RHBA-2014:0932 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated OpenStack Block Storage packages which resolve various issues are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 5.0 (Icehouse) for
RHEL 7.

Description

Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform provides the facilities for building
a private or public infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) cloud running on commonly
available physical hardware. This advisory includes packages for:

• OpenStack Block Storage service ("Cinder").

OpenStack Block Storage (cinder) manages block storage mounting and the
presentation of such mounted block storage to instances. The back-end physical
storage can consist of local disks, Fiber Channel, iSCSI, and/or NFS mounts
attached to Compute nodes. In addition, Block Storage supports volume backups,
and snapshots for temporary save and restore operations. Programmatic management
is available via the Block Storage service's API.

With this release, openstack-cinder is now rebased to upstream version 2014.1.1.

In addition, this update also applies the following fixes:

• A Volume retype for Storwize SVC driver has been added. Volumes managed by the

Storwize driver can be retyped now.(BZ#1051998)

• You can now reset the state of multiple volumes in one call. To do so, specify

the volume names in 'cinder reset-state'. For example, to reset volumes named
'vol1', 'vol2', and 'vol3' at the same time, run: 'cinder reset-state vol1 vol2
vol3'.(BZ#1035896)
