RHBA-2009:1421 - libvirt-cim bug fix update

Synopsis

libvirt-cim bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated libvirt-cim package that fixes a bug is now available.

Description

The libvirt-cim package is a Common Manageablity Programming Interface (CMPI) CIM provider that implements the Distributed Management Task Force's (DMTF's) System Virtualization, Partitioning and Clustering (SVPC) virtualization model. This package supports most of the features of libvirt and enables management of multiple platforms with a single provider.

This updated libvirt-cim package fixes the following bug:

  • during installation, when the libvirt-cim package was selected in the KVM group, the xen package was installed as a dependency. This update removes the dependency on the xen package so that installing libvirt-cim does not cause the xen package to be installed. This is useful for customers who wish to use KVM virtualization with libvirt and libvirt-cim. (BZ#517817)

All users of libvirt-cim are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.
