Updated rhevm packages that fix various bugs are now available.

Description

The Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager is a centralized management
platform that allows system administrators to view and manage virtual machines.
The Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager provides a comprehensive range of
features including search capabilities, resource management, live migrations,
and virtual infrastructure provisioning.

The Manager is a JBoss Application Server application that provides several
interfaces through which the virtual environment can be accessed and interacted
with, including an Administration Portal, a User Portal, and a Representational
State Transfer (REST) Application Programming Interface (API).

Previously upgrading from Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager 3.0 to 3.1
was not formally supported. This update fixes a number of known issues with the
upgrade process. As a result upgrading from Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization
Manager 3.0 to 3.1 is now supported for the majority of installations.

Known Issues:

• Upgrades of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.0 environments that contain V1
  format block (iSCSI or FCP) storage domains that (1) are larger than 250 GB in
  size and (2) were created in Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 2.2, are not
  supported. Changing the compatibility mode of a data center that contains such
  storage domains to 3.1 will result in a failure. A future update will correct
  this issue. Please note that V1 block storage domains created using the REST API
  in Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.0 are unaffected. (BZ#893184)
