Topic

Updated rhev-hypervisor packages that fix several bugs and add various
enhancements are now available.

Description

Packaging of the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor for Red Hat
Enterprise Virtualization 3.5.

The rhev-hypervisor package provides a Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization
Hypervisor ISO disk image. The Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor is a
dedicated Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) hypervisor. It includes
everything necessary to run and manage virtual machines: A subset of the
Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating environment and the Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization Agent.

Note: Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor is only available for
the Intel 64 and AMD64 architectures with virtualization extensions.

Changes to the rhev-hypervisor component:

• With the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.5 release, you can now use a Red

Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor 7.1 in your Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization environment. The Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor 7.1
is a minimal operating system based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1 that is
designed to provide a simple method for setting up a physical machine to act as
a hypervisor in a Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization environment. The minimal
operating system contains only the packages required for the machine to act as a
hypervisor, and features a simple text user interface for configuring the
machine and adding it to an environment. (BZ#1174707)
