Event posted on 07-13-2009 04:12pm EDT by jkachuck ------- Comment From mknutson.com 2009-07-13 15:56 EDT------- Red Hat - When will we see KVM documentation? what it supports, what it doesn't support, how to use it, what are it's limits in numbers of guests, amount of RAM needed, disk space, how to install it, how to peg guests to specific HW components, what are optimal configurations, .... are just a small sample of what we expect to see and need for final acceptance testing. We need this in order to test the product properly for our customer consumption and guidance. I am elevating the severity of this bug - during Alpha this may have been a "normal" problem, during beta - it is now a severe "ship" problem for our OS acceptance teams and for our customers. During RC cuts this is quickly becomming a "block" issue. Please send out the information ASAP. This event sent from IssueTracker by jkachuck issue 313758 This functionality is planned and on schedule. There is a partner documentation review scheduled for the 30th of July. RHEL engineering and documentation schedules do not often align due to technical and resource issues. Basically, we cannot document products until the product can be tested. Presently, the Virtualization Guide is in development and Quality Engineering. KVM will be 70% documented by the 30th of July for partner beta and fully documented for the documentation Release Candidate on the 14th of August.

Please make sure this is documented in the Virtualization Guide. Thanks!

We cannot complete testing prior to release without this being corrected ASAP.

Please point us correct documentation for SCSI emulation unsupport. Thanks!
