RHEA-2017:0148 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

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

Description

Heketi provides the Red Hat Gluster Storage volume life cycle management. It creates the Red Hat Gluster Storage volumes dynamically and supports multiple Red Hat Gluster Storage clusters.

The following list provides the major enhancements and bug fixes made to the Heketi component for this release:

• Previously, the 'endpoints' and 'service' on the 'projects/namespaces' had to be created to use Red Hat Gluster Storage persistent volumes. With this release, when the volumes are dynamically provisioned by the gluster provisioner, the subjected 'endpoint' and 'service' are auto created and the user will be able to use these persistent volumes. (BZ#1354640)
• Previously, Heketi created a 32GB volume to store the heketi db file, which was much more than the average requirement. With this release, the size of the volume is been reduced to 2GB. This does not change the volume size of existing setups and is applicable only for new setups. (BZ#1406649)
• Previously, the minimum brick size was 4GB and the minimum volume size that could be created was 8GB. With this release, the minimum brick size is 1GB and volumes as small as 1GB can be created. (BZ#1406655)
• This version of Heketi adds a new cli command called 'node list' which lists all the nodes in the clusters managed by Heketi.

For example:

# heketi-cli node list
(BZ#1351893)
