RHEA-2020:3246 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

Updated host packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are now available.

Description

The ovirt-engine package provides the manager for virtualization environments.
This manager enables admins to define hosts and networks, as well as to add
storage, create VMs and manage user permissions.

A list of bugs fixed in this update is available in the Technical Notes
book:

The Cockpit package, cockpit-ovirt, is a Linux system administration tool with a web UI, easy setup, and minimal system footprint at runtime. When installed on hosts in Red Hat Virtualization, it provides monitoring and management functions beyond those available in the Administration Portal. Cockpit is installed by default on Red Hat Virtualization Host (RHVH).

The ovirt-host package consolidates host package requirements into a single meta package.

The ovirt-hosted-engine-ha package enables the self-hosted engine to be highly available. A self-hosted engine is a virtualized environment in which the Red Hat Virtualization Manager runs on a virtual machine on the hosts managed by the Manager. If the host running the virtual machine goes into maintenance, the virtual machine is migrated automatically to another host in the environment.

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.

The ovirt-imageio-daemon package provides the daemon that manages image data transfers in Red Hat Virtualization.

The redhat-virtualization-host packages provide the Red Hat Virtualization Host. These packages include redhat-release-virtualization-host. Red Hat Virtualization Hosts (RHVH) are installed using a special build of Red Hat Enterprise Linux with only the packages required to host virtual machines. RHVH features a Cockpit user interface for monitoring the host's resources and performing administrative tasks.

v2v-conversion-host is an Ansible role and daemonizing virt-v2v wrapper that turns a Red Hat Virtualization host into a conversion host for CloudForms migration.

VDSM is a management module that serves as a Red Hat Virtualization Manager agent on Red Hat Virtualization Hosts (RHVH) or Red Hat Enterprise Linux hosts.
