Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated xen-ia64-guest-firmware package that fixes a bug is now
available.
Description
The xen-ia64-guest-firmware package provides fully virtualized Itanium(R)
guests with virtual EFI firmware, which is required for booting a fully
virtualized guest.
If 14GB of memory was assigned to a Microsoft Windows guest, the guest was
unable to boot. In this updated package, Microsoft Windows guests with more
than 14GB of memory boot correctly.
Users of xen-ia64-guest-firmware are advised to upgrade to this updated
package, which resolves this issue.

errata relevant to your system have been applied.
