RHBA-2015:1941 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated ovirt-hosted-engine-setup package that fixes several bugs is now
available.

Description

The ovirt-hosted-engine-setup package provides a self-hosted engine tool for Red
Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager. A self-hosted engine is a virtualized
environment in which the Manager runs on a virtual machine on the hosts managed
by the Manager.

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

• Previously, when deploying a hosted engine, and the Manager included more than

one data center on a VLAN-tagged network, hosted-engine deployment would fail to
update the VLAN property on the management network. Now, the VLAN property is
handled correctly when deploying a hosted engine with multiple data centers on a
VLAN-tagged network. (BZ#1260143)

• Previously, ovirt-hosted-engine-setup assumed that an answer file provided to

an additional host deployment was generated by the initial host deployment.
However, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor (RHEV-H) nodes generated
their own partial answer files that would then be passed to
ovirt-hosted-engine-setup. This meant that ovirt-hosted-engine-setup neglected
to collect the correct answer file from the initial host, causing the additional
RHEV-H node to fail deployment. Now, the user is prompted to confirm that the
answer file being passed to ovirt-hosted-engine-setup is complete, with an offer
to collect the correct answer file from the initial host if it is incomplete.
(BZ#1249514)

• Previously, hosted-engine deployment using the RHEV-M Virtual Appliance over

iSCSI storage would fail with an endless error message if the destination
storage had insufficient space. Now, this scenario raises an appropriate error
and fails gracefully. (BZ#1258786)
