Synopsis

virt-who bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory None

Topic

An update for virt-who is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Description

The virt-who service collects information about the connection between the hypervisor and its virtual guests that are present in the system and provides the subscription manager with a mapping file containing the hypervisor-guest pairs. The service periodically queries the hypervisor to report its guests and changes the mapping file accordingly, making sure that the information stored in the subscription manager is accurate.
