Public bug reported: As of bug #1274702 the hv-kvp-daemon-init pre-reqs the correct packages to enable host<->guest communications for instances running on Microsoft Hyper-V. This package is in main, I would like to see it added to the server seed so that trusty installs on hyper-v are enabled without additional work. Daemons will not be run on non-Hypper-V installations, the only impact would be disk usage which is minimal @ ~.5Mb for all dependencies once installed (~40kB on the installation media).
Package description: The init script starts the user-land daemon for supporting the KVP protocol on Microsoft Hyper-V instances. The KVP protocol provides key-pair exchanges between the kernel and the hyper-visor and is used to report instance demographic details back to Hyper-V. Installations that are not running atop Hyper-V are unaffected. hv-kvp-daemon-init pulls in the following requisites: - linux-cloud-tools-virtual - linux-cloud-tools-common - linux-cloud-tools-<ver>-generic - linux-cloud-tools-<ver> hv-kvp-daemon-init with it's requisites require 39.3kB of space on the installation media. ** Affects: hv-kvp-daemon-init (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to hv-kvp-daemon-init in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1294856 Title: Add hv-kvp-daemon-init to the server seed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hv-kvp-daemon-init/+bug/1294856/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
