RHBA-2013:0635 - rhev 3.1.3.1 - vdsm bug fix update

Synopsis

rhev 3.1.3.1 - vdsm bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated vdsm packages that fix several bugs are now available.

Description

The Virtual Desktop Server Manager (VDSM) is a management module that serves as the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager's agent on Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor or Red Hat Enterprise Linux virtualization hosts.

This update fixes several bugs:

  • Previously, the qemu-kvm-rhev-tools package was required when adding hosts to the Manager. On Gluster-enabled hosts, the qemu-kvm-tools package was provided instead, so Gluster nodes could not be added to the Manager. Now, both packages are available in the yum repositories, and qemu-kvm-rhev-tools is installed on Gluster nodes, which can then be added to the Manager. (BZ#913608)

  • Writing bond names to the bonding_masters file did not add new bonding devices, so only two bonds were enabled when new hosts were added to the Manager. Now, the bonding_masters file is opened with each added bond, and data for each bond is persistently written onto the file, so more than two bonds can be used. (BZ#917349)

All users managing Red Hat Enterprise Linux Virtualization hosts using Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager are advised to install these updated packages which fix these bugs.

These updated packages will be provided to users of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor in the next rhev-hypervisor6 errata package.
