Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated ovirt-node package that fixes various bugs is now available.

Description

The ovirt-node package provides the utilities and recipes used to create and
configure the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor ISO image.

Note: Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor is only available for
the Intel 64 and AMD64 architectures with virtualization extensions.

This updated ovirt-node package fixes these bugs:

• Previously the Hypervisor would not guarantee the order in which Network
  Interface Cards (NICs) appeared, potentially resulting in a loss of network
  connectivity. This was the case even where the NIC had been configured for
  use by the Hypervisor. The Hypervisor has been updated and now ensures that
  NICs are ordered consistently once configured (BZ#846429).
  
• On completion of Hypervisor upgrades the Hypervisor is rebooted. Previously
  this reboot was performed from within the shell session responsible for
  performing the upgrade. This resulted in the status of the host being listed
  in the Manager as "Install Failed" - even when the upgrade was successful.
  The rhev-hypervisor6 package has been updated. On upgrades the shell session
  is now allowed to finish gracefully while the reboot is initiated in the
  background (BZ#863151).
  
• When interfaces on the Hypervisor were configured to use a static IP
  address the status page listed the relevant connection as "none". The
  Hypervisor has been updated. Connections configured to use a static IP
  address are now correctly listed on the status page as "static" (BZ#863161).
  
• Dell machines using smbios 2.6 or later use the biosdevname utility for
  device naming in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. Previously when configuring
  Hypervisor networking on machines using biosdevname for device naming the
  error "cp:cannot stat'/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules':No such
  file or directory" was displayed. The Hypervisor has been updated and this
  error is no longer encountered when configuring networking on machines that
  use biosdevname (BZ#865047).
  

This update is included in the build of the rhev-hypervisor6 package
associated with errata RHSA-2012:1375:

Users of the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor are advised to
upgrade to this updated package, which corrects these issues and adds these
enhancements.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
