Description of problem: SME review of chapter 5 found these errors and/or needed corrections: (1) Section 5.1 virsh (a) heavy use of 'domains', which is ok, but the doc previously used 'guests' or 'guest virtual machines' or 'guest VMs'. (2) Section 5.2 virt-manager (a) like other tools, should list that it's package is virt-manager, so customers don't infer its in libvirt-client or other pkg. (3) Section 5.3 virt-install (a) spice is also support for graphics, so the following: "SDL graphics, or a VNC client/server pair." should be replaced by: "SDL, SPICE, or VNC client/server pair graphics." (4) Section 5.5 Other useful tools (a) virt-filesystems -- it is part of libguestfs-tools-c package, not libguestfs-tools package. (b) virt-ls -- ditto (a) (c) virt-p2v -- *remove*; it will not make rhel6.2 (d) virt-resize -- what does "in-place" mean in the description ? -- ask rjones? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:

However it is better if people "yum install libguestfs-tools" (not libguestfs-tools-c). libguestfs-tools requires libguestfs-tools-c. The reason we have the package split is to allow RHEV-H to just include libguestfs-tools-c (ie. the tools that are written in C and don't require Perl). libguestfs-tools-c is kind of an internal package. I would just leave the documentation as it is. > (d) virt-resize > -- what does "in-place" mean in the description ? -- ask rjones? Change: "It cannot resize disk images in-place." to: "It works by copying the guest image and leaving the original disk image untouched."
If libguestfs-tools requires libguestfs-tools-c, then all the other references in that section to libguestfs-tools-c should be changed to libguestfs-tools. so the above is the needed change/bz in the doc.
Yup, I didn't notice those. It's probably best if all references to libguestfs-tools-c are changed to libguestfs-tools. libguestfs-tools requires libguestfs-tools-c at installation time so the effect is that customers will get all of the tools installed at once.
