RHBA-2020:4113 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated host packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are now available.

Description

The ovirt-hosted-engine-setup package provides a self-hosted engine tool for the Red Hat Virtualization Manager. A self-hosted engine is a virtualized environment in which the Manager runs on a virtual machine on the hosts managed by the Manager.

v2v-conversion-host is an Ansible role and daemonizing virt-v2v wrapper that turns a Red Hat Virtualization host into a conversion host for CloudForms migration.

VDSM is a management module that serves as a Red Hat Virtualization Manager agent on Red Hat Virtualization Hosts (RHVH) or Red Hat Enterprise Linux hosts.

Changes to the ovirt-hosted-engine-setup component:

• Require ansible-2.9.13, which was tested with ovirt-hosted-engine-setup included in RHV 4.3.11 (BZ#1873055)

Changes to the v2v-conversion-host component:

• After updating the packages on a conversion host, it stopped displaying conversion progress. The current release fixes this issue. The conversion host reports its progress performing conversions, including on the latest RHEL 7-based hosts. (BZ#1855213)

Changes to the vdsm component:

• Host capabilities retrieval was failing for certain non-NUMA CPU topologies. That has been fixed and host capabilities should be correctly reported now for those topologies. (BZ#1852315)
• Previously, the `slot` parameter was parsed as a string, causing disk rollback to fail during the creation of a virtual machine from a template when using an Ansible script. Note that there was no such failure when using the Administration Portal to create a virtual machine from a template.

With this update, the `slot` parameter is parsed as an int, so disk rollback and virtual machine creation succeed. (BZ#1851854)
