You can find a complete list of supported devices and options (such as I/O, DIMM, and storage adapters), minimum required firmware levels, and limitations considerations from the XClarity One Hub Support for Servers webpage.

Software enhancements

The following software enhancements are supported in this release. Some enhancements are supported only when using Lenovo XClarity One Hub v1.7 or later.

Refer to the change history file (*.chg) that is provided in the update package on the XClarity One downloads webpage for information about bugs that were fixed in this release.

FunctionDescription
Getting started
You can install XClarity One on premises on the following hosts (see Installing XClarity One on premises).
  • Proxmox 9.1
  • RedHat Enterprise Linux 10.2

XClarity One 26.2 requires XClarity One Hub v1.7 or later for storage-device management and operating-system deployment. (see Installing XClarity One Hub).

You can set up XClarity One on premises for high availability (HA) to help ensure continuous operation and minimize downtime (see Installing XClarity One on premises).

When using XClarity One on premises, the portal can collectively manage a maximum of 4,000 total devices across all managed hubs (see Hardware and software requirements for XClarity One virtual machine).

XClarity One Mobile appThe XClarity One Mobile app runs on Android and iOS devices to provide seamless integrates with the XClarity One portal in the cloud, with a consistent and intuitive experience (see XClarity One Mobile app).
Migrating XClarity Administrator to XClarity One

You can migrate an XClarity Administrator instance that manages no more than 1,000 devices (see Migrating XClarity Administrator to XClarity One).

Only online or offline devices managed by XClarity One and online devices in XClarity Administrator that are supported by the hub running firmware released in January 2023 or later are eligible for migration (see Migrating XClarity Administrator to XClarity One).

Dynamic groups without contact or FQDN attributes are eligible for migration (see Migrating XClarity Administrator to XClarity One).

You must have compliant XClarity Pro licenses in XClarity Administrator to migrate configuration patterns (see Migrating XClarity Administrator to XClarity One).

LicensesA todo panel is created 3 months before your licenses expire and then every 30 days thereafter to notify you that your licenses will expire soon (see Licenses).
Authentication and authorization

You can add multiple IDPs (see External identity providers).

When an IDP is removed, users in the IDP that also exist in other organizations will not be removed (see External identity providers).

You can use parentheses in a user’s first and last name (see Users).

You can have up to five user sessions (see Authentication).

Organization owners can invite users from different email domains (see Users).

You can add or remove email domains that are allowed in the organization (see Users).

Email domains that are used by an external IDP cannot be used for local users other than organization owner (see Users).

Devices

You can discover and manage Lenovo ThinkSystem DG and DM storage devices using XClarity One Hub v1.7 and later (see Discovering and managing Lenovo storage devices).

You can perform power operations on all devices in a collection (see Power operations).

A device connection and power status summary is displayed on the Managed devices page (see Device health summaries and status).

Device configuration
Templates

A template compliance summary is displayed on the Managed Devices page (see Device health summaries and status).

You can deploy a template to all devices in a static collection (see Device templates).

Templates now deploy all components (firmware, device settings, and operating system) in a single operation. You no longer need to redeploy the same template for each component (see Device templates).

You can configure devices using verified templates, which consist of a set of firmware versions that were carefully curated and validated by Lenovo (see Device templates).

Firmware

Only firmware repository packs that were released in 2026 are supported (see Firmware repository).

You can re-import firmware packages that exist in the repository and overwrite existing files (see Firmware repository).

Device settings

You can use learn and deploy and RAID settings on your managed devices (see Device settings).

Operating systems

Operating system files are now encrypted in the web browser before being transmitted to the portal (see Data security).

Only encrypted operating system images can be deployed. XClarity One Hub v1.7 is required for deploying encrypted operating systems (Operating-system deployments).

The metadata.json file is no longer needed to import operating systems (see Operating-systems repository).

You can import a single OS image (.iso) or Windows Server bundle (zip) at a time. When importing a Windows Server bundle, you must also import the corresponding signature files (.asc) (see Operating-systems repository).

The following operating systems are newly supported in this release (see Supported operating-systems):
  • Ubuntu Server 24.04.4 and 22.04.5
  • VMware vSphere® Hypervisor (ESXi) with Lenovo VMware ESXi Custom images (March 2026 Release)
Alerts, events, and jobs

You can dismiss all instances of an alert that were generated by a specific device or by any devices (see Alerts and events).

When an alert is dismissed, its corresponding event is also dismissed (see Alerts and events).

You can create a rule to dismiss both currently active alerts and events, as well as those occurring in the future, optionally up to a specified date (see Alerts and events).
