RHBA-2013:1064 - Red Hat Storage 2.0 enhancement and bug fix update #5

Synopsis

Red Hat Storage 2.0 enhancement and bug fix update #5

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated glusterfs, vdsm, gluster-swift, appliance, and rhs-c packages that fix several bugs are now available for Red Hat Storage 2.0.

Description

Red Hat Storage is software only, scale-out storage that provides flexible and affordable unstructured data storage for the enterprise.

Bug Fixes:

  • The format of the internal key used to identify a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) based hostname was not complied by the parser and the NFS mounts failed when a client with FQDN based hostname was mounted. This issue is now fixed to comply with the parser and the NFS mount works.(BZ#906119)

  • The option to disable root-squash was not executed properly in server protocol module and root-squash could not be disabled when the volume was up. Now, the option to disable the root-squash is executed in the server-protocol and RPC layer and an administrator can disable root-squash while the volume is up.(BZ#964032)

  • When a volume is enabled with root-squash, all the internal/trusted clients must be allowed to bypass the root-squash check. Daemons such as self-heal are passed through root-squash check. Now, there is a mechanism to distinguish the clients which are trusted and root-squash check is not performed on those client processes.(BZ#961492)

  • In quick-read translator, the uid/gid of a user was not copied correctly to the filesystem operations made to the server, thus enabling root-squash on those operations. Non-root users who did not fall under root-squash were also treated as nobody:nobody, thus breaking the POSIX-compliance.This issue is now fixed and the root-squash behavior is consistent with the standards.(BZ#961491)

  • glusterd init/service scripts did not create a lockfile while starting the process. Hence, during a reboot, glusterd process was not stopped automatically. Now, locking and unlocking mechanism have been added in glusterd init script and during reboot, glusterd service stops properly. (BZ#958666)

  • The VDSM in Red Hat Storage 2.0 Update 4 node had Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) enabled but was set to false for communication in the Red Hat Storage Console. Hence, add server failed with a SocketException error. Now, the VDSM is configured to false. After installing VDSM, stop, reconfigure and start the VDSM service to successfully add a server in the Red Hat Storage Console.(BZ#928311)

  • VDSM in Red Hat Storage 2.0 Update 4 node reported cluster compatibility level 3.1/3.2 while the Red Hat Storage Console required compatibility level 2.0. Hence, a Red Hat Storage 2.0 Update 4 node could not be added using the Red Hat Storage Console.The VDSM was modified to support cluster compatibility level 2.0. Now, adding a Red Hat Storage 2.0 Update 4 node using the Red Hat Storage Console is successful.(BZ#924193)

  • The Jboss EAP version available in channel has been updated to 6.1 from 6.0. Hence, Red Hat Storage Console installation fails. Now, the setup scripts is updated to reflect the correct location of Jboss files needed during installation and the installation is successful.(BZ#966864)

  • While adding a Red Hat Storage Update 4 node to Red Hat Storage Console, vdsm-gluster package failed to install due to an error in the Gluster Package Bootstrap component of VDSM. Now, the VDSM bootstrap component is modified and adding a Red Hat Storage node is successful.(BZ#963676)

  • Changelogs in synchronous replication could become incorrect following an ungraceful shutdown of xfs resulting in files not being self-healed or let unreliable self-heal happen, which can lead to potential data corruption. The process of updating changelogs has been made resilient to avoid this inconsistency.(BZ#973922)

  • Installing or upgrading the gluster-swift-plugin RPM overwrites /etc/swift configuration files. Hence, the customer configuration is overwritten, causing data unavailability. Now, the RPM installs or upgrades new configuration files with a non-conflicting extension and customer configuration files are not overwritten, maintaining data availability.(BZ#969224)
