Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
This Red Hat Network Tools enhancement adds support for KVM guest
management.
Description
The RHN Satellite web-based user interface allows for the
provisioning of and management of virtualized guests.
The support for KVM guest management specifically covers:
- provisioning of KVM guests. (BZ#530553, BZ#530583, BZ#532433)
- starting, stopping, suspending and resuming KVM guests.
(BZ#510606)
- synchronization of KVM guest profiles with RHN Satellite.
(BZ#529688, BZ#532429)
This update of Red Hat Network Tools also re-enables support for
the provisioning of fully-virtualized Xen guests. (BZ#520812)
Solution
Install or update packages associated with this errata to be able
to provision and manage KVM guests from RHN Satellite.
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filenames]
where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
desired RPMs.
Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
