Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated python-virtinst package that fixes several bugs is now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The python-virtinst package contains several command-line utilities, including
virt-install for building and installing new virtual machines, and virt-clone
for cloning existing virtual machines.
This update fixes the following bugs:
- Previously, the virt-manager tool generated an invalid XML code when defining
a bridge interface. As a consequence, bridge devices could not be created. With
this update, virt-manager generates the correct definition XML and creating
bridge devices no longer fails. (BZ#1172407)
- Prior to this update, input from the user was validated incorrectly by the
virt-install utility. Consequently, a non-sparse LVM could not be created and an
error message was displayed. This update fixes the input validation and
virt-install can now create a non-sparse LVM as expected and an error no longer
occurs. (BZ#1167998)
- Previously, changing the processor type to "copy from host" caused all CPU
extensions to be copied manually, even extensions that were not supported for
migration. As a consequence, running the "virsh save" command after reboot
failed, and an error message was displayed. With this update, when the
"--cpu=host" option is specified, the "cpu mode='host-model'" option is used. As
a result, unsupported extensions are not no longer manually copied, and the
described error no longer occurs. (BZ#1167072)
Users of python-virtinst are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
fixes these bugs.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.
