Description Udayendu Sekhar Kar 2014-06-19 14:09:22 UTC
Description of problem:
In rhevm 3.4 Admin guide "rhevm-guest-agent" should be modified to "rhevm-guest-agent-common".

https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/3.4/html-single/Administration_Guide/index.html#sect-Guest_Drivers_and_Agents

Currently this rhevm-guest-agent is alreasy obsoleted by rhevm-guest-agent-command but docs is not modified.

In the above link also "rhevm-guest-agent" should be modified in the guest agent section.

Hi Lucy,

Would you be able to spin up a Red Hat Enterprise Linux virtual machine to cover the behaviour outlined above and update the documentation to reflect the new work flow?

Kind regards,

Andrew

Tested install behaviour of rhevm-guest-agent. The original command still works (the system will find rhevm-guest-agent-common and install it anyway), as does the new command "yum install rhevm-guest-agent-common". For clarity and accuracy, I have updated the Guest Agents and Drivers sections (topics 11323 and 9360) to include "rhevm-guest-agent-common" in place of "rhevm-guest-agent".

What Changed
------------------------------
A new topic was created between the time of my original edit and this QA (and topic 11323 was removed from the guide). This topic refers correctly to "rhevm-guest-agent-common":

Installing the Guest Agents and Drivers on Red Hat Enterprise Linux [40908-686460]

In the following topic, two instances of "rhevm-guest-agent" were updated to "rhevm-guest-agent-common":

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Guest Drivers and Guest Agents [9360-681031]

Updated revision history: [34613-687011]
