RHBA-2016:0435 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated OpenStack Orchestration packages that resolve various issues are
now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 7.0 (Kilo)
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 Orchestration service

OpenStack Orchestration (heat) is a template-driven engine used to specify
and deploy configurations for Compute, Storage, and OpenStack Networking.
It can also be used to automate post-deployment actions, which in turn
allows automated provisioning of infrastructure, services, and
applications. Orchestration can also be integrated with Telemetry alarms to
implement auto-scaling for certain infrastructure resources.

This update addresses the following issues:

• If the database is not available when heat-engine starts, heat-engine fails to start, preventing heat-engine from running under certain circumstances. This occurs after you update a machine on which both the database and heat-engine are running using yum alone such as when updating the undercloud. As a workaround, heat-engine must be explicitly started by running 'systemctl start openstack-heat-engine.service'. You can confirm whether heat-engine is running by running 'systemctl status openstack-heat-engine.service'. (BZ#1307125)

Solution

Before applying this update, ensure all previously released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.
