RHBA-2020:5212 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated dependency packages for ovirt-engine and ovirt-host that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are now available.

Description

A list of bugs fixed in this update is available in the Technical Notes
book:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.4/html-single/technical_notes

Changes to the ovirt-ansible-roles component:

• Previously, when deploying Self-Hosted Engine, the Appliance size was not estimated correctly, and as a result, not enough space was allotted, and unpacking the Appliance failed.

In this release, the Appliance size estimation and unpacking space allotment are correct, and deployment succeeds. (BZ#1821425)

Changes to the ovirt-provider-ovn component:

• Previously, when changes were made in the logical network, the ovn-controller on the host sometimes exceeded the timeout interval during recalculation, and calculation was triggered repeatedly. As a result, OVN networking failed.

In this release, recalculation by the ovn-controller is only triggered once per change, and OVN networking is maintained. (BZ#1871819)

• Previously, when the RHV Manager requested a listing of available ports from the ovirt-provider-ovn, the implementation was not optimized for scaling scenarios. As a result, in scenarios with many active OVN vNICs on a Virtual Machine, starting the Virtual Machine was slow and sometimes timed out.

In this release, implementation of listing ports has been optimized for scaling, ans starting a VM with OVN vNICs with many active OVN vNICs is quicker. (BZ#1835550)
