RHBA-2010:0418 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated xen package that changes some PCI device classes, ensuring the
Storage Query Property test (part of the Windows Logo test) are passed, is
now available.

Description

Xen is a high performance and secure open source virtualization framework.
Virtualization allows users to run guest operating systems in virtual
machines on top of a host operating system.

These updated xen packages fix the following bug:

• previously, some para-virtualized drivers returned a STORAGE_BUS_TYPE

(SCSI in this case) that was inconsistent with its PCI class code. They,
consequently, failed the Storage Query Property test (part of the Windows
Logo test). With this update, these drivers' class and sub-class were
changed from "Unclassified" and "Other" to "Storage" and "SCSI"
respectively. This is consistent with their STORAGE_BUS_TYPE and they now
pass the Storage Query Property test. (BZ#580398)

All Xen users, particularly those running guest instances of Windows,
should install this update, which addresses this issue.

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
