v1.1.0

Key features

• Remove consolevm script, now replaced by vm-mgr console.
• Add nostart options for VM deployment.
• Update submodules to latest versions.

Bug fixes

• Playbooks improvements for ansible-lint.
• SEAPATH Debian: add missing capabilities for pacemaker service to fix live migration.
• SEAPATH Yocto: always keep systemd-resolved.service enable to prevent dnsmasq.service to fail
• Remove obsolete code.

API changes

Multiple variables are renamed with this release. Existing inventories should be updated accordingly:

• tmpdir --> configure_ha_tmpdir (role configure_ha)
• ptp_network_transport --> timemaster_ptp_network_transport (role timemaster)
• ptp_delay_mechanism --> timemaster_ptp_delay_mechanism (role timemaster)
• hugepages --> yocto_hugespages (role yocto/hugepages)
• on existing debian installations, you need to install 3 packages for v1.1 to work properly:
  • python3-pip
  • python3-wheel
  • patch
    you can get those packages from the debian website, upload them to your servers and install them manually with dpkg, or use apt if you have connectivity to a debian mirror.

• SEAPATH Yocto: cukinia test "Check for file with no user and group" might fails #695
