RHBA-2014:0964 - 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.

Changes to the ovirt-guest-agent component:

• Previously, the applications_list variable in the configuration file of the

rhevm-guest-agent package contained ovirt-guest-agent entries instead of
rhevm-guest-agent entries. As a consequence, the single sign-on (SSO)
functionality of the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager did not work
under some circumstances. This update amends the contents of the configuration
file, and the Virtualization Manager SSO now functions more consistently.
(BZ#1110828)

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