RHBA-2016:2786 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An update is now available for Red Hat Virtualization Manager version 4.0.

Description

The Red Hat Virtualization Manager is a centralized management platform
that allows system administrators to view and manage virtual machines. The
Manager provides a comprehensive range of features including search
capabilities, resource management, live migrations, and virtual
infrastructure provisioning.

The Manager is a JBoss Application Server application that provides several
interfaces through which the virtual environment can be accessed and
interacted with, including an Administration Portal, a User Portal, and a
Representational State Transfer (REST) Application Programming Interface
(API).

Changes to the ovirt-engine component:

• This update fixes an issue where V2V fails for a VMware external provider which contains special characters in a data center, cluster, or folder name. The characters are now encoded on the V2V engine side before sending them to the VDSM.

1) This solution encodes the VMware data center and VMware cluster parts of the uri. For example, in the URI vpx://user@vcenter/<DATACENTER>/<CLUSTER>/esxi?no_verify=1 the <DATACENTER> and <CLUSTER> parts are encoded, including folders if they exist. Other parts of the URI are left decoded.

2) The UI will display the data center and cluster as was originally typed by the user.

3. The encoding is done on the frontend and should be also done while using REST APIs for VMware V2V. (BZ#1377271)

• The latest virtio-win release which includes Windows 10 drivers is now required by Red Hat Virtualization Manager to ensure it will be upgraded. (BZ#1379559)
• Updated messages written to the audit log. Previously backup execution start and finish events were identified only with "Started"/"Finished" values, so it was not obvious which process has started or finished. Events now have the format "Backup started at ..." and "Backup finished at ...". (BZ#1381562)
