RHBA-2014:1721 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated vdsm packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements 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.

Changes to the vdsm component:

• Previously, the VDSM statistics gathering thread did not account for network

devices being removed while an instance of statistics gathering was in progress.
This would result in attempting to retrieve data from a non-existing device,
causing an exception. Now, devices that are removed are also removed from the
statistics report, allowing statistics gathering to return successfully even
when network devices are removed while statistics gathering is in progress.
(BZ#1129377)

All users managing Red Hat Enterprise Linux Virtualization hosts using Red Hat
Enterprise Virtualization Manager are advised to install these updated packages.
