The hyperv-daemons package, which includes
the hypervfcopyd,
hypervkvpd, and hypervvssd
packages, provides the Hyper-V file-copy, key-value pair (KVP),
and volume shadow copy service (VSS) daemons for an Oracle Linux
guest that is running under Hyper-V on a Microsoft Windows host.
The file-copy daemon (hv_fcopy_daemon)
implements a file-copying service
(hypervfcopyd) between the host and a guest.
The KVP daemon (hv_kvp_daemon) implements the
hypervkvpd service, which uses the virtual
machine bus (VMbus) to send information
about a guest to the host.
The VSS daemon (hv_vss_daemon) implements the
hypervvssd service, which allows you to
create snapshots and backups of volumes from the host without
preventing processes that are running in a guest from writing to
or reading from those volumes.
Reboot the guest after installing the package.
