Hi,
Tim and Erik, thanks for the links!
I saw the RPMs in CentOS7.1 are patched for venom and that they support rbd
(but I haven't tested on my conf yet).
My nova-compute nodes are on CentOS7.0 and IceHouse, do you think they will
break if I upgrade them to CentOS7.1?
Or do you think it will be simpler to just recompile the RHEV SRPMs and
replace with the ones I've got?
Thanks again,
Best regards,
Cynthia
