RHBA-2015:1939 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated ovirt-hosted-engine-ha package is now available.

Description

The ovirt-hosted-engine-ha package enables the self-hosted engine to be highly
available. A self-hosted engine is a virtualized environment in which the Red
Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager runs on a virtual machine on the hosts
managed by the Manager. If the host running the virtual machine goes into
maintenance, the virtual machine is migrated automatically to another host in
the environment.

Changes to the ovirt-hosted-engine-ha component:

• In self-hosted engine, when the Manager virtual machine crashes, it will be

restarted on another host. However, since all hosts would attempt to restart the
Manager virtual machine but only one can succeed, errors returned on the hosts
that failed to restart the Manager virtual machine. Though the error is
dismissed when the synchronization is complete, this could be confusing to
users. This update adds a proper log message to the hosts that failed to restart
the Manager virtual machine and errors are no longer returned. (BZ#1220119)
