RHBA-2019:0661 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated gluster-ansible packages are now available for Red Hat Gluster Storage 3.4 Batch 4 Update on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Description

The gluster-ansible packages provide ansible roles which can be executed by
ansible-playbook command line. This allows gluster-ansible users to deploy,
configure, and maintain glusterFS clusters with Ansible.

This update addresses the following bugs:

• Previously, in a mix of Virtual Data Optimizer (VDO) and non-VDO disks, the non-VDO disks were updated with the mount options specific to the VDO disks. As a consequence, the non-VDO disks failed to mount after a reboot. With this update, the mount issue is fixed as the non-VDO disks are recognized and the VDO mount options are not added to the non-VDO disks. Thus, the non-VDO disks are successfully mounted after a reboot. (BZ#1667208)
• Previously, deployment was aborted with the "Unknown disktype" message as a system check for RAID 5 was missing. This update adds the disk type RAID 5 along with the required calculations to set values for LVM. Thus, deployments for RAID 5 are successful. (BZ#1683355)

In addition, this update adds the following enhancement:

• With this update, a manual approach is introduced to cleanup gluster deployment in RHHI environment. This allows users to clean failed or existing gluster deployment by running the ‘hc_wizard_inventory.yml’ and ‘gluster_cleanup.yml’ playbook. (BZ#1674725)

These packages are now available from the base channels in Red Hat Network.

All users who require gluster-ansible are advised to upgrade to these updated packages.
