RHBA-2016:1791 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated OpenStack Block Storage 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 Block Storage service

OpenStack Block Storage (cinder) manages block storage mounting and the
presentation of such mounted block storage to instances. The back-end
physical storage can consist of local disks, Fiber Channel, iSCSI, and/or
NFS mounts attached to Compute nodes. In addition, Block Storage supports
volume backups, and snapshots for temporary save and restore operations.
Programmatic management is available through the Block Storage service's
API.

Changes to the python-cinderclient component:

• Previously, in deployments that used a proxy, Cinder servers would not return the expected publicURL, and would instead return an internal URL that clients would not be able to use. This would result in receiving the response "ERROR: Bad Request (HTTP 400)" to requests. With this update, the premature version discovery addition to Cinder client has now been removed, allowing cases where deployments use a proxy to function as expected. (BZ#1241162)
