Synopsis

redhat-virtualization-host bug fix, and enhancement update for RHV 4.1.7

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated redhat-virtualization-host packages are now available.

Description

The ovirt-node-ng 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 imgbased component:

• Previously, the self-hosted engine setup failed if the system clock was set to a time zone that was behind UTC during the installation. This is due to the fact that the Red Hat Virtualization Host generates VDSM certificates at the first boot and if the clock is incorrect, the chronyd or ntpd processes resynchronized the clock. This lead to an invalid certificate if the time zone was behind UTC.
  

Now, Red Hat Virtualization Host generates the certificates after the chronyd or ntpd processes, and waits two seconds for the clock to synchronize.

Note that if the Red Hat Virtualization Host is configured after the installation, or if the NTP server is too slow, the self-hosted engine setup may fail. (BZ#1455441)

Changes to the ovirt-node-ng component:

• This update resolves an issue where an RPM installation finishes successfully (rc=0) even though the postscript failed.
  

The 'set -e' command is now used to fail the RPM installation process when the post install script fails. (BZ#1496371)

Changes to the rhev-hypervisor-ng component:

• Irqbalance has now been enabled by default and is part of the Red Hat Virtualization Host systemd preset. (BZ#1491630)
