Topic
Updated ovirt-hosted-engine-setup packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are now available.
Description
The ovirt-hosted-engine-setup package provides a self-hosted engine tool for the Red Hat Virtualization Manager. A self-hosted engine is a virtualized environment in which the Manager runs on a virtual machine on the hosts managed by the Manager.
Changes to the ovirt-hosted-engine-setup component:
- This fix allows the self-hosted engine virtual machine to run on the host. (BZ#1628836)
- The self-hosted engine backup and restore flow has been improved, and now works correctly when the self-hosted engine storage domain is defined as the master storage domain. (BZ#1638096)
- Previously, testing for the new version of Ansible, version 2.8, uncovered that it would not deploy Red Hat Virtualization manager as a self-hosted engine. This issue was due to incomplete updates to roles and playbooks that were required for Ansible work with the new singular form of the ovirt module names. The current release fixes this issue. (BZ#1667511)
- The current release of the self-hosted engine supports deployment with static IPv6. (BZ#1372134)
- During a self-hosted engine deployment, SSO authentication errors may occur stating that a valid profile cannot be found in credentials and to check the logs for more details. The interim workaround is to retry the authentication attempt more than once. See BZ#1695523 for a specific example involving Kerberos SSO and engine-backup. (BZ#1660595)
- Previously, testing of Ansible 2.8 returned deprecation errors and warnings during deployment. The current release fixes this issue. (BZ#1674477)
- This bug fix allows the restore-from-file command to execute even if a certificate is not current or is expiring soon. If an error message persists while executing the command, one workaround is to renew the certificates at restore time prior to executing the command to restore-from-file. (BZ#1686445)
