This isn't going to be available in time for 7.6, but we can target 7.7.  In the interim, heres a link to some scratch rpms with the commands enable for you to confirm that they work as expected:

Comment 4 Daniel Forsberg 2018-05-30 19:44:48 UTC

Hi!

Thanks! 

What do you men cant target 7.6? 
This is a minor update that only affects the ipxe kernel file ipxe.lkrn adding the vcreate and vdestroy commands to it.

There should be no problem to update RHEL 7.5 with this.

Comment 5 Neil Horman 2018-05-30 19:59:23 UTC

I mean exactly what I said.  7.5 has long been released, and 7.6 is about to go out the door.  feature updates have already been planned for that release, and 7.7 is the next one undergoing planning.  If you want this fix in 7.5 or 7.6 this needs to be filed against 7.7 and z-stream requests need to be made through your support representative (though feature enhancements normally don't qualify for z-stream releases).

Did the package I give you the commands you needed, and do they function as expected?

Comment 6 Neil Horman 2018-06-12 14:59:16 UTC

ping, any response here?

Comment 7 Daniel Forsberg 2018-06-15 07:55:38 UTC

Hi,

Sorry for late reply.

I have tested it and can confirm that the vcreate and vdestroy parts work in that build!

Thanks!

Comment 8 Neil Horman 2018-06-15 11:11:14 UTC

Ok, I'll propose this for 7.7 then, and will integrate if its accepted
