oVirt Release 4.0.2 Notes:http://www.ovirt.org/release/4.0.2/

Known issues

• BZ 1297835 Host install fails on Fedora 23 due to lack of dep on python2-dnf
  On Fedora >= 23 dnf package manager with python 3 is used by default while ovirt-host-deploy is executed by ovirt-engine using python2. This cause Host install to fail on Fedora >= 23 due to lack of python2-dnf in the default environment. As workaround please install manually python2-dnf on the host before trying to add it to the engine.

What’s New in 4.0.2?

Enhancement

oVirt Engine

Team: Virt

• BZ 1348907 During cluster level upgrade – warn and mark VMs as pending a configuration change when they are running
  The user is informed about running/suspended VMs in a cluster when changing cluster version.
  All such VMs are marked with a Next Run Configuration symbol to denote the requirement for rebooting them as soon as possible.

  Prior this patch, the cluster upgrade was blocked if there’s a running VM in the cluster.

• BZ 1310804 [RFE] Override instance type on VmPools in Python-SDK
  The instance type field was missing in the REST API VM pools resource. This patch adds both the ability to pick one during create VM pool and to report the currently configured one.

Team: Infra

• BZ 1346782 Display also pretty name along with name, version and release in Host Detail tab in Hosts view
  Feature: AS part of the NGN(New Generation Node) support, this enhancement displays now the OS pretty name for all OS that has a /etc/os-release file with the PRETTY_NAME entry

  Reason: We should display in addition to general OS information more details about the OS in case of NGN

  Result: When you select a host in UI, you can see an additional field in the “Software” option on the Host sub-tab named “OD Description” that displays the OS pretty name

  * This enhancement is no accessible to the REST API
