BZ#1054034

Previously, if the Cancel button was clicked on the Red Hat Access Login window, it would not allow you to retry logging in to Red Hat Access again by clicking on the Log in button. With this release, the Login button works as expected.

rhsc

BZ#1089067

Previously, there was no error handling capability for the command: rhsc-setup --generate-answer=<answer-file>. If an invalid answer file was provided, the Red Hat Storage Console setup script would fail with an error. With this release, the error is handled while writing the answer file. If an invalid path is provided, the setup reports the error as a warning and continues to function as expected.

BZ#1044847

Previously, the host column could not be sorted on the Services tab of Clusters when the Show All view was clicked. The order of the rows would get interchanged with every refresh task. With this enhancement, the Host column entries are sorted before they are displayed on the Console.

BZ#1061725

Previously if the Status dialog box was open and simultaneously a remove-brick operation was stopped from the CLI, the task was displayed as Commit Pending because the status dialog box would return the status as Completed. This resulted in an incorrect status message on the Console. With this fix, the Status Dialog box displays the correct status for a stop remove-brick operation.

BZ#1063923

Previously, administrators of Red Hat Storage deployments had no easy mechanism to track the health of a server. A poll-based mechanism used the existing glusterFS CLI to identify the volume status and node status. A five minute polling interval displayed stale data. In this release, with the Nagios plugin integration, the Red Hat Storage Console has monitoring capabilities such as:

• Monitoring of critical entities such as servers, networking, volumes, clusters and services.
• Alerting when critical infrastructure components fail and recover, providing administrators with notice of important events. Alerts can be delivered via email and SNMP.
• Reports providing a historical record of outages, events and notifications for later review.
• Trending and capacity planning graphs and reports that allow for infrastructure upgrades before failures.

BZ#1064712

Previously the Skipped File Count field always displayed zero on the Remove Brick Status dialog box. In this release, the Skipped File Count field is removed.

BZ#1084891

Previously, the Red Hat Storage Console did not display performance metrics and lacked monitoring capability. With this release, a new monitoring feature is introduced to display graphs and utilization trends for clusters, volumes, and bricks. It also displays host network utilization, memory utilization, CPU utilization, swap space and disk utilization.

BZ#1064295

Previously while performing a remove brick operation, clicking the Remove button before the pop-up closed on Remove Brick window led to a remove brick operation failure, and the remove brick icon was not displayed in the Activities column. With this fix, the Remove-brick icon appears in the volume activities column, the tasks in the task pane are updated as expected, and an appropriate message is displayed if the remove brick icon is clicked when a task is already in progress.

BZ#1065227

Previously, the glusterFS task list information would consume a considerable amount of time to synchronize with other nodes to provide consistent information about the newly created tasks. If the glusterFS task list did not return the information about a task, the task was marked as Unknown. Although the task is active, the Console would fail to monitor it. With this fix, a minimum wait time of 10 minutes is introduced before a task is cleared. As a result, the task information is displayed correctly on the Red Hat Storage Console.

BZ#998928

Previously, there were no errors reported when you start the ovirt-engine-notifier and there was no notification that the ovirt-engine-notifier started successfully. With this fix, the error message No transport is enabled, nothing to do is displayed when starting the ovirt-engine-notifier when MAIL_SERVER option in the configuration file is not defined.

BZ#1032533

Previously, after logging in to the Red Hat Storage Console, an additional HTTP authentication dialog box was displayed with the user name and password prompt. With this fix, the additional dialog box is not displayed.

BZ#1044598

Previously, when the start remove-brick operation failed, a few localization constants were displayed instead of a comprehensible error message. With this fix, the localization constants are properly mapped to appropriate messages.
