RHBA-2019:0586 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated OpenStack Block Storage packages that resolve various issues are
now available for Red Hat OpenStack Platform 14.0 (Rocky) 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 Block Storage service

OpenStack Block Storage (cinder) manages block storage mounting and the
presentation of such mounted block storage to instances. The back-end
physical storage can consist of local disks, Fiber Channel, iSCSI, and/or
NFS mounts attached to Compute nodes. In addition, Block Storage supports
volume backups, and snapshots for temporary save and restore operations.
Programmatic management is available through the Block Storage service's
API.

Changes to the openstack-cinder component:

• A code change in OpenStack Platform 12 introduced a regression that caused the Block Storage service (cinder) to ignore some IOError exceptions raised by the glanceclient during image download. Ignored IOError exceptions can result in a volume with truncated or corrupt data.

This release modifies the code so that such exceptions are not ignored. When an IOError occurs during image download, the Block Storage service logs the exception and handles it correctly. (BZ#1664687)

Solution

Before applying this update, ensure all previously released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.
