RHBA-2016:1924 - 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:

• Previously, the HA broker waited for a non-responsive SMTP server without timing out. This meant the the HA agent waited indefinitely for the HA broker. Now, a timeout has been added to the connection between the HA broker and the SMTP server. This means that the HA broker and the HA agent no longer wait indefinitely for a SMTP response. (BZ#1364286)
• With the update, an issue in the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.5 to Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.6 upgrade procedure has been fixed. This issue moved the answer file to the shared storage, even if it was empty or unavailable, on the host. This could lead to future issues, such as, refusing to upgrade as the answer file is missing. (BZ#1368127)
