RHEA-2016:0406 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

Updated rhevm-cli packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are now available.

Description

The rhevm-cli package provides a command line interface for interacting with Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager.

Changes to the rhevm-cli component:

• Previously, the CLI did not support authentication to a RHEV-M server that was configured with Kerberos and only supported authentication using a username and password. Now, the CLI supports authentication using a previously obtained Kerberos ticket by specifying the --kerberos command line option. (BZ#1145239)
• It is now possible for a user to check if a storage domain is aleady attached to a storage pool before importing it to prevent data corruption of an already activated storage domain in a different setup. A new API has been provided to support this, and can be executed by sending a POST request to '/api/storagedomains/{%storagedomain_id%}/isattached'.

Note: Executing this API will cause the storage domain to disconnect from the host executing this API. (BZ#1179246)
