RHEA-2016:0376 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

Updated RFEs packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are now available.

Description

The Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager is a centralized management platform that allows system administrators to view and manage virtual machines. The Manager provides a comprehensive range of features including search capabilities, resource management, live migrations, and virtual infrastructure provisioning.

The Manager is a JBoss Application Server application that provides several interfaces through which the virtual environment can be accessed and interacted with, including an Administration Portal, a User Portal, and a Representational State Transfer (REST) Application Programming Interface (API).

A list of bugs fixed in this update is available in the Technical Notes
book:
