RHEA-2011:0648 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

An enhanced libvirt-cim package is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The libvirt-cim package contains a Common Information Model (CIM) provider based
on Common Manageability Programming Interface (CMPI). It supports most libvirt
virtualization features and allows management of multiple libvirt-based
platforms.

This updated libvirt-cim package adds the following enhancements:

• Previously, the libvirt-cim migration indications did not contain any UUID

(universally unique identifier) values. This update adds the UUID values to
migration indications and improves the ability of the management software to
track migrated virtual machines. (BZ#633331)

• Previously, Virtual Ethernet Port Aggregator (VEPA) and VSI (Virtual Station

Interface) networking capabilities were not supported. This update provides
support for both VEPA and VSI. (BZ#633336)

All libvirt-cim users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which adds
these enhancements.
