oVirt 4.5.2 Release Notes

oVirt Engine

• BZ 2107250 Upgrade of the host failed as the oVirt 4.3 hypervisor is based on RHEL 7 with openssl 1.0.z, but oVirt Engine 4.4 uses the openssl 1.1.z syntaxProcess to check certificate validity has been changed to be compatible with both RHEL 8 and RHEL 7 based hypervisors
• BZ 2097560 Warning when ovsdb-server certificates are about to expire(engine certificate)Expiration of ovirt-provider-ovn certificate is now checked regularly along with other oVirt certificates (such as engine CA, engine or hypervisors) and if ovirt-provider-ovn is going to expire or already expired, the warning or alert is being raised into audit log. To renew ovirt-provider-ovn certificate administators need to run engine-setup.If your ovirt-provider-ovn certificate expires on previous oVirt version, please upgrade to oVirt 4.5 batch 2 or newer, and ovirt-provider-ovn certificate will be renewed automatically as a part of engine-setup
• BZ 2104408 /var/cache/dnf fills up and will cause upgrades to failyum cache is now cleared always before upgrading a host to minimize issues with filling up available space in /var/tmp
• BZ 2090645 Host stuck in state ‘Connecting’ when certificates expireHost should move to NonResposive status when VDSM certificate expires.
• BZ 2096523 Failed to run “Check for Upgrade”It’s now possible to install and upgrade hypervisors using non-standard SSH port

Enhancements

VDSM

• BZ 1793207 [RFE] Notify if multipath User Friendly Names are usedFeature: Protect users from using wrong multipath configuration by parsing the configuration in vdsm-tool, look for user_friendly_names setting occurrences, and print a warning if enabled. Reason: It is not supported to use multipath User Friendly Names(UFN) on oVirt hosts, but it is not enforced either. It may cause corruption in block SDs if a host is running with UFN enabled. Result: $ vdsm-tool is-configured –module multipath WARNING: Invalid configuration: ‘user_friendly_names’ is enabled in multipath configuration: section1 { key1 value1 user_friendly_names yes key2 value2 } section2 { user_friendly_names yes } This configuration is not supported and may lead to storage domain corruption.
