Comment 6 Steve Goodman 2018-11-13 14:21:22 UTC
This is now taking lower priority than the P0s for 4.3.

Comment 7 Steve Goodman 2019-01-02 15:43:09 UTC
This is a P1 for 4.3k so should target 4.3.1. Current draft is here:

This has been reviewed by SME.

Comment 9 Sandro Bonazzola 2019-01-28 09:44:21 UTC
This bug has not been marked as blocker for oVirt 4.3.0.
Since we are releasing it tomorrow, January 29th, this bug has been re-targeted to 4.3.1.

Comment 15 Steve Goodman 2019-06-17 12:45:16 UTC
Because this is only Tech Preview, I'm moving it to target 4.3.5.

Comment 16 Steve Goodman 2019-06-17 12:45:49 UTC
I also changed priority to Medium

Comment 20 Steve Goodman 2020-01-13 12:56:12 UTC
What exactly is not the default? Do you mean that q35 is not the default chipset when creating a new cluster in RHV 4.4?

Comment 21 Ryan Barry 2020-01-13 13:29:08 UTC
The default is Q35 with legacy bios, not Q35/UEFI

Comment 22 Steve Goodman 2020-03-03 14:38:59 UTC
*** Bug 1663212 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 23 Steve Goodman 2020-03-03 14:40:18 UTC
I changed the version in the bug to 4.4.0 because this feature won't present in RHV until 4.4 Beta.
