RHBA-2017:3064 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated packages that resolve various issues are now available for Red Hat
OpenStack Platform 9.0 director for RHEL 7.

Description

Red Hat OpenStack Platform director provides the facilities for deploying
and monitoring a private or public infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) cloud
based on Red Hat OpenStack Platform.

This update addresses the following issues:

• The ceph-osd package is only available in a repository that requires a special entitlement that is otherwise not required on OpenStack controller and compute nodes. However, the ceph-osd package is part of the common overcloud image, and its presence creates an RPM dependency problem when it cannot be updated along with the rest of the Ceph packages.

As such, yum updates fail on nodes that do not have the ceph-osd entitlement, even though they do not require the ceph-osd package.

Now, prior to performing the yum update, the ceph-osd package is removed from overcloud nodes that do not require the package. The ceph-osd package is only required on Ceph storage nodes (including hyperconverged nodes running Ceph OSD and Compute services). Yum updates succeed on nodes that do not require the ceph-osd package. Ceph storage and hyperconverged nodes that require the ceph-osd package will still require the necessary Ceph OSD entitlement.

Solution

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