RHEA-2019:1563 - Product Enhancement Advisory

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:

• The self-hosted engine was not detecting exceptions or failures when the ‘--vm-start’ command was initiated. As a result, the retry count was not incremented and therefore the score of the host was not reduced for rescheduling.

In this release, the self-hosted engine setup fails when the create VM functionality fails. As a result, the self-hosted engine High Availability agent can adjust its retry count and reduce the score of the host, giving other hosts a higher priority. (BZ#1627958)

• TBA (BZ#1712667)
