Both issues are fixed upstream in
commit ad0221b4eed02049674ca4584fa4c585f0f3203f.
Upstream help output is now:
$ virt-top --help
virt-top : a 'top'-like utility for virtualization
[...]
-c uri Connect to libvirt URI
--connect uri Connect to libvirt URI
[...]
Upstream manual page now contains:
-c uri or --connect uri
Connect to the libvirt URI given.
To connect to QEMU/KVM you would normally do -c qemu:///system
To connect to Xen on the same host, do -c xen:///
To connect to libvirtd on a remote machine you would normally do -c
qemu://host/system
If this option is not given then virt-top connects by default to
whatever is the default hypervisor for libvirt, although this can
be overridden by setting environment variables.
See the libvirt documentation at <http://libvirt.org/uri.html> for
further information.
Setting flags. Easy fix for 6.1. However if it is too late, then we can bump it to 6.2. Flags are wrong for updating the erratum. The error is:
----------
There were problems with the following fields:
Idsfixed Bug 680344 does not have the correct flags. Requires rhel-6.1.0,devel_ack,qa_ack,pm_ack but only has devel_ack+, pm_ack+, qa_ack?, rhel-6.1.0?.

Description of problem: Run virt-top --help and man virt-top they both cover the default the Xen hypervisor,this is incorrect. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-top-1.0.4-3.7.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.run virt-top --help -c uri Connect to URI (default: Xen) --connect uri Connect to URI (default: Xen) 2.man virt-top -c uri or --connect uri Connect to URI given. The default is to connect to the Xen hypervisor. To connect to QEMU/KVM you would normally do -c qemu:///system To connect to libvirtd on a remote machine you would normally do -c xen://host/ Full details on connection URIs is available at <http://libvirt.org/uri.html> 3. Actual results: Expected results: In virt-top --help (default:Xen) should be omitted In man virt-top "The default is to connect to the Xen hypervisor." should be omitted. Additional info:
