Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
SME review of chapter 2 found these errors and/or needed correction:
(1) 2.1 What is Virtualization
Need some re-wording for consistency and introduction to terminology:
(a) "The hypervisor allows multiple operating systems to run ...."
introduce term 'guest':
"The hypervisor allows multiple operating systems called 'guests' to run ...."
NOTE: See section 4.1, sub-section titled: "KVM Guest VM Compatibility"
-- this is why 'guest' and 'VM' needs to be defined earlier...
(b) under 'Full Virtualization'
"This creates a new virtual machine in which ..."
need to introduce what a 'virtual machine' is, so recommend:
"This creates a new virtual system, called a 'virtual machine'
or 'VM' for short, in which guest operating systems ... "
(2) 2.3 V2V
(a) First sentence: "Virtualized to virtualized migration ..."
The term 'migration' here is different then how it is used previously.
In this case, 'migration' is changing the guest environment from one
virtualization technology to another virtualization technology,
i.e., xen-based virtualized guest to a kvm-based virtualized guest.
So, this one sentence is inadequate to introduce this topic.
In fact, it may be better to delete this sentence entirely,
and just have the sentence paragraph below it.
