Topic
Updated vdsm22 packages that resolve an issue are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.7.
Description
VDSM is a management module that serves as the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization
Manager agent on Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor and Red Hat
Enterprise Linux hosts.
These updated vdsm22 packages fix the following bugs:
- When merging snapshots VDSM did not persistently save rollback information to
disk. A restart of VDSM during a snapshot merge operation had the potential to
cause data loss. This is no longer the case (BZ#757769).
- When adding a tap device to a bridge no check was made to ensure that the MTUs
of the two devices matched. Unless users manually set the MTU of the tap device
to match that of the bridge non-default MTU settings for virtual machines could
not be supported. VDSM now ensures that the tap device's MTU matches that of the
bridge it is being added to (BZ#758031).
All users of vdsm22 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve this issue.
