RHBA-2012:0757 - libvirt-cim bug fix and enhancement update

Synopsis

libvirt-cim bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

An updated libvirt-cim package that fixes various bugs and adds multiple enhancements is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The libvirt-cim package contains a Common Information Model (CIM) provider based on Common Manageability Programming Interface (CMPI). It supports most libvirt virtualization features and allows management of multiple libvirt-based platforms.

The libvirt-cim package has been upgraded to upstream version 0.6.1, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version. (BZ#739154)

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, the libvirt-cim package required as its dependency the tog-pegasus package, which contains the OpenPegasus Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) services. This is, however, incorrect as libvirt-cim should not require specifically tog-pegasus but any CIM server. With this update, libvirt-cim has been changed to require cim-server instead. The spec files of libvirt-cim and sblim-sfcb have been modified appropriately and libvirt-cim now uses either of the packages as its dependency. (BZ#799037)

This update also adds the following enhancements:

  • Extension for Quality-of-Service (QoS) networking has been added. (BZ#633338)

  • Support for domain events has been added. (BZ#739153)

  • Extensions for networking of Central Processing Unit (CPU) shares have been added. (BZ#739156)

All libvirt-cim users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes these bugs and adds these enhancements.

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
