RHBA-2014:1926 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated OpenStack Block Storage packages that 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

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 through the
Block Storage service’s API.

This update addresses the following issue:

• Previously, deleting a LVM snapshot or volume in Block Storage (cinder) could

fail due an internal exception when processing byte strings.
As a result, certain LVM snapshots or volumes could not be deleted in some
cases.
This update resolves this issue by catching a spurious exception. As a result,
these LVM snapshots and volumes can now be successfully deleted. (BZ#1154534)
