BZ#1237212

Previously, FCoE storage did not work by default due to FCoE services not being enabled. Now, FCoE services are enabled by default in the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor.

BZ#1203176

The Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor (RHEV-H) could not be installed on systems with more than 26 disks in /dev (including multiple paths to the same disk) due to the local disk being filtered out of the installer. The filtering now operates on single disks instead of lists of disks ensuring that RHEV-H can be installed.

BZ#1264195

Fixed an error in the code that caused device discovery to take longer than it should when installing Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization.

BZ#1266530

Previously, the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor was not updated with the VNC and SPICE ports that VDSM sets in QEMU. Updated the port range in the firewall to 5900:6923 for VNC and Spice usage, to enable customers to see the graphical interface.

BZ#1177308

Free space validation is now executed when enabling or disabling the "Fill all space" option when installing Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor. Previously, the amount of free space in the storage volume page of the installer was only validated when entering the page, which made it possible to continue an installation with negative free space or partition sizes.

BZ#1187034

Added a confirmation message to indicate whether a file has been successfully or unsuccessfully persisted.

BZ#1269752

Fixed the Red Hat Subscription Management (RHSM) daemon to be enabled only if RHSM is configured. This prevents the RHSM daemon from writing to the log files when RHSM is not configured.

BZ#1255277

RHN Classic is being replaced with Red Hat Subscription Management (RHSM) interfaces. Updated the subscription page text to refer to RHSM instead of RHN.

BZ#1203837

With this update XFS based storage for local storage domains is now supported on the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor. Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.6 is not required to use XFS based storage domains.

BZ#1233035

Previously, creating a new bond used the balance-rr mode by default and this could lead to connection issues. Now, active-backup mode is used by default for newly created bonds as active-backup mode does not increase the available bandwidth but is safe to use in any setup.

BZ#1212902

Fixed the 'redhat-release'file to include the 'release' keyword to ensure that the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor version is displayed when using the command:

'cat /etc/redhat-release'

BZ#1215016

Fixed a python file issue which prevented configuration migration from occuring when updating Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor from 6.5 to 6.6.

BZ#1238775

With this release, modifications to a persisted multipath.conf file are applied at boot time when previously they were not.

BZ#1061081

With this update the NTP service can now be configured to not start automatically after a manual or autoinstall as the ntpd package provides ntp.conf with pre-configured servers which are invalid for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor deployments without internet access. This update allows users to use ntp=off in grub or autoinstall to disable the NTP daemon. To re-enable the NTP daemon users must use the the text user interface (TUI) to set a non-default NTP server, such as an internal NTP server.

BZ#1182048

On some Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor hosts, a device-mapper error (device-mapper: table: 253:6: multipath: error getting device) is displayed on the login screen. This error does not have a functional impact on those hosts.

BZ#1148080

With this update the perf tool has been added to the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor to allow for better performance monitoring.

BZ#1218941

Fixed an issue where iSCSI information is missing for devices when re-installing Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor.

BZ#1153417

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor users can now configure the logrotate interval and maximum size via automated installation options. The parameters can be used together or separately. If used separately, the default value for 'logrotate_max_size' is '1024' and the default value for 'logrotate_interval' is 'daily'.

ovirt-node-plugin-hosted-engine

BZ#1208780

Users can now perform maintenance tasks on a RHEV-H self-hosted engine through the text user interface (TUI) without entering the rescue shell.

ovirt-node-plugin-vdsm

BZ#1231379

The 'vdsm-reg' tool has been deprecated and replaced with 'vdsm-tool register' to register supported distributions with Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization.
