Topic
Updated openvswitch packages that resolve an issue are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 5.0 (Icehouse) for RHEL 7.
Description
Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform provides the facilities for
building a private or public infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) cloud
running on commonly available physical hardware.
This update addresses the following issues:
An incompatibility between openvswitch-2.1.2-2.el7_0.1 and the Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 7.1 kernels could cause the ovs-vswitchd process to crash. As
a result, OpenVSwitch would cease to function, causing issues in OpenStack
clouds which used OpenVSwitch. A fix was identified to resolve the issue, and
the result is correct functioning of OpenVSwitch (bz#1201455)
