Description Dayle Parker 2012-04-30 04:22:58 UTC
Description of problem:

Documentation is needed for configuring/disabling dnsmasq for RHEL 6 - there are no details on this task for the current RHEL guides. Occasionally the user may need to disable dnsmasq in order to run libvirt.

Dnsmasq was documented in RHEL 5 documentation:

http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Virtualization/sect-Virtualization-Pre_Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_5.4_Xen_networking-Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_5.0_laptop_network_configuration.html

Once documented, also include these instructions/cross-reference in the Virtualization Host Installation and Guest Configuration Guide, in the libvirt troubleshooting appendix.

Comment 2 Dayle Parker 2012-08-27 05:20:50 UTC
We have sufficient info on configuring dnsmasq in: 

https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Virtualization_Host_Configuration_and_Guest_Installation_Guide/App_Virt_Net_Not_Starting.html

This issue does not need further documentation.
