RHBA-2012:1374 - ovirt-node bug fix update

Synopsis

ovirt-node bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated ovirt-node package that fixes various bugs is now available.

Description

The ovirt-node package provides the utilities and recipes used to create and configure the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor ISO image.

Note: Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor is only available for the Intel 64 and AMD64 architectures with virtualization extensions.

This updated ovirt-node package fixes these bugs:

  • Previously the Hypervisor would not guarantee the order in which Network Interface Cards (NICs) appeared, potentially resulting in a loss of network connectivity. This was the case even where the NIC had been configured for use by the Hypervisor. The Hypervisor has been updated and now ensures that NICs are ordered consistently once configured (BZ#846429).

  • On completion of Hypervisor upgrades the Hypervisor is rebooted. Previously this reboot was performed from within the shell session responsible for performing the upgrade. This resulted in the status of the host being listed in the Manager as "Install Failed" - even when the upgrade was successful. The rhev-hypervisor6 package has been updated. On upgrades the shell session is now allowed to finish gracefully while the reboot is initiated in the background (BZ#863151).

  • When interfaces on the Hypervisor were configured to use a static IP address the status page listed the relevant connection as "none". The Hypervisor has been updated. Connections configured to use a static IP address are now correctly listed on the status page as "static" (BZ#863161).

  • Dell machines using smbios 2.6 or later use the biosdevname utility for device naming in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. Previously when configuring Hypervisor networking on machines using biosdevname for device naming the error "cp:cannot stat'/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules':No such file or directory" was displayed. The Hypervisor has been updated and this error is no longer encountered when configuring networking on machines that use biosdevname (BZ#865047).

This update is included in the build of the rhev-hypervisor6 package associated with errata RHSA-2012:1375:

https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2012-1375.html Users of the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which corrects these issues and adds these enhancements.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
