RHBA-2017:1291 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated redhat-virtualization-host packages are now available.

Description

The redhat-virtualization-host packages provide the Red Hat Virtualization Host. These packages include redhat-release-virtualization-host, ovirt-node, and rhev-hypervisor. 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 ovirt-node-ng component:

• In this release, the vdsm-client has been added as a dependency, and it replaces the now deprecated vdsClient. (BZ#1421533)

Changes to the rhev-hypervisor-ng component:

• Red Hat Virtualization Host (RHVH) now supports NIST 800-53 partitioning requirements to improve security. RHVH uses a NIST 800-53 partition layout by default, and existing configurations will be changed on update. (BZ#1447887)
