RHBA-2014:0347 - 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.

Changes to the ovirt-node component:

• Previously, a syntax error caused auto-installation of the Red Hat Network to

fail. Now, running auto-install to set up Red Hat Network succeeds. (BZ#1077304)

• Previously, the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor user interface

would crash when you selected certain network interfaces in the Network tab.
This was caused by attempting to edit a network interface that had already been
configured and was included in a bond. Now, it is not possible to edit such
network interfaces from within the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor
user interface, and all further configuration must be performed from within the
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager. (BZ#1073046)

• Previously, the label of additional network interfaces configured in the

administration screen of a Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor would
not be displayed correctly after upgrading that Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization Hypervisor using PXE without specifying the BOOTIF argument. This
was caused by the name of the default network interface card being set
incorrectly during PXE configuration, which would also prevent affected network
interfaces from being assigned an IP address due to having mis-matched device
and network interface names. Now, the default network interface name is set
correctly. (BZ#1072459)

• Previously, upgrading the Hypervisor to 6.5 on a HP smbios 2.6+ machine would

cause a regression in nic renaming, erroneously changing eth0 to em1. This
regression has been corrected so that the renaming no longer occurs.
(BZ#1073044)

• Previously, a regression issue caused an error to occur when attempting to

save a blank device path in the "other device" page of the user interface. Now,
it is not possible to save the form, and a pop up box requests a valid device
path. (BZ#1073048)

• Previously, due to an indentation error in the code, trying to register

Satellite via the Hypervisor TUI would sometimes fail. Now, registering to
Satellite is successful. (BZ#1073049)

• When configuring "Satellite/SAM" the system was accepting an empty string as a

valid input in "RHN URL/CA URL". This has now been disabled, and a valid URL
must now be entered. (BZ#1072454)

• Previously, attempting to set the "flash lights to identify" option in the nic

details page of network configuration would cause an unknown exception error.
Now, this function can be activated without errors. (BZ#1073563)

• Previously, the Manager would sometimes report a critical disk space error:

"Critical, Low disk space. Host <host> has less than 500 MB of free space left
on: /var/log" even when this was not the case. Now, the Manager reports disk
space errors accurately. (BZ#1073566)

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