7.1.0
^^^^^


Bug Fixes
*********

* Fixes a minor issue with the regular expression used for UEFI
  duplicate entry cleanup which was introduced in a prior change to
  refactor the cleanup operation to avoid UEFI firmware which treats
  deletion of entries after addition as an invalid operation.

* Fixes cases where duplicates may not be found in the UEFI firmware
  NVRAM boot entry table by explicitly looking for, and deleting for
  matching labels in advance of creating the EFI boot loader entry.

* In case the CSV file used for the bootloader hint does not have
  BOM we fail reading its content as utf-16 codec is too generic. Fail
  over to utf-16-le as Little Endian is mostly used.

* Fixes configuring UEFI boot when the EFI partition is located on a
  devicemapper device.

* Fixes GenericHardwareManager to find network information for
  bonded interfaces if they exist.

* Fixes a race on software RAID creation: since the creation of
  partitions is asynchronous, we need to wait for all udev events to
  be processed before we can use the partitions to create an md
  device.

* Fixes an issue where partitions are not visible due to a incorrect
  call to have the partition table re-read.

* Fixes an issue where partitions are not visible due to an
  incorrect call to have the partition table re-read during raid
  configuration creation.

* Fixes handling of Software RAID device discovery so RAID device
  "Names" and "Events" field values do not inadvertently cause the
  command to return unexpected output. Previously this could cause a
  deployment to when handling UEFI partitions.

* Fixes an issue when the EFI partition UUID is not set and an
  attempt to edit /etc/fstab is made.

* Fixes handling of a Partition UUID being returned instead of a
  Partition's UUID when the OS may not return the Partition's UUID in
  time. These two fields are typically referred to as PARTUUID and
  UUID, respectively. Often these sorts of issues arise under heavy IO
  load. We now scan, and identify which "UUID" we identified, and
  update a Linux fstab entry appropriately. For more information,
  please see story #2009881
  (https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2009881).

* Recent releases of redhat grub2 will always fail when installing
  to EFI paths, to encourage a transition to the signed shim
  bootloader. Partition image deploys avoid calling grub2-install with
  the preserve-efi-assets functions. Deploying whole disk images
  doesn't require grub2-install. This leaves whole disk images
  installed onto softraid devices, which still calls grub2-install.
  Running grub2-install is still attempted in this one remaining case,
  but any failures are now ignored.

* Fixes failures with handling of Multipath IO devices where
  Active/Passive storage arrays are in use. Previously, "standby"
  paths could result in IO errors causing cleaning to terminate. The
  agent now explicitly attempts to handle and account for multipaths
  based upon the MPIO data available. This requires the "multipath"
  and "multipathd" utility to be present in the ramdisk. These are
  supplied by the "device-mapper-multipath" or "multipath-tools"
  packages, and are not requried for the agent's use.

* Fixes non-ideal behavior when performing cleaning where
  Active/Active MPIO devices would ultimately be cleaned once per IO
  path, instead of once per backend device.

* Fixes discovering WWN/serial numbers for devicemapper devices.


Other Notes
***********

* The agent will now attempt to collect any multipath path
  information and upload it to the agent ramdisk, if the tooling is
  present.
