RHEA-2019:1566 - ovirt-engine bug fix and enhancement update

Synopsis

ovirt-engine bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Product Enhancement Advisory None

Topic

Updated ovirt-engine packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are now available.

Description

The ovirt-engine package provides the manager for virtualization environments. This manager enables admins to define hosts and networks, as well as to add storage, create VMs and manage user permissions.

Changes to the ovirt-engine component:

  • In some scenarios, the PCI address of a hotplugged SR-IOV vNIC was overwritten by an empty value, and as a result, the NIC name in the virtual machine was changed following a reboot. In this release, the vNIC PCI address is stored in the database and the NIC name persists following a virtual machine reboot. (BZ#1717434)

  • TBA (BZ#1717765)

  • A new configuration variable 'EventPurgeTimeoutInHours' has been added to set the number of hours an event can stay in the queue before being cleaned up. The variable can be modified using engine-config. The initial default value is 3 hours. (BZ#1689702)

  • TBA (BZ#1690328)

  • Updating the Data Center level while the virtual machine was suspended, resulted in the virtual machine not resuming activity following the update. In this release, the suspended virtual machine must be resumed before the Data Center level update. Otherwise, the operation fails. (BZ#1710740)

  • A new generic Linux x86 operating system selection named ‘Other Linux (kernel 4.x)’ has been added to the drop down list of operating systems available when creating a new virtual machine in Red Hat Virtualization. (BZ#1341161)
