RHBA-2018:1471 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated ovirt-hosted-engine-setup packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are now available.

Description

The ovirt-hosted-engine-setup package provides a self-hosted engine tool for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager. A self-hosted engine is a virtualized environment in which the Manager runs on a virtual machine on the hosts managed by the Manager.

Changes to the ovirt-hosted-engine-setup component:

• The RHV appliance versioning schema has been amended to reduce severity of version checks. (BZ#1464461)
• Fixed an issue where ovirt-hosted-engine-setup would install rhevm-appliance and then upgrade to rhvm-appliance. Engine setup now downloads and installs only the required appliance. (BZ#1449557)
• Users can provide a path to a locally saved appliance OVA in cases where the appliance RPM is not available or not wanted. (BZ#1461251)
• The Hosted Engine upgrade tool now drops root privileges when accessing storage, preventing a failure in cases where the root_squash option is enabled. (BZ#1466234)
• All portals of an iSCSI portal group are connected to enable iSCSI multipath, saving IP and port values in a string. (BZ#1267807)
• In the current release, during the hosted engine deployment, if only one configured NIC is available on the host, it is offered as the default option. (BZ#1317739)
• Previously, although you could use engine-rename to change the FQDN of the Manager, the Manager still passed the old value when deploying new self-hosted engine nodes. Now, you can use hosted-engine --set-shared-config to modify the FQDN in hosted-engine.conf. (BZ#1400890)
• hosted-engine-setup now correctly disconnects the temporary storage domain used on boot. (BZ#1449565)
• Previously, hosted-engine-setup assumed that the user set the same CHAP username and password for both iSCSI discovery and iSCSI login. Now, the user can pass different username and password couples for iSCSI discovery and iSCSI login at setup time. (BZ#1474209)
• Fixed a SAN multipath configuration that was occasionally preventing ovirt-hosted-engine-setup from working correctly. (BZ#1487560)
• ovirt-hosted-engine-setup does not allow installation to proceed if there is not enough free space for required OVF_STORE disks to be created. (BZ#1522737)
• Upgrading a hosted engine to 4.0 would fail if references to version 3.5 hosts still existed in the metadata volume of the engine. The user is now warned when this is the case. (BZ#1481680)
