RHBA-2019:1557 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

ovirt-provider-ovn bug fix and enhancement update for RHV 4.3.4

Description

The ovirt-provider-ovn package provides support for OVN (Open Virtual Network). It can be installed and configured automatically during engine-setup.

Changes to the ovirt-provider-ovn component:

• after_get_caps is a vdsm hook that periodically checks for a database connection. This hook requires ovs-vswitchd to be running in order to execute properly. Previously, the hook ran even when ovs-vswitchd was disabled, causing an error to be logged to /var/log/messages, eventually flooding it. Now, when the hook starts, it checks if the OVS service is available, and bails out of the hook when the service is not available, so the log is no longer flooded with these error messages. (BZ#1685034)
