RHBA-2013:1158 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated vdsm packages that fix a bug are now available.

Description

VDSM is a management module that serves as a Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization Manager agent on Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization
Hypervisor or Red Hat Enterprise Linux hosts.

This update fixes the following bug:

• The API now uses strings instead of integers when reporting virtual machine

memory and balloon statistics. This fixes a limitation with xmlrpc that could
only transfer 32-bit signed numbers. Virtual machines defined with a memory
value of 2048 GB or more can now be successfully launched. (BZ#985973)

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

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
https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258

Fixes

• BZ - 985973 - Can't launch VM with 2048 GB memory but 2047 GB is OK.
