• VTd and PCI passthrough are now supported. The VT-d feature provides hardware support for
directly assigning physical PCI devices to a guest. The main benefit of the feature is to improve the
performance of guest I/O to bare-metal levels for assigned PCI devices. Supported architectures for
VTd include: 32 bit x86, 64-bit Intel EM64T and 64-bit Intel Itanium 2. (

1.235. virt-viewer
1.235.1. RHBA-2009:1299: bug fix update
A updated virt-viewer package that fixes two issues with the "-w" option is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.
Virtual Machine Viewer provides a graphical console client for connecting to virtual machines. It uses
the GTK-VNC widget to provide the display, and libvirt for looking up VNC server details.
This update addresses the following two bugs:
• the "-w" or "--wait" options (for "wait for domain to start") returned an "invalid option" error rather
than waiting for the nominated domain to start. (
BZ#444024

)
• when a guest was started up, running "virt-viewer --wait [guestname]" did not result in notification of
the guest's changed status and did not result in virt-viewer connecting to the newly-started guest.

All Virtual Machine Viewer users should install this updated package which fixes these two problems.
