Red Hat KVM - Change History


See updates in 2011-2014 years

2011

TKU September 2011

The following improvements were made:

  • Improved relationship creation code between Red Hat KVM VM SI nodes and virtual Host nodes where Microsoft Windows is the guest OS.
  • Added support for the creation of the relationship between Red Hat KVM VM Si nodes and virtual Host nodes where Linux is the guest OS. However, this requires additional discovery features available only in BMC Discovery version 8.3.

2012

TKU March 2012

Improved the check for the KVM running on the server. If no 'KVM' package is found, the pattern searches for qemu-kvm processes that mean that VMs are running on the server.

TKU April 2012

Changed the pattern trigger to make sure that a KVM kernel thread is running on all installations.

TKU November 2012

Added an extra trigger entry to the pattern that creates a relationship from the virtual Host node to the KVM VM SI it is running within. The trigger acknowledges the most recent releases of KVM that are part of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization setups.

2013

TKU October 2013

The following improvements were made:

  • Enhanced the pattern package versioning regex.
  • Updated the pattern to search for the KVM process that handles VMs if no qemu-kvm process is found.
  • Updated the trigger for the KVMVirtualHost pattern (ADDM-11362).

TKU November 2013

Added a vm_class attribute to Host nodes that are running virtualization software discovered by BMC Discovery, which enhances reporting in a future version of BMC Discovery.

2014

TKU April 2014

The following improvements were made to the KVMConsolidateFromSI pattern:

  • Updated the trigger to support Debian installations.
  • Updated ordering of arguments to model.uniquerel.HostContainment
  • Added the type attribute to model.uniquerel.HostContainment.
  • Added support for Proxmox installations.

TKU October 2014

Enhanced the Red Hat KVM pattern to handle the incorrect UUID format correctly (QM001860805).
