1.211.1. RHBA-2010:0281: bug fix update
An updated virt-manager package that fixes several bugs and adds an enhancement is now available.
Virtual Machine Manager (virt-manager) is a graphical tool for administering virtual machines for KVM, Xen, and QEMU. virt-manager can start, stop, add or remove virtualized devices, connect to a graphical or serial console, and see resource usage statistics for existing virtualized guests on local or remote machines. virt-manager uses the libvirt API.
This updated package addresses the following issues:
* adding new isolated virtual networks could create broken or abnormal network configurations. The updated package provides better error handling for network creation. (
BZ#508273)
* various errors occurred after adding 19 volumes to the storage pool. (
BZ#508357)
* various virt-manager menus and menu items did not have keyboard shortcuts. (
BZ#509746)
* paused virtualized guests could be sent keys using the 'Send Key' options which could make paused virtualized guests shut down or restart. The 'Send Key' menu is now disabled if a virtualized guest is paused. (
BZ#509808)
* setting the "Autoconnect" option resulted in an error and virtualized guests consoles were not automatically opened. (
BZ#509985)
* migration from a remote host to a local host (both hosts connected to virt-manager) failed. The updated package resolves this issue and migrations to and from a local host work. (
BZ#510702)
* migrations were, in some cases, very slow with virt-manager for systems with multiple network interface cards of different speeds. The updated virt-manager has an advanced option which allows users to specify which IP address and port to use for a live migration. Specifying the fastest network interface will speed up migrations. (
BZ#518487)
* virt-manager did not save changes CPU or memory settings to the configuration files unless another feature was modified. In the updated package, changed memory and CPU settings are stored persistently. (
BZ#522096)
* specifying an address and port for a remote server using an unecrypted TCP connection caused VNC connections to fail. VNC connections work in the updated package when accessing remote hosts with the TCP connection type. (
BZ#534005)
* virt-manager did not persistently store new devices or changes to device configuration settings to the configuration files. virt-manager now makes devices persistent in configuration files when new devices are added. (
BZ#539496)
* a traceback error occurred in virt-manager caused by the retry_login function. The updated package handles this error. (
BZ#436320)
The updated package adds the following enhancements:
* support for creating routed virtual networks with virt-manager. (
BZ#452644)
All Virtual Machine Manager users should install this updated package which fixes bugs and adds an enhancement.
