Description

Red Hat Storage is software-only, scale-out storage that provides flexible and affordable unstructured data storage for an enterprise. GlusterFS, a key building block of Red Hat Storage, is based on a stackable user-space design and can deliver exceptional performance for diverse workloads. GlusterFS aggregates various storage servers over network interconnections into one large, parallel network file system.

This update fixes numerous bugs and adds various enhancements in RDMA, SMB, Snapshot, Swift, NFS, Quota, and Geo-replication. Space precludes documenting all of these changes in this advisory. Users are directed to the Red Hat Storage 3 Technical Notes, linked to in the References section, for information on the most significant of these changes.

This advisory adds the following enhancements:

  • With this advisory, User Serviceability Snapshot is out of technology preview and is supported. You can now view and retrieve snapshots using CIFS for a Windows client. A new volume set option 'features.show-snapshot-directory' is added to make the '.snaps' directory explicitly visible at the root of the share. (BZ#1094830)

  • With this advisory, Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) support for communication between GlusterFS bricks and clients is out of technology preview and is supported. It fixes bugs and provides options to configure RDMA support for the new and existing volumes. (BZ#852276)

  • Red Hat Storage Object Store has been rebased to Red Hat OpenStack Icehouse. This feature allows you to schedule deletion of objects which are stored in the Red Hat Storage volume. You can use the Object expiration feature to specify a lifetime for objects in the volume. When the lifetime of an object expires, it automatically stops serving that object at the specified time and shortly thereafter removes the object from the Red Hat Storage volume. (BZ#1180463)

  • A new command, 'gstatus' provides an easy-to-use, high-level view of the health of a trusted storage pool with a single command. It gathers information by executing the GlusterFS commands, to gather information about the statuses of the Red Hat Storage nodes, volumes, and bricks. The gstatus command is under technology preview. (BZ#1171546)

All users of Red Hat Storage are advised to install these updated packages.
