Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated OpenStack Block Storage packages that resolve various issues are
now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 6.0 (Juno)
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 advisory includes
packages for:
- OpenStack Block Storage service
OpenStack Block Storage (cinder) manages block storage mounting and the
presentation of such mounted block storage to instances. The back-end
physical storage can consist of local disks, Fiber Channel, iSCSI, and/or
NFS mounts attached to Compute nodes. In addition, Block Storage supports
volume backups, and snapshots for temporary save and restore operations.
Programmatic management is available through the Block Storage service's
API.
With this update, OpenStack Block Storage is now re-based to upstream version
2014.2.3. This applies several fixes and improvements, most notably:
- Previously, iSCSI settings were not saved in the underlying operating
system. This resulted in empty configurations for iSCSI targets; this,
in turn, cleared the iSCSI targets upon start/restart. With this
update, iSCSI changes in target.service default configuration are now
persistent, thereby ensuring that iSCSI targets are not cleared upon
start/restart.
- An SSH connection throttling issue prevented the IBM Storwize driver
from initializing when attempting to configure more than three pools
on the same back end. This update fixes the problem by adding a delay
to the Storwize driver initialization, which then allows multiple SSH
connections to establish themselves over a longer time period.
