RHEA-2018:0638 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

Updated heketi packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements
are now available for Container-Native Storage 3.9 and Container Ready
Storage.

Description

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

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Previously, deleting an heketi pod while some heketi operation was in progress would result in incomplete entries in the database. With this fix, such entries are marked "pending" until the operation is completed thus leading to a consistent database view. (BZ#1415750)
• Earlier, the 'device info' output displayed the state of the device as 'failed' after a device remove operation was completed. With this fix, the state of the device is changed to 'removed' which matches the operation performed. (BZ#1434668)
• Earlier, it was possible to run multiple device remove operations in parallel on the same device. This led to race conditions and database inconsistencies. With this fix, an error is displayed if another device remove operation on the same device is already in progress. (BZ#1437798, 1449312)

Users of Heketi are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
