ovirt-guest-agent bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated ovirt-guest-agent packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements 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.

Changes to the rhevm-guest-agent component:

• rhevm-guest-agent is no longer dependent on a kernel that made it impossible to use rhevm-guest-agent with PAE versions of the kernel (PAE-kernel, physical address extension). (BZ#1048710)
  
• To support freezing and thawing the file systems, qemu-guest-agent is now installed by default on Linux guests with ovirt-guest-agent. (BZ#1057999)
  
• Previously, attempting to log in to virtual machines using single sign-on would fail under certain conditions. This was caused by an update to the pluggable authentication module used to implement single sign-on, which required more information to authenticate the user than was provided by the single sign-on implementation. Now, the implementation of single sign-on in Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization has been updated so that this additional information is provided and users can log in to virtual machines successfully using single sign-on. (BZ#1102095)
