Details

A new rhev-hypervisor package that contains a Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization Hypervisor ISO disk image is now available.

The Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor is a dedicated
Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) hypervisor. It includes everything
necessary to run and manage virtual machines: a subset of the Red Hat
Enterprise Linux operating environment and the Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization Agent.

This new package contains a LiveCD ISO image and the tools needed to create
USB or PXE bootable media from which Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization
Hypervisor (RHEV-H) can be installed on a dedicated machine. (BZ#529050)

Note: RHEV-H is only available for the Intel 64 and AMD64 architectures
with virtualization extensions.

For more information on deploying and using RHEV-H, refer to the Red Hat
Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor Deployment Guide.

All users requiring a dedicated hypervisor should install this newly
released package.
