Topic

Updated perl-Sys-Virt packages that fix multiple bugs and add various
enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The perl-Sys-Virt packages provide application programming interfaces (APIs) to
manage virtual machines from Perl with the libvirt library.

The perl-Sys-Virt package has been upgraded to upstream version 0.9.10, which
provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version.
(BZ#752436)

This update also fixes the following bugs:

  • Prior to this update, the perl-Sys-Virt spec file did not contain the

"perl(Time::HiRes)" requirement. As a consequence, perl-Sys-Virt could not be
rebuild in mock mode. This update adds the missing requirement to the spec file.
Now, perl-Sys-Virt can is rebuild in mock mode as expected. (BZ#661801)

  • Prior to this update, the perl-Sys-Virt man page did not document the "$flags"

parameter for the "get_xml_description" executable. This update modifies the man
page so that the parameter is correctly documented. (BZ#747483)

  • Prior to this update, the default settings for the remote domain memory

statistics used a length of 16 bits only. As a consequence, the
get_node_cpu_stats() function could send the libvirt error "code: 1, message:
internal error nparams too large". This update modifies libvirt so that the
maximum length is now 1024 bits. (BZ#748689

  • Prior to this update, the bandwidth in the "block_pull and

set_block_job_speed" method was incorrectly given in Kilobytes per second
(Kb/s). This update changes the bandwidth unit to Megabytes per second (Mb/s).
(BZ#773572)

  • Prior to this update, the bandwidth for maximum migration bandwidth was

incorrectly given in Kilobytes per second (Kb/s). This update changes the
maximum migration bandwidth unit to Megabytes per second (Mb/s). (BZ#800766)

  • Prior to this update, the documentation for "Sys::Virt::StoragePool"

incorrectly stated that the object method "get_info()" returns a hash. This
update corrects this misprint and correctly states that object method returns a
hash reference. (BZ#809906)

In addition, this update adds the following enhancements:

  • Prior to this update, the Perl API bindings could not handle tunable

parameters in string format. As a consequence, the block I/O tunable parameters
could not be read or updated. This update adds support for string parameters.
Now, the block I/O tunable parameters can be read and updated from the Perl API.
(BZ#800734)

All users of perl-Sys-Virt are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which fix these bugs and add these enhancements.

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 use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
