Die Release Notes für die oVirt Version 3.6.2

What’s New in 3.6.2?

BZ 1285236 Provided feedback about the status of the recovery
More logs have been added improving feedback during the recovery flow helping the administrator understanding what VDSM is doing during the recovery, and providing progress report.

BZ 1290678 Rebalance option have been disabled on the menu for non-distributed volumes

BZ 1205724 Host in maintenance mode now stop glusterd and glusterfsd processes

BZ 1205727 Host activation now restart glusterd

BZ 1162508 DNF support
ovirt-engine-setup used to rely on yum compatibility layer to work on recent distributions that comes with DNF package manager installed by default. Now it can work directly with DNF package manager.

BZ 1182097 MOM performance have been improved

BZ 1295852 Added the ability to override the Storage Domain name field
This changed field will be reflected in the engine DB and in the GUI but will not get updated in the Storage Domain metadata until the user will update the Storage Domain once it is active.
Once a Storage Domain will be imported, if the name field will be blank then the value from the Storage Domain metadata will be initialized, otherwise the fields which were provided in the user request will be used.

Known Issues

BZ 1221926 – engine-setup –offline does not update versionlock
Cause: a bug in engine-setup running in offline mode

Consequence: cause version lock wasn’t written inside the appliance on versions < 3.6.2: yum update cause ovirt-engine packages to be updated without a database update by engine-setup.

Workaround (if any): avoid to use –offline on verson < 3.6.2; in hosted-engine deployment with the appliance avoid to use the automatic setup. When upgrading appliance from a previous version to 3.6.2 be sure to upgrade setup packages only: yum update „ovirt-engine-setup*“ and then run engine-setup.
