Description Jeff Nelson 2016-10-13 15:30:42 UTC

Description of problem:
The content of virtio-win that was shipped in RHEL-7.3 needs to be
backported and released on RHEL-6.9. This is so RHV and RHOSP can
depend on the same Windows guest environment on the latest shipping
releases of RHEL-6 and RHEL-7.

Do not ship pvpanic -- there is no pvpanic support in RHEL-6.

Hello,

Any progress of this bug?
QE plan to do rhel6.9 test recently.We'd like to know when rhel6.9 virtio-win package can be generated.

Thanks

Sorry for the delay.
The updated drivers have been backported

Thanks,
Yash
