| ==== Other Improvements ====
| |
| Need to pick improvements from release notes above.
| |
| | |
| ===== virt-manager Updated to 0.400.0 =====
| |
| https://www.redhat.com/archives/et-mgmt-tools/2008-September/msg00027.html
| |
| New features:
| |
| * New tool 'virt-convert': Allows converting between different types of virt configuration files. Currently only supports vmx -> virt-image.
| |
| * New tool 'virt-pack': Converts virt-image xml format to vmx and packs in a tar.gz. (Note this will likely be merged with virt-convert in the future).
| |
| * virt-install: Support for remote VM installation. Can use install media and disk images on remote host if shared via libvirt. Allows provisioning storage on remote pools.
| |
| * virt-install new options:
| |
| new --wait option, allows putting a hard time limit on installs.
| |
| new --sound option, to create VM with soundcard emulation.
| |
| new --disk option, allows specifying media as a path, storage volume, or
| |
| a pool to provision storage on, device type, and several other options.
| |
| Deprecates --file, --size, --nonsparse.
| |
| new --prompt option. Input prompting is no longer the default, this
| |
| option turns it back on.
| |
| * virt-install: allow setting cpu pinning information for qemu/kvm VMs.
| |
| * virt-install: numa support via --cpuset=auto option.
| |
| * virt-image: --replace option to overwrite existing VM image file.
| |
| * virt-image: support multiple network interfaces in virt-image format.
| |
| * use virtio disk/net drivers if chosen os entry supports it (Fedora 9/10, Ubuntu Hardy).
| |
| * Numerous bug fixes and minor improvements.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ===== libvirt Updated to 0.4.6 =====
| |
| New features and improvments since 0.4.2:
| |
| * Enhanced OpenVZ support
| |
| * Enhanced Linux containers (LXC) support
| |
| * Storage pools API
| |
| * Improved iSCSI support
| |
| * USB device passthrough for QEmu and KVM
| |
| * Sound, serial, and parallel device support for QEmu and Xen
| |
| * Support for NUMA and vCPU pinning in QEmu
| |
| * Unified XML domain and network parsing for all virtualization drivers
| |
| | |
| For further details see: http://www.libvirt.org/news.html
| |
| | |
| ===== Xen Updated to 3.3.0 =====
| |
| This is a major new release with a host of new features including:
| |
| * Power management (P & C states) in the hypervisor
| |
| * HVM emulation domains ('qemu-on-minios') for better scalability, performance and security
| |
| * PVGrub: boot PV kernels using real GRUB inside the PV domain
| |
| * Better PV performance: domain lock removed from pagetable-update paths
| |
| * Shadow3: optimisations to make this the best shadow pagetable algorithm yet, making HVM performance better than ever
| |
| * Hardware Assisted Paging enhancements: 2MB page support for better TLB locality
| |
| * CPUID feature levelling: allows safe domain migration across systems with different CPU models.
| |
| * PVSCSI drivers for SCSI access direct into PV guests
| |
| * HVM framebuffer optimisations: scan for framebuffer updates more efficiently
| |
| * Device passthrough enhancements
| |
| * Full x86 real-mode emulation for HVM guests on Intel VT: supports a much wider range of legacy guest OSes
| |
| * New qemu merge with upstream development
| |
| * Many other changes in both x86 and IA64 ports
