Description

VDSM is a management module that serves as a Red Hat Virtualization Manager agent on Red Hat Virtualization Hosts (RHVH) or Red Hat Enterprise Linux hosts.

Changes to the VDSM component:

• Previously, upgrading from an old sanlock version would silently fail and leave the system partially configured. This happened because the older sanlock version would not report some of the runtime configuration values. The current release fixes this issue. (BZ#2013383)
• Previously, virtual machines would occasionally retain stale or no guest information because the VDSM failed to communicate with the QEMU guest agent. The current release fixes this issue. (BZ#2003432)
