RHBA-2018:2588 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated OpenStack Compute packages that resolve various issues are now
available for Red Hat OpenStack Platform 13.0 (Queens) 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 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 MTU of TAP devices was not configured. This means that the network was configured with a different MTU than the TAP device used by a guest.

When creating the TAP device for the guest, you can also configure libvirt. Nova passes the correct parameter to libvirt. The TAP device created by libvirt for the guest now has the same configuration as the network. (BZ#1590771)
