Synopsis

ovirt-guest-agent bug fix and enhancement update for RHV 4.0.7

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated ovirt-guest-agent packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are now available.

Description

The ovirt-guest-agent allows the Red Hat 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, when virtual machines were stopped during a system shutdown or reboot they appeared to VDSM as if they had been shut down from within the guest operating system. This information was sent to the Red Hat Virtualization Manager and this meant that the Manager did not start highly available virtual machines on a different host because the Manager considered the the shut down of the virtual machines to be user-initiated. Now, the Red Hat Virtualization guest agent allows VDSM to detect that the virtual machine was shut down from within the system and this means that highly available virtual machines stopped during a system shutdown are restarted on a different host. (BZ#1389332)
