RHEA-2018:1958 - gdeploy bug fix and enhancement update

Synopsis

gdeploy bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Product Enhancement Advisory None

Topic

Updated gdeploy packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Gluster Storage 3.3 Update 1.

Description

gdeploy is a tool which automates the process of creating, formatting, and mounting bricks. When setting up a fresh cluster, gdeploy could be the preferred choice of cluster set up, as manually executing numerous commands can be error-prone. The advantages of using gdeploy includes automated brick creation, flexibility in choosing the drives to configure (sd, vd,etc.), and flexibility in naming the logical volumes (LV) and volume groups(VG).

This update addresses the following bugs:

  • Earlier, if no size was specified, 100% of the available disk was used. With this update, extents can be provided for the disk size. (BZ#1523692)

  • Previously, despite failed PCS authentication, NFS Ganesha installation would proceed and execute further steps. A new flag ‘ignore_ganesha_errors’ is introduced with this update. Which can be set either 'yes' or 'no' to control the execution. If set to yes, errors will be ignored. If set to no, execution stops at the first error. (BZ#1563923)

In addition, this update adds the following enhancements:

  • The CPU Quota is now flexible for the scale functionality. As a result, in a shared workload scenarios the compute resource requirements are shared with the application along with GlusterFS CPU consumption. (BZ#1411902)

  • Earlier only one disk was allowed per volume group. Now more than one disk is allowed per volume group. (BZ#1489439)

Users of gdeploy with Red Hat Gluster Storage are advised to upgrade tothis updated package, which fixes these bugs and adds these enhancements.
