RHBA-2010:0100 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated rhn-virtualization package which provides support for polling
guest VMs via the Virtual Desktop Server Manager (VDSM) service is now
available.

Description

The rhn-virtualization package provides several Red Hat Network and RHN
Satellite actions for manipulating virtual machine guest images.

• the rhn-virtualization package installs a cron job that runs on the host

machine and reports virtual guests' status changes to Red Hat Network or to
RHN Satellite. This update provides support for polling for the statuses of
guest VMs via the Virtual Desktop Server Manager (VDSM) service, which
allows the rhn-virtualization package to be deployed on a RHEV hypervisor.
(BZ#548812)

Users of rhn-virtualization who require deployment on a RHEV hypervisor are
advised to install this updated package.

Solution

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

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains
the
desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

yum update

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
