Enhancement
- [BZ 1060791](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1060791) <b>[RFE] Cleanup, remove IP information guest_info section from VM resource</b>
Feature: <br>
<br>
Remove "guest_info" section from VM resource.<br>
<br>
Reason: <br>
<br>
In previous versions (before 4.0) the RESTAPI reported the information about the IP addresses of guest network interfaces in several places:<br>
<br>
1. /vms/{vm:id}<br>
<br>
<vm href="..." id="..."><br>
...<br>
<name>whatever</name><br>
...<br>
<guest_info><br>
<ips><br>
<ip address="192.168.122.30"/><br>
</ips><br>
<fqdn>whatever.example.com</fqdn><br>
</guest_info><br>
</vm><br>
<br>
2. /vms/{vm:id}/nics and /vms/{vm:id}/reporteddevices<br>
<br>
<nics><br>
<nic><br>
...<br>
<reported_devices><br>
<reported_device href="..." id=".."><br>
<name>eth0</name><br>
<description>guest reported data</description><br>
<type>network</type><br>
<mac address="00:1a:4a:b5:4c:94"/><br>
<ips><br>
<ip address="192.168.1.115" version="v4"/><br>
<ip address="fe80::21a:4aff:feb5:4c94" version="v6"/><br>
<ip address="::1:21a:4aff:feb5:4c94" version="v6"/><br>
</ips><br>
<vm href="..." id="..."/><br>
</reported_device><br>
</reported_devices><br>
...<br>
</nic><br>
</nics><br>
<br>
Number 1 was the first implementation, and is was only for backwards compatibility. It has been removed in 4.0.<br>
<br>
Result: <br>
<br>
The old "guest_info" element has been removed.<br>
