RHBA-2019:3803 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated OpenStack Networking 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 Networking service

OpenStack Networking (neutron) is a virtual network service for OpenStack.
Just as OpenStack Compute (nova) provides an API to dynamically request and
configure virtual servers, OpenStack Networking provides an API to
dynamically request and configure virtual networks. These networks connect
'interfaces' from other OpenStack services (e.g. virtual NICs from Compute
VMs). The OpenStack Networking API supports extensions to provide advanced
network capabilities (e.g. QoS, ACLs, network monitoring, etc.)

Changes to the python-networking-ovn component:

• Previously, when you performed a hard reset on a node, `ovn-controller` was disabled without cleaning the entry in the chassis column, and the corresponding port status was not set to `down`. `networking-ovn` monitors only for status changes between `down` and `up`, and so the port binding status was not updated and the port did not become `ACTIVE`. As a result, instance evacuation failed because the port was not `ACTIVE`.

With this update, `networking-ovn` monitors the `Port_Binding` table for chassis changes and triggers a port status change to `ACTIVE` when a port moves to another chassis. As a result, instance evacuation functions normally. (BZ#1727856)

Solution

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

Red Hat OpenStack Platform 13 runs on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.7.

The Red Hat OpenStack Platform 13 Release Notes contain the following:

• 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 13, including which

channels need to be enabled and disabled.
