RHBA-2017:3153 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated OpenStack Compute packages that resolve various issues are now
available for Red Hat OpenStack Platform 9.0 (Mitaka) for RHEL 7.

Description

Red Hat 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 Compute service

OpenStack Compute (nova) launches and schedules large networks of virtual
machines, creating a redundant and scalable cloud computing platform.
Compute provides the software, control panels, and APIs required to
orchestrate a cloud, including running virtual machine instances and
controlling access through users and projects.

Changes to the openstack-nova component:

• The linux bridge installed for the particular vif type ovs-hybrid should be configured to persistently keep the MAC learned from the RARP packets sent by QEMU when starting on destination node. This avoids any break of the datapath during a live-migration, because at some point in the live migration the source and destination can be on a same L2 and we could have the destination bridge learning from source. (BZ#1494026)
