RHBA-2016:1688 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated redhat-release-virtualization-host packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are now available.

Description

The redhat-release-virtualization-host package provides the Red Hat Virtualization Host. Red Hat Virtualization Hosts (RHVH) are installed using a special build of Red Hat Enterprise Linux with only the packages required to host virtual machines. RHVH features a Cockpit user interface for monitoring the host's resources and performing administrative tasks.

Changes to the redhat-release-rhev-hypervisor component:

• Networking support is disabled in Cockpit and networking can not be configured through Cockpit. Users can drop to the shell and manually write ifcfg files to configure networking. (BZ#1367669)
• If a user configures Red Hat Virtualization Host (RHVH) networking using Cockpit and leaves the Cockpit browser tab open then adds RHVH to the Red Hat Virtualization Manager the DNS configuration of the host is reset. The user must ensure that they log out and close the Cockpit browser tab before adding RHVH to the Red Hat Virtualization Manager. This means that the DNS configuration will be configured as it was previously through RHVH. (BZ#1364126)
• With this update, the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor (RHEV-H) has been renamed to the Red Hat Virtualization Host (RHVH) and the RPM names have been updated to reflect the name change. (BZ#1353893)
