Topic
Updated OpenStack Networking packages that resolve various issues are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 5.0 (Icehouse)
for RHEL 6.
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 Networking service
OpenStack Networking (neutron) is a virtual network service for OpenStack.
Just as OpenStack Compute (nova) provides an API to dynamically request and
configure virtual servers, OpenStack Networking provides an API to
dynamically request and configure virtual networks. These networks connect
'interfaces' from other OpenStack services (e.g. virtual NICs from Compute
VMs). The OpenStack Networking API supports extensions to provide advanced
network capabilities (e.g. QoS, ACLs, network monitoring, etc.)
This update addresses the following issues:
- Previously, OpenStack Networking (neutron) services did not support the SIGHUP signal for reloading configuration files, even though the 'reload' action was set in an the script.
Consequently, the 'reload' action did not send the SIGHUP signal, but restarted the service.
This update addresses this issue by removing the 'reload' action from the init scripts.
As a result, the 'reload' action is no longer present in the init scripts, and calling such action will not have any result. If you wish to retain the previous behavior, then use 'restart' instead. (BZ#1146915)
- This enhancement optimizes 'logrotate' rules for OpenStack Networking (neutron) by rotating logs more frequently to avoid excessive file system usage.
Previously, the OpenStack Networking log files rotated less frequently, with the possibility of excessive file system usage.
As a result of this update, OpenStack Networking log files are rotated based on their size, among other criteria. (BZ#1213452)
- This rebase package includes a notable enhancement under version 2014.1.5:
- dhcp agent: This update adds stability and error resilience enhancements. (BZ#1254720)
- Previously, when using multiple subnets on an external network, traffic from one subnet to the other would be forwarded through the upstream router first.
This resulted in massive inefficiency, to the point that adoption of the concept of multiple subnets on an external network was hindered.
This update addresses this issue by adding an on-link route to each subnet.
As a result, a router connected to an external network is attached to one subnet, thus having one IP address (even if that network has multiple subnets). With this fix, the router will still consume an IP address from only subnet, but also has an on-link route to all subnets on the network. (BZ#1255112)
Solution
Before applying this update, ensure all previously released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.
