Bug 869296

2. Who is the customer behind the request?
Account name: Red Hat IT
Customer segment: 1
TAM/SRM customer: yes/no
Strategic Customer: yes


3. What is the nature and description of the request?

If we create a VM and specify some OS (i.e. RHEL 6 x86_64) for it (this influences settings of libvirt, qemu-kvm, etc.), then install a completely different OS such as Windows 7 64-bit, RHEV-M should correct its entry for what's being reported back from the guest agent.

We already have info from the agent so we should go ahead and use it. The guest OS could be changed whenever VM is in down status.


4. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)

Settings in RHEV-M influences which parameters and settings of VM libvirt passes to KVM, i.e. it's default virtual graphic adapter,
some Vmemory and VCPU tweaks, etc. So this actually influences performance of the guest itself.


5. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional
requirements here)

Have the guest agent's data be used to modify the entry within RHEV-M if the OS level and Arch type is different that what's initially set.


6. For each functional requirement listed in question 5, specify how Red Hat
and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully
implemented.
Set the OS to RHEL 6 x86_64 in RHEV-M and install Windows 7 64-bit. Install the guest agent on the Windows box. Either the RHEV-M should be updated then, or when the VM is in a down status.

7. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat bugzilla?
no

8. Does the customer have any specific timeline dependencies?
no

9. Is the sales team involved in this request and do they have any additional input?
no

10. List any affected packages or components.
rhevm

11. Would the customer be able to assist in testing this functionality if
implemented?
yes
