RHBA-2013:1158 - rhev 3.2.2-1 - vdsm bug fix update

Synopsis

rhev 3.2.2-1 - vdsm bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated vdsm packages that fix a bug are now available.

Description

VDSM is a management module that serves as a Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager agent on Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor or Red Hat Enterprise Linux hosts.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • The API now uses strings instead of integers when reporting virtual machine memory and balloon statistics. This fixes a limitation with xmlrpc that could only transfer 32-bit signed numbers. Virtual machines defined with a memory value of 2048 GB or more can now be successfully launched. (BZ#985973)

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

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

Solution

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

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258
