RHEA-2017:2742 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

New ovirt-ansible-roles package containing the the Ansible roles for RHV 4.1.6 is available.

Description

The ovirt-ansible-roles package contains Ansible roles, which automate common Red Hat Virtualization administration tasks.

Changes to the ovirt-ansible-roles component:

• The ovirt-ansible-roles package contains Ansible roles, which can help administrators with common Red Hat Virtualization administration tasks. All roles can be executed from the command line using Ansible, but some of those roles can also be executed directly from the Red Hat Virtualization Manager. More details about the roles can be found in README.md included in the package (/usr/share/doc/ovirt-ansible-roles/README.md), or directly in the source code repository (https://github.com/ovirt/ovirt-ansible).

Please note that currently Ansible has the following bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1487113 Because of this bug you should avoid calling multiple oVirt Ansible roles in a single playbook, or calling oVirt Ansible modules prior to calling oVirt Ansible roles in a single playbook (the working solution is to call the modules from the pre_tasks). (BZ#1482104)

• This Ansible role can be used to automate upgrading the whole cluster to a higher version. More information can be found at https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-ansible/blob/ovirt-ansible-1.0/roles/ovirt-cluster-upgrade/README.md (BZ#1486573)
