RHBA-2015:1311 - hyperv-daemons bug fix update

Synopsis

hyperv-daemons bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated hyperv-daemons packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The hyperv-daemons packages provide a suite of daemons that are needed when a Red Hat Enterprise Linux guest is running on Microsoft Hyper-V. The following daemons are included:

  • hypervkvpd, the guest Hyper-V Key-Value Pair (KVP) daemon
  • hypervvssd, the implementation of Hyper-V VSS functionality
  • hypervfcopyd, the implementation of Hyper-V file copy service functionality

This update fixes the following bug:

  • When mounting a read-only file system that does not support file system freezing (such as SquashFS) and using the online backup feature, the online backup previously failed with an "Operation not supported" error. This update fixes the hypervvssd daemon so that it handles the online backup correctly, and the described error no longer occurs. (BZ#1161368)

Users of hyperv-daemons are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.

Solution

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