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.

Comment 1 Jeff Cody 2013-12-17 19:02:07 UTC 
Patch is on the upstream list.
Comment 3 Miroslav Rezanina 2014-01-14 18:43:05 UTC 
Fix included in qemu-kvm-1.5.3-36.el7
Comment 5 Qian Guo 2014-01-21 08:28:14 UTC 
Reproduced this bug with qemu-kvm-1.5.3-19.el7.x86_64
Steps:
1. Check manpage of qemu-img
# man qemu-img
---
Other
           QEMU also supports various other image file formats for
           compatibility with older QEMU versions or other hypervisors,
           including VMDK, VDI, VHD (vpc), qcow1 and QED. For a full list of
           supported formats see "qemu-img --help".  For a more detailed
           description of these formats, see the QEMU Emulation User
           Documentation.
---

2. Check format under "drive"
# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -drive format=?
Supported formats: vvfat vpc vmdk vhdx vdi sheepdog sheepdog sheepdog raw host_cdrom host_floppy host_device file qed qcow2 qcow parallels nbd nbd nbd iscsi gluster gluster gluster gluster dmg cow cloop bochs blkverify blkdebug

From the manpage doc, no vhdx found, but under qemu-kvm cli, there're vhdx and vpc both.


So this bug is reproduced 

Verify this bug with qemu-kvm-1.5.3-38.el7.x86_64

Steps:
1.Check manpage docs of qemu-img
# man qemu-img 
...
Other
           QEMU also supports various other image file formats for
           compatibility with older QEMU versions or other hypervisors,
           including VMDK, VDI, VHD (vpc), VHDX, qcow1 and QED. For a full
           list of supported formats see "qemu-img --help".  For a more
           detailed description of these formats, see the QEMU Emulation User
           Documentation.

2.Check format under "drive"
# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -drive format=?
Supported formats: vvfat vpc vmdk vhdx vdi sheepdog sheepdog sheepdog raw host_cdrom host_floppy host_device file qed qcow2 qcow parallels nbd nbd nbd iscsi gluster gluster gluster gluster dmg cow cloop bochs blkverify blkdebug

Result: Both manpage docs and qemu-kvm cli  have  "vpc" and "vhdx".

So according to above, this bug is fixed by qemu-kvm-1.5.3-38.el7.x86_64
