RHBA-2013:0910 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated libvirt-cim packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The libvirt-cim packages provide a Common Manageability Programming Interface
(CMPI) CIM provider that implements the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF)
System Virtualization, Partitioning and Clustering (SVPC) virtualization model.
These packages support most of the features of libvirt and enable management of
multiple platforms with a single provider.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Previously, if a qemu domain was defined with a bridge network

interface, running the libvirt-cim provider failed with the following error
message:

Unable to start domain: unsupported configuration: scripts are
are not supported on interfaces of type bridge

This was because code triggering a script was added in a file used to create the
domain prior to checking the qemu domain type. However, scripts are not allowed
for qemu domains. With this update, a check for the qemu domain type is
performed prior to adding the code triggering the script. As a result, when
using libvirt-cim, it is now possible to create qemu domains with the bridge
network interface. (BZ#951402)

• Previously, a call to query a guest's current VNC address and port

number returned the static configuration of the guest. If the guest was used to
enable the "autoport" selection, the call did not return the allocated port. The
libvirt-cim code has been modified to only return static configuration
information. This allows other interfaces to return information based on the
domain state. As a result, the current and correct port being used by the domain
for VNC is now returned. (BZ#966877)

Users of libvirt-cim are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.
