Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An update for virt-who is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The virt-who service collects information about the connection between the hypervisor and its virtual guests that are present in the system and provides the subscription manager with a mapping file containing the hypervisor-guest pairs. The service periodically queries the hypervisor to report its guests and changes the mapping file accordingly, making sure that the information stored in the subscription manager is accurate.
For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.10 Release Notes and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.10 Technical Notes linked from the References section.
Users of virt-who are advised to upgrade to these updated packages.
