RHBA-2014:1929 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated OpenStack Dashboard 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 Dashboard

OpenStack Dashboard (horizon) provides administrators and users with a
graphical interface to access, provision, and automate cloud-based
resources. The dashboard allows cloud administrators to get an overall
view of the size and state of the cloud, and it provides end-users with a
self-service portal to provision their own resources within the limits
set by administrators.

This update addresses the following issues:

• The OpenStack dashboard expected OpenStack Networking to be set up with

Layer 3 (L3) support and to allow floating IP addresses. As a result, if an
environment has OpenStack Networking configured without L3 support, the
"Launch instance" action failed due to a missed quota check on floating IPs.
With this update, the dashboard now gracefully handles the failure to
retrieve the list of floating IPs, and instances can now be launched in
environments where L3 is disabled in OpenStack Networking. (BZ#1146562)

• Quota information from other services could previously get out of sync

and incorrectly return negative values for "in use" resources. This meant
that the dashboard project overview would fail with an error 500. With
this update, negative values for "in use" resources are now treated as
"zero resources are currently in use", and the dashboard project overview
loads correctly for this case. (BZ#1154020)

• The previous dashboard branding used the name 'Red Hat OpenStack

Dashboard'. A new graphic has been provided with the full product name,
'Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform'. (BZ#1155394)
