Topic
Updated perl-Sys-Virt packages, that support new libvirt APIs, are now available
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The perl-Sys-Virt package provides an API for managing virtual machines from
Perl, using the libvirt library.
This update fixes the following bug:
Previously, perl-Sys-Virt was not able to authenticate with libvirt ESX driver
connections. This update fixes the compatibility with ESX driver and introduces
support for new APIs in the rebased libvirt package. (BZ#63200)
All users of Perl or Perl-based tools, which use virtual machine management, are
advised to upgrade to this updated package which fixes this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
