RHBA-2016:1702 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated redhat-virtualization-host packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are now available.

Description

The redhat-virtualization-host packages provide the Red Hat Virtualization Host. These packages include redhat-release-virtualization-host, ovirt-node, and rhev-hypervisor. Red Hat Virtualization Hosts (RHVH) are installed using a special build of Red Hat Enterprise Linux with only the packages required to host virtual machines. RHVH features a Cockpit user interface for monitoring the host's resources and performing administrative tasks.

Changes to the ovirt-node component:

• Previously, the iSCSI initiator name was lost after reboot. Now, the iSCSI initiator name is persistent and is retained after reboot. (BZ#1314489)

Changes to the rhev-hypervisor component:

• With this update, the new Anaconda installer has added the ability to identify individual disks. This change was required to ensure the correct installation decisions are made. (BZ#1289551)
• With this update, RPM-based firmware updates can now be installed. (BZ#1323479)
• With this update, the swap partition can be placed on a separate device. This allows a user to put the swap partition on a device suitable for this specific load, which differs from the load on the root filesystem. (BZ#864010)

Solution

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