Description Tupper Cole 2016-03-17 12:56:51 UTC

Description of problem:
The channels listed in the documentation do not include rh-common. Minor versions of glusterfs are incompatible, so the clients (RHEV) need to update via rh-common.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):3.6

Comment 1 Yaniv Lavi 2016-03-17 14:59:42 UTC

Did we say this is not needed?

Comment 2 Tupper Cole 2016-03-17 18:02:20 UTC

No, but other docs call out rh-common as a needed channel. 

There should at least be a note that the minor release of glusterfs included in the RHEV channel may not be compatible with the latest glusterfs. Currently some volume operations are not possible using RHEV 3.6 and RHGS 3.1.2, though both were released the same week. The best method is to update glusterfs via rh-common. In environments where documentation is heavily relied upon adding rh-common when not explicitly named can cause unnecessary cases. 

See http://review.gluster.org/#/c/5786/

Comment 3 Yaniv Lavi 2016-03-17 18:07:59 UTC

Any update should be included in RHEV channel via multi errata.

Comment 4 Tupper Cole 2016-03-17 18:26:10 UTC

RHEV channel is an entitlement, which is $$$. I brought this up in gluster-prio-list and received the following from gluster SME
 
"
I would recommend to subscribe to rh-common for their RHEV/RHEL environment.

It is already in RHGS doc, May be a doc bug in RHEL/RHEV should add these recommendation."

I'm not sure what you mean. Your customer is not a RHEV customer?
