RHBA-2013:0704 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated vdsm packages that fix a bug are now available.

Description

The Virtual Desktop Server Manager (VDSM) is a management module that serves as
the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager's agent on Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization Hypervisor or Red Hat Enterprise Linux
virtualization hosts.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Performance speed for Storage Pool Manager (SPM) tasks was reduced when the

ISO domain was inactive and disconnected from the SPM. Now, VDSM computes the
ISO prefix asynchronously, and does not wait for the ISO domain to report its
prefix before executing SPM tasks, so the performance of SPM tasks remains
constant. (BZ#920136)

All users managing Red Hat Enterprise Linux Virtualization hosts using Red Hat
Enterprise Virtualization Manager are advised to install these updated packages
which fix these bugs.

These updated packages will be provided to users of Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization Hypervisor in the next rhev-hypervisor6 errata package.

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
