In Red Hat Virtualization 4.1, the option to select '/dev/random' as the random number generator has been removed. Moreover, it has been replaced with the option to select '/dev/urandom' (note the 'u') on new virtual machines and related windows when the hwrng device has also been enabled. The following changes must be made in the Administration Guide - * Step 11 of "Creating a New Cluster" must be changed so that it tells users to optionally enable the hwrng device. * The "General Cluster Settings Explained" section must be updated to update the screen capture and remove references to '/dev/random' entirely. The following changes must be made in the Virtual Machine Management guide - * The "Virtual Machine: Random Generator Settings" section must be updated to change references to '/dev/random' to '/dev/urandom'
