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.
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)
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.
