Product Enhancement Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated virtio-win package that adds one enhancement is now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The virtio-win package provides paravirtualized device drivers for most
Microsoft Windows operating systems. Paravirtualized drivers are
virtualization-aware drivers used by fully virtualized guests running on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. Fully virtualized guests using the paravirtualized drivers
gain significantly better I/O performance than fully virtualized guests running
without the drivers.
This update adds the following enhancement:
- The virtio-win package now includes drivers for Windows 10, which allows users
of virtio-win to create Windows 10 guests. (BZ#1282348)
Users of virtio-win are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which adds
this enhancement.
