RHBA-2012:1578 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
ovirt-node bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated ovirt-node package that fixes various bugs is now available.
Description
The ovirt-node package provides the utilities and recipes used to create and
configure the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor ISO image.
Note: Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor is only available for
the Intel 64 and AMD64 architectures with virtualization extensions.
This update fixes these bugs:
- When loading the Red Hat Network (RHN) screen the Hypervisor previously used
the rhn_check command to determine whether the machine was registered to RHN.
This led to delays on systems with slow network connections. As a result the
screen appeared to flicker when loading the RHN configuration screen. The
Hypervisor now checks the local file system to determine whether the system is
registered to RHN, eliminating the delay (BZ#883400).
- The rhevh-iso-to-disk command is provided by the rhev-hypervisor-tools
package. The rhevh-iso-to-disk command requires files provided by the syslinux
package but this dependency was not reflected in the requirements of the
rhev-hypervisor-tools package. It was therefore possible to install
rhev-hypervisor-tools without installing all dependencies needed for the scripts
it provides to work correctly. The rhev-hypervisor-tools package has been
updated and it now lists the syslinux package as required (BZ#883400).
This updated package is included in the rhev-hypervisor6 package associated with
advisory RHBA-2012:1579
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2012-1579.html
Users of the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor are advised to
upgrade to this updated package, which corrects these issues and adds these
enhancements.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
