RHBA-2011:0358 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated vdsm22 packages that resolve an issue are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.6.

Description

The Virtual Desktop Server Manager (VDSM) is a management module that serves as
a Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager (RHEV-M) agent on RHEV-Hypervisor
(RHEV-H) or Red Hat Enterprise Linux hosts.

These updated vdsm22 packages fix the following bug:

• In certain cases, the "POOL_DESCRIPTION" field was removed from the storage

domain metadata. As a result, storage domains with a missing "POOL_DESCRIPTION"
field failed to connect to a storage pool. With this update, an empty
description is used in the "POOL_DESCRIPTION" field when the field is undefined,
thus, no longer causing failures to connect. (BZ#684801)

All users of vdsm22 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve this issue.
