Description of problem: Under Settings/Configuration the Server Control Server Roles selections do not change the actual server roles without an appliance restart. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.6.0.8-rc1.20160524155303_f2a5a50 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Navigate to settings/configuration 2. Turn off every single role, even the UI Actual results: Nothing. Expected results: The role's selected should be enabled, and the roles not selected should be disabled. Additional info: When the appliance is first configured, the roles enabled are: database_operations,event,reporting,scheduler,smartstate,ems_operations,ems_inventory,user_interface,websocket,web_services,automate You can see this in vmdb/config/settings.yml and by running rake evm:status If you change all the roles in the UI, this doesn't change. If you restart the evm service, it takes effect, visible by running evm:status, although settings.yml never changes. (It's also obvious when it starts working since, if you disable all the roles, you can still happily move about the UI. Once the roles take effect after the restart that breaks obviously.) This is true for disabling as well as enabling roles, so for example, at the moment it is impossible to enable C&U without restarting the appliance.
I think the same fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1339702 might fix this issue as well.
