RHBA-2018:0612 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated OpenStack Bare Metal Provisioning packages that resolve various
issues are now available for Red Hat OpenStack Platform 12.0 (Pike) for
RHEL 7.

Description

Red Hat OpenStack Platform provides the facilities for building, deploying
and monitoring a private or public infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) cloud
running on commonly available physical hardware. This advisory includes
packages for:

• OpenStack Bare Metal Provisioning service

OpenStack Bare Metal Provisioning service (ironic) provides an API for
management and provisioning of physical machines

Changes to the openstack-ironic component:

• Introspection would display IPMI credentials in DEBUG level logs during node cleaning. This fix masks the IPMI credentials. (BZ#1542959)
• Validating root partition size using whole disk CQOW2 images caused OpenStack Bare Metal (ironic) to incorrectly report the root partition was too small for the requested whole disk image. Ironic only requires this validation when creating nodes using the standard partition QCOW2 image. This fix disables the disk size check for whole disk images. (BZ#1533117)

Changes to the openstack-ironic-inspector component:

• Introspection failed on network switches using Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) due to how OpenStack Bare Metal (ironic) parsed exceptions. This fix corrects the exception handling and no longer results in an error. (BZ#1543009)
