RHBA-2014:0182 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated ovirt-node package that fixes various bugs and contains a number of
enhancements 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 update fixes the following bugs:

• Automatic installation failed to set the hostname, DNS, and NTP parameters.

This was because the migration script was also run on first boot after a clean
installation. Now, the configuration version is set during installation, and
prevents migration runs when it is a fresh installation. As a result, the
hostname, DNS and NTP parameters can be set after automatic installation.
(BZ#1055558)

• Upgrading the hypervisor did not retain some previously configured settings

including hostname, network, logging, and remote storage. All parameters are now
persisted in the TUI after an upgrade. (BZ#1055554)

• The NVR of the hypervisor RPM and the contents of /etc/system-release did not

match, so the Manager prompted users to upgrade the hypervisor even when there
were no updates available. The version information in both locations now match,
so users are only prompted to upgrade when there are new versions available.
(BZ#1055553)

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

This ovirt-node package is included in the rhev-hypervisor6 package
associated with advisory [[INSERT-ADVISORY-DETAIL]]

Changes to the ovirt-node component:

(BZ#1063971)

• RHEV-H now installs on the disk selected by the user in the TUI. (BZ#1063989)
• FQDN or IP Address for a proxy server can now be set in the TUI. (BZ#1063991)
