RHBA-2014:0058 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated rhevm-guest-agent packages that fix several bugs are now available.

Description

The rhevm-guest-agent allows the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager to receive internal guest events and retrieve information such as the IP address and list of installed applications from the guest. Additionally the guest agent allows the Manager to execute specific commands, such as shut down or reboot, on guest virtual machines.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• If any tuning profile was already set and the rhevm-guest-agent-common package was installed, it changed the current active profile to "virtual-guest". Now, the agent configures a tuned profile only if it is set as the default or if the current profile is off. (BZ#991538)
• This update removes the /bin/systemctl daemon-reload call, which is required for systemd in Red Hat Enterprise Linux postinstall scripts, but not for the ovirt-guest-agent. (BZ#1022046)

Users of the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization guest agents are advised to install these updated rhevm-guest-agent packages in their virtual machines.
