| Doc Text: |
Cause:
VM wasn't recognized as a valid, KVM one due to a BIOS name returned from within VM not being as expected.
Consequence:
RHEV Windows Guest Tools were not recognizing the VM as one requiring the installation of the support guest tools.
Fix:
Relevant components were fixed on the RHEL 7 side to return the BIOS name string that the installer was expected to see.
Result:
Now the installation inside VM running on a RHEL 7 based host functioning as expected.

Regretting based on updated support metric. XP shouldn't be a blocker but expected during 3.4.z. Tried rhev-guest-tools-iso-3.3-6 and rhev-guest-tools-iso-3.5-2.el6_5 on qemu-kvm-1.5.3-60.el7_0.6.x86_64/seabios-1.7.2.2-12.el7_0.1.x86_64 which can complete installation successfully. host info: # uname -r && rpm -q qemu-kvm && rpm -q seabios 3.10.0-128.el7.x86_64 qemu-kvm-1.5.3-60.el7_0.6.x86_64 seabios-1.7.2.2-12.el7_0.1.x86_64 guest info: winXP rhev-guest-tools-iso-3.3-6.noarch.rpm rhev-guest-tools-iso-3.5-2.el6_5.noarch.rpm Results: both rhev-guest-tools-iso-3.5-2.el6_5 can be completed installation successfully. ############################################################### If use seabios-1.7.2.2-12.el7.x86_64 to test which can hit this issue, the abort dialog box appears "Installation of RHEV-Tools on the Guest should be performed only when running on RHEL 6 type Host (RHEV-H or RHEL). Installation aorted." host info: # uname -r && rpm -q qemu-kvm && rpm -q seabios 3.10.0-128.el7.x86_64 qemu-kvm-1.5.3-60.el7_0.6.x86_64 seabios-1.7.2.2-12.el7.x86_64 guest info: winXP rhev-guest-tools-iso-3.3-6.noarch.rpm Base on above, I think seabios-1.7.2.2-12.el7_0.1.x86_64 in bug 1124216 also fix this issue. Best Regards, sluo Lev according to comment #19, can we move this to QA? (In reply to Sandro Bonazzola from comment #20) > Lev according to comment #19, can we move this to QA? Yes, it should be OK. ok, 3.5.2 on rhel7 host in 3.5 setup. vdsm-4.16.1-4.gitb2bf270.el7.x86_64 seabios-bin-1.7.2.2-12.el7.x86_64 qemu-kvm-1.5.3-60.el7_0.5.x86_64 |
