Description Michal Skrivanek 2021-01-07 15:52:36 UTC 
Let's add support for running a RHEL 9 guest
- new OS type and drop down
- icon
- make sure qemu-ga works ok
- especially check of QXL/SPICE console since SPICE is dropped from RHEL 9 )our RHEL8 host will have spice-server, but guest may not have qxl)

From bz 1941324:
Configure, by default, RHEL-9 Desktop/Workstation VMs with virtio-vga (and virtio-gpu) devices.

Comment 7 Tamir 2021-06-20 15:27:35 UTC 
Verified on RHV 4.4.7-3. All looks good to me.

Env:
  - Engine instance with RHV 4.4.7-3 (ovirt-engine-4.4.7.3-0.3.el8ev) and RHEL 8.4 installed.
  - 3 hosts with RHV 4.4.7-3 and RHEL 8.4, vdsm-4.40.70.3-1.el8ev


Tests:

  - Ran the RHEL based guest image regression on the latest RHEL 9 image with UEFI and BIOS.
    
    Result: All the tests passed.


  - Checked that QEMU information was retrieved from the VM and it is displayed properly.
    
    Result: The QEMU information was retrieved from the VM and it is displayed properly.


  - Checked that RHEL 9 is listed as an operating systems (Checked Rest and UI).

    Result: It appeared in the dropdown when creating/editing VM/Templates and also in the Rest API:
      
        <name>rhel_9x64</name>
        <description>Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.x x64</description>
        <architecture>x86_64</architecture>

        <name>rhel_9_ppc64</name>
        <description>Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.x</description>
        <architecture>ppc64</architecture>
   

  - Checked that the icon for RHEL 9 is set with RHEL's icon.
    
    Result: The OS icon is set and it is RHEL's icon.
