RHEA-2017:1210 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Synopsis

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager 3.6.11

Type/Severity

Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

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

Description

The Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager is a centralized management platform that allows system administrators to view and manage virtual machines. The Manager provides a comprehensive range of features including search capabilities, resource management, live migrations, and virtual infrastructure provisioning.

The Manager is a JBoss Application Server application that provides several interfaces through which the virtual environment can be accessed and interacted with, including an Administration Portal, a User Portal, and a Representational State Transfer (REST) Application Programming Interface (API).

Changes to the ovirt-engine component:

  • This update ensures that configuration changes to the self-hosted engine virtual machine are propagated immediately to the storage domain. Previously, configuration changes were not propagated to the storage domain, and self-hosted engine tooling had to wait for the normal OVF refresh cycle to view the updated configuration. (BZ#1343991)
  • This update fixes an issue where V2V fails for a VMware external provider which contains special characters in a data center, cluster, or folder name. The characters are now encoded on the V2V engine side before sending them to the VDSM.

1) This solution encodes the VMware data center and VMware cluster parts of the uri. For example, in the URI vpx://user@vcenter///esxi?no_verify=1 the and parts are encoded, including folders if they exist. Other parts of the URI are left decoded.

2) The UI will display the data center and cluster as was originally typed by the user.

3. The encoding is done on the frontend and should be also done while using REST APIs for VMware V2V. (BZ#1379363)

  • The latest virtio-win release which includes Windows 10 drivers is now required by Red Hat Virtualization Manager to ensure it will be upgraded. (BZ#1379564)
  • Previously, when merging a snapshot to a base RAW volume, the RAW volume was not refreshed. This meant that merging a snapshot that was extended to a RAW base volume when the virtual machine was not running on the SPM would fail. This update ensures that the VDSM refreshes the base volume as needed. (BZ#1386612)
  • With this update, the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager prevents upgrading to version 3.6 if there are any self hosted engine hosts running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. (BZ#1395357)
  • Previously, when a backup was executed the log only showed 'Started' and 'Finished' values without further information. This meant that it was not obvious what process had started and finished. Now, the log shows 'Backup started at' and 'Backup finished at' values when a backup is executed so that it is clear what process has started and finished. (BZ#1396586)
  • A bug was discovered in the sysprep templates for 64-bit platforms where some parts were improperly marked as "for 32-bit platform" and thus ignored by Windows. This has now been fixed. (BZ#1402817)
  • This release introduces a 'force' flag, which can be used to update a storage server connection regardless of the associated storage domain status (allowing updates even when the storage domain is not in Maintenance mode).

For example: PUT /ovirt-engine/api/storageconnections/123;force=true (BZ#1386606)

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
