Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated virtio-win package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
Description
The virtio-win package provides paravirtualized network drivers for most Microsoft Windows operating systems. Paravirtualized drivers are virtualization-aware drivers used by fully virtualized guests running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Fully virtualized guests using the paravirtualized drivers gain significantly better I/O performance than fully virtualized guests running without the drivers.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, an error in the virtio-win drivers prevented qemu on Windows from responding to the fs-freeze monitor command. The error has been corrected, and qemu on Windows now responds to fs-freeze monitor. (BZ#1613815)
Users of virtio-win are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes this bug.
