Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An new rhevm-sdk-python package for RHEV 3.3 is now available.
Description
The rhevm-sdk-python package provides a Python Software Development Kit to
facilitate the development of custom applications and scripts that interact
with Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager.
The package contains a Python library that simplifies communication with
the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager REST API by providing an
object-oriented view to developers.
This update adds the following enhancements:
- Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager now supports a virtual watchdog
device which can be used to pause, reset, or dump a guest. The watchdog model
and action options can be set from the New Virtual Machine > High Availability
tab in the administration and user portals. Note that in order to use the
watchdog device you need the relevant drivers depending on the guest operating
system.(BZ#947977)
- This package allows injecting external tasks into the application Audit Log.
This enables external systems or plugins to log their events and view them with
the same mechanism used for application events. (BZ#872719)
- This enchancement adds the ability to take live snapshot of a VM that includes
its memory state, and to restore the memory state that is saved as part of a
snapshot when reverting back to it.(BZ#960931)
Users of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager that need to build
custom Python applications or scripts to interact with Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization Manager should install this updated rhevm-sdk-python package.
