RHEA-2017:1702 - rhvm-appliance bug fix and enhancement update for RHV 4.1

Synopsis

rhvm-appliance bug fix and enhancement update for RHV 4.1

Type/Severity

Product Enhancement Advisory None

Topic

Updated rhvm-appliance packages are now available.

Description

The RHV-M Virtual Appliance automates the process of installing and configuring the Red Hat Virtualization Manager. The appliance is available to download as an OVA file from the Customer Portal.

Changes to the rhevm-appliance component:

• Previously, the self-hosted engine setup failed if the system clock was set to a time zone that was behind UTC during the installation. This is due to the fact that the Red Hat Virtualization Host generates VDSM certificates at the first boot and if the clock is incorrect, the chronyd or ntpd processes resynchronized the clock. This lead to an invalid certificate if the time zone was behind UTC.

Now, Red Hat Virtualization Host generates the certificates after the chronyd or ntpd processes, and waits two seconds for the clock to synchronize.

Note that if the Red Hat Virtualization Host is configured after the installation, or if the NTP server is too slow, the self-hosted engine setup may fail. (BZ#1456877)
