RHBA-2017:0044 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated vdsm packages are now available.

Description

VDSM is a management module that serves as a Red Hat Virtualization Manager agent on Red Hat Virtualization Host or Red Hat Enterprise Linux hosts.

Changes to the vdsm component:

• Previously, if a virtual machine shutdown was too slow, the state of the virtual machine could have been misreported as unresponsive, even though the virtual machine was operating correctly, albeit too slowly. This was caused by a too-aggressive checking on startup and shutdown. This patch takes into account slowdowns in startup and shutdown, avoiding false positive reports. (BZ#1391506)
