline, the agent now attempts to bring it online automatically before proceeding. If the online operation fails, the condition is reported to the orchestration layer rather than failing silently.
Bug Fixes:
AWS device serial number alignment
AWS paravirtual drivers append a numeric suffix to device serial numbers; the agent now strips this suffix to match the naming used by the Lucidity orchestration layer. Fixes device identity mismatches on paravirtual AWS instances.
