RHBA-2021:3245 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated package that resolves an issue is now available for Red Hat
OpenStack Platform 16.1 (Train) for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8.2.

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.

Changes to the tripleo-ansible component:

• The grub2 tooling wrote Kernel argument changes to /boot/grub2/grubenv. This file was not available to UEFI boot systems. This issue caused Kernel argument changes to not persist across reboots on UEFI boot nodes. This fix changes both the /boot/grub2/grubenv file and the /boot/efi/EFI/redhat/grubenv files when you make Kernel argument changes. As a result, the director now applies persistent Kernel argument changes for UEFI boot nodes. (BZ#1974507)

Solution
