RHEA-2017:2509 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

An update is now available for Red Hat Virtualization Manager.

Description

The Red Hat 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 for accessing and interacting with the virtual environment, including an Administration Portal, a User Portal, and a Representational State Transfer (REST) Application Programming Interface (API).

Changes to the ovirt-engine component:

• Previously, Red Hat Virtualization supported TLS version 1.0. From this release, all components can use TLS version 1.2 for encrypted communication, providing that it is used by all components. (BZ#1454827)
• Previously, setting the Custom Compatibility Version of a virtual machine to null with a REST API produced the following error:

2017-06-26 11:02:05,100+10 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.api.restapi.resource.AbstractBackendResource] (default task-21) [] Operation Failed: [Cannot edit VM. Custom Compatibility Version is not supported: .]

This update allows you to set the Custom Compatibility Version of a virtual machine to null with the following REST API request:

POST /ovirt-engine/api/vms/<vm-id>
...
<vm>
<custom_compatibility_version/>
</vm> (BZ#1464819)

Solution

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