Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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 Markus Armbruster 2013-09-26 12:58:05 UTC

Document URL: 
http://documentation-devel.engineering.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html-single/Virtualization_Administration_Guide/index.html

Section Number and Name: 
Chapter 19. qemu-kvm Whitelist

Describe the issue: 
In section 19.6. Device options, items scsi-cd, scsi-hd, scsi-block,
scsi-disk are all listed as "tech preview for 6.3".  Leaves me
wondering whether they're tech preview or supported in 6.4 and later.

Suggestions for improvement: 
Suggest to clarify to "tech preview in 6.3, supported since 6.4".

Bahavna, 
Can you please answer the question I asked in comment #2

Comment 7 Bhavna Sarathy 2013-11-07 14:28:09 UTC

USB 2.0 was fully supported in RHEL 6.3, and live migration capability for USB devices was added in RHEL 6.4.  If usb-redir refers to the latter, then it's 6.4.

Closing as this fix appears in the current released version of the Virtualization Administration Guide.
