Release Notes

v1.1.0 — Adds -VCenterServer and -VCenterCredentialSecretName to Invoke-CvValidation, which turn on the VMware DRS anti-affinity check: the tool maps each cluster VM to its ESXi host, reports any host holding more than one node, and checks for a covering enabled DRS anti-affinity rule. Requires VMware PowerCLI on the machine running the tool, and ClusterValidator tool 1.13.0 or newer (earlier tools do not accept these arguments). Omit them and nothing changes. v1.0.3 — Connect-CvValidator now auto-detects an installed clustervalidator-mcp global tool and launches it directly (no network, no -Command flag), so the offline/air-gapped path works out of the box; dnx is still used when only it is present, and -Command still overrides. v1.0.2 — documentation release (no code change): widened positioning to Windows Server Failover Cluster with SQL FCI named; added a restricted/offline-environment install section (Azure Artifacts upstream, offline local-folder install, and the install/activation/run-time host allowlist); documented both license routes (CV_LICENSE env var and Connect-CvValidator -License); refreshed the how-to. v1.0.1 — bundled a docs folder (how-to PDF, Azure reference architecture, sample report). v1.0.0 — first release. Thin stdio client; Export-CvValidationReport returns the tool's branded HTML report. Requires the DetentPoint.ClusterValidator.Mcp tool (>= 1.12.0) and PowerShell 7+ on Windows.
