ovirt-hosted-engine-setup bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated ovirt-hosted-engine-setup package that fixes various bugs and adds an
enhancement is now available.

Description

The ovirt-hosted-engine-setup package provides a self-hosted engine tool for Red
Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager. A self-hosted engine is a virtualized
environment in which the Manager runs on a virtual machine on the hosts managed
by the Manager. The self-hosted engine currently only runs on Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 6.5 hosts.

To install the self-hosted engine, run:
# yum install ovirt-hosted-engine-setup

Refer to the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.3 Installation Guide for
further information.

https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/3.3/html-single/Installation_Guide/index.html#chap-Self-Hosted_Engine

All Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager users should install this
update which includes this enhancement.

Changes to the ovirt-hosted-engine-setup component:

• Previously, the 'hosted-engine --vm-start' command would fail if the hosted

engine virtual machine already existed and had a status of 'down'. Now, setup
automatically shuts down the virtual machine so that the 'hosted-engine

• -vm-start' command succeeds. (BZ#1055495)
• Running 'hosted-engine --deploy' now proposes the current default gateway as

the default answer for "Please indicate a pingable gateway IP address:"
(BZ#1046147)

• A notification previously in the self-hosted engine installation procedure

could have been interpreted to suggest that the process of installing of the
engine on a virtual machine was undertaken automatically by the installation
process. This notification has been rephrased in order to make clear that the
user must manually install the engine on a virtual machine. (BZ#1046145)

Solution

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

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
