Description Michael Everette 2015-04-17 11:46:31 EDT

Description of problem:

Latest build of RHEV H 6.6 (20150128.0.el6ev) no longer shows "release" in /etc/redhat-release

From RHEVH with the 0114 ISO:

# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor release 6.6 (20150114.0.el6ev)

From RHEVH with the 0128 ISO:

# cat /etc/redhat-release 
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor 6.6 (20150128.0.el6ev)
Additional info:

Customer noticed this and asked why this had been removed. Not sure if this was intentional but wanted to file a bz in case this was a mistake. 

It was causing issues with their monitoring tool that looks for the exact phrasing of old.

Comment 1 Ying Cui 2015-04-20 22:28:37 EDT

I can reproduce this issue both on 6.6 (20150128.0.el6ev) and rhevh 7.1 20150416.0.el7ev.

# cat /etc/redhat-release 
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor 7.1 (20150416.0.el7ev)
# ls -al /etc/redhat-release 
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 23 Apr 16 13:46 /etc/redhat-release -> rhev-hypervisor-release
# cat /etc/rhev-hypervisor-release 
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor 7.1 (20150416.0.el7ev)

There is no "release" shown.

Expected result:
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor release 7.1 (20150416.0.el7ev)
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor release 6.6 (20150128.0.el6ev)

Comment 6 Ying Cui 2015-10-12 02:29:12 EDT

Verified this bug on build:

# ls -al /etc/redhat-release 
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 23 Oct  9 20:38 /etc/redhat-release -> rhev-hypervisor-release
# cat /etc/rhev-hypervisor-release
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor release 7.2 (20151009.0.el7ev)
# cat /etc/redhat-release 
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor release 7.2 (20151009.0.el7ev)
# rpm -qa ovirt-node
ovirt-node-3.3.0-0.13.20151008git03eefb5.el7ev.noarch

There is "release" shown.
