COMPONENT NAME
Upgrade, systemVM template
CLOUDSTACK VERSION

CONFIGURATION

Upgrade from 4.18.2.3 to 4.19.1.3

OS / ENVIRONMENT

SUMMARY

On management servers with security hardening implemented for example umask set to 0027 the systemVM template upgrade fails. Script 'setup-sysvm-tmplt' creates directory with 'sudo' but attempts to find the template without sudo. This fails in the secured operating systems.

[cloud@mgmt1 ~]$ umask 0027
[cloud@mgmt1 ~]$ sudo mkdir -p /tmp/tmp10896605671384965986/template/tmpl/1/8
[cloud@mgmt1 ~]$ find /tmp/tmp10896605671384965986/template/tmpl/1/8 -name '*.ova'
find: ‘/tmp/tmp10896605671384965986/template/tmpl/1/8’: Permission denied

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set umask to 0027 
2. Upgrade cloudstack from 4.18.2.3 to 4.19.1.3
EXPECTED RESULTS
SystemVM templates are upgraded.
ACTUAL RESULTS
SystemVM templates are not upgraded.

@rajujith @Pearl1594 , should this be documented as an upgrade requirement (set the umask to 0022 at most), or can we search with sudo as well?

I think it would be nice if we could try and see how we can adapt the template registration script to run on a hardened system. And if that is not straightforward, we can document a workaround that the template needs to be pre-registered before upgrade to prevent the script from running.
