Description Shengnan Wang 2012-12-04 09:43:55 UTC
Description of problem:
The Hypervkvpd was not in the install group checking with "yum grouplist". Both i386 and x86_64 RHEL6.4 guests on Hyper-V host failed to auto load the Hyper-V kvp daemon after installation. 

However, the hypervkvpd package (hypervkvpd-0-0.8.el6) was in the RHEL6.4 tree checking with the changlog-released.
changelog-released:
/mnt/redhat/released/RHEL-6/6.3
/mnt/redhat/devel/candidate-trees/RHEL6.4-20121126.0
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
..................
New package: hypervkvpd-0-0.8.el6
             HyperV key value pair (KVP) daemon
..................


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Host: Windows 2008 R2 Hyper-V (6.1.7600.16385)
Guest: Both i386 and x86_64 RHEL6.4 guest (2.6.32-343.el6)


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install the RHEL6.4 guest (kernel-2.6.32-343.el6) with the default setting or with all the virtualization setting. The attached files "x64_64_RHEL6U4-install-virtualization-setting.jpg" and "i386_RHEL6U4-install-virtualization-setting.jpg" were the virtualization setting of the RHEL6.4 x86_64 and i386 guest. And the files attached "i386_RHEL5U9-install-virtualization-setting.jpg" and "x86_64_RHEL5U9-install-virtualization-setting.jpg" were the virtualization setting of the RHEL5.9 i386 and x86_64 guest.
2.Reboot the guest.
3.Check the status of the hypervkvpd service.

Actual results:

At step3,hypervkvpd-0-0.8.el6 was not installed on the Hyper-V RHEL6 guest even if the install group 'virtualization' was checked.
The output is null when check the hypervkvpd via "# rpm -qa|grep hypervkvpd".



Expected results:

At step3, hypervkvpd-0-0.8.el6  was installed on the Hyper-V RHEL6 guest if the install group 'virtualization' was checked. Or there was a separated install group 'HyperV' to include this package as RHEL5 does.
# rpm -qa|grep hypervkvpd
hypervkvpd-0-0.8.el6.***

Hyper-V kvp daemon is a very important function for the Hyper-V RHEL guest. The service should be running after the Hyper-V guest booting. Our custom met the similar problem and file a bug with RHEL5.9 guest. Bug 869809 - Hyper V KVP Daemon does not auto load on RHEL 5.9

Comment 10 Dennis Gregorovic 2013-01-11 19:50:22 UTC
I've gone ahead and changed hypervkvpd from optional to default in the virtualization group.

<packagereq type='default'>hypervkvpd</packagereq> in @virtualization
