2024.1 Series Release Notes

4.7.0-4

Bug Fixes

• Cinder (Dell PowerFlex) bug #2086759: Fixed issue when downloading an image. Previously, we used to fail trying to download an image when using Glance -> Cinder -> Dell PowerFlex configuration which is now fixed with better file handling for the volume device.

4.7.0

New Features

• RBD driver: the rados_connect_timeout config option has been un-deprecated and its behaviour has been improved. A value of 0 is now respected as disabling timeout in requests, while a value less than zero indicates that glance_store will not set a timeout but instead will use whatever timeouts are set in the Ceph configuration file.

Upgrade Notes

• RBD driver: the default value of the rados_connect_timeout option has been changed from 0 to -1, so that the RBD driver will by default use the timeout values defined in ceph.conf. Be aware that setting this option to 0 disables timeouts (that is, the RBD driver will make requests with a timeout of zero, and all requests wait forever), thereby overriding any timeouts that are set in the Ceph configuration file.

Deprecation Notes

• The VMWare Datastore has been deprecated. The vmwareapi Virt driver in Nova was marked as experimental due to lack of CI and maintainers and it may be removed in a future release.
