RHBA-2014:1126 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated openstack-nova packages that fix several bugs are now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 5.0 (Icehouse) for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 6.

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 Compute service ("nova").

OpenStack Compute (nova) launches and schedules large networks of virtual
machines, creating a redundant and scalable cloud computing platform.
Compute provides the software, control panels, and APIs required to
orchestrate a cloud, including running virtual machine instances and
controlling access through users and projects.

These packages update the OpenStack Compute service to version 2014.1.2 and add
the following bugfixes and enhancements:

• Previously, the Packstack installer default for live migration was through

QEMU's SSH protocol. However, as the Compute (nova) user account was setup with
a nologin shell, the SSH connection would fail and result in the libvirt error
"operation failed: Failed to connect to remote libvirt URI". Consequently,
instances were not successfully live-migrated.
With this update, instances are instead live-migrated using QEMU's TCP protocol,
and as a result, live migration is expected to complete successfully.
(BZ#1122457)
