virtio-win bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated virtio-win packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The virtio-win packages provide paravirtualized network drivers for most
Microsoft Windows operating systems. Paravirtualized drivers are
virtualization-aware drivers used by fully virtualized guests running on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux.
This update fixes the following bug:
- In virtio-win-1.6.3, Windows Server 2012 drivers were certified as a
"Network-Other Device" product type, instead of a "Network-LAN (Server)" product
type. Since no certification information was listed in the Windows Server
Catalog website, users were unaware that there was support for the "Network-LAN
(Server)" product type for the Windows Server 2012 Platform. This update adds a
newer pre-WHQL driver build as a "Network-LAN (Server)" product type, and
certification information is now included on the Windows Server Catalog website.
(BZ#956228)
Users of virtio-win are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.
