Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
After upgrading to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5, the Xen hypervisor was unable to auto-start domains linked to in the /etc/xen/auto/ directory. This was caused by the default Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 SELinux policy preventing the xm daemon from reading the symlinks in the /etc/xen/auto directory, with the result that the xm daemon could not start the virtual guests. These updated selinux-policy packages contain an updated SELinux policy that allows the xm daemon to correctly read the symbolic links in /etc/xen/auto. The xm service is now able to auto-start virtual guests upon system startup.
