RHEA-2014:0352 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

An updated rhel-guest-image package that adds one enhancement is now available
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The rhel-guest-image package provides a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 KVM Guest
Image for cloud instances. This image is provided as a minimally configured
system image which is available for use as-is or for configuration and
customization as required by end users.

This update adds the following enhancement:

• This update adds the rhevm-guest-agent package to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux

guest images. Now, Red Hat Enterprise Linux virtual machines can be installed
with a guest agent in Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization. The rhevm-guest-agent
allows the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager to receive internal guest
events and retrieve information such as the IP address and list of installed
applications from the guest. This update contains kernel version
2.6.32-431.11.2, and a new rhevm-guest-agent-common package. (BZ#1073095)

Users of rhel-guest-image are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which add this enhancement.
