4.3 Bug Fixes in Oracle VM 3.4.6

Oracle VM Release 3.4.6 includes the notable bugs that have been fixed in previous 3.4.x errata releases. Additionally, Oracle VM Release 3.4.6 includes a number of enhancements, as described in Section 3.3, “What's New in Oracle VM Release 3.4.6?”.

Notable bugs fixed in Oracle VM Release 3.4.6 are as follows:

  • Oracle VM Agent for SPARC has been updated to support the removal of the DefaultFixed network configuration profile (NCP) in Oracle Solaris 11.4. (27838128)

  • Issues were addressed that were preventing Oracle VM Server from recognizing resources and PCE-e segmentation with HPE Superdome Flex. (28504712 and 28506351)

  • An additional check has been implemented in the Oracle VM Manager to generate an error when there is an attempt to change the shareable flag in a physical or virtual disk attached to running virtual machine. When running, a virtual machine disk (physical or virtual) is not shareable. Previously, the logic of the Oracle VM Manager would allow such an attempt but would not actually perform the change or generate an error message. (27614615)

  • The Oracle VM Manager Command Line Interface ciphers have been hardened to prevent connections that use weak CBC-based ciphers. (27793673)

  • An issue was addressed in the Oracle VM Manager Command Line Interface that was causing high CPU utilization in CLI sessions. (28450026)

  • The Oracle VM Manager MySQL installer script has been hardened to prevent a deadlock situation when deleting event data records. (26843931)

  • Java Debug Wire Protocol (JDWP) access has been disabled in Oracle VM Manager. JDWP is intended only for debugging. (28543033)

  • Oracle VM Manager has been enhanced to allow the moving of a vm.cfg file from one repository to another, even if the virtual machine is running in the BUI. For more information, see Migrate or Move Virtual Machines in the Oracle VM Manager User's Guide. (26757099)

  • The Oracle VM Agent code has been improved to handle situations where the rpcbind service is disabled. Disabling this service was causing NFS repos to fail to mount after a reboot of Oracle VM Server. (28699279)
