Synopsis

redhat-virtualization-host bug fix, and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated redhat-virtualization-host packages are now available.

Description

Changes to the imgbased component:

• Previously, upgrades failed if the imgbased package tried to parse output from locales that used commas as the decimal separator. Now, when performing upgrades, the locale is set to POSIX, which ensures that the decimal separator is a period. (BZ#1455659)
  

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)

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
