RHBA-2019:3746 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated OpenStack Compute 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 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:

• Previously, the Compute service diagnostics command returned `IndexError` on compute instances that used VFIO interfaces. This patch resolves that issue by retrieving interface data directly from the guest's XML definition. (BZ#1722253)

Solution

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

• An explanation of the way in which the provided components interact to

form a working cloud computing environment.

• Technology Previews, Recommended Practices, and Known Issues.
• The channels required for Red Hat OpenStack Platform 14, including which

channels need to be enabled and disabled.
