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 of problem:
Virsh man page has the following issues:
1. virsh connect command lists XEN as the default setting.
as far as I know XEN is not supported in RHEL 7. Please indicate what the default setting is, and remove XEN from the MAN page.
2. the nodecpumap command displays the number of cpus correctly. I am not sure what the intended format for the display is supposed to be but I got this:
CPUs present: 1
CPUs online: 1
CPU map: y
According to the MAN page it is supposed to give me a list of the online CPUs. I would assume it would tell me its id number or name. In this case, all I got was a number of online CPUs, not a list. If this is intentional, please change the language of the MAN page. If not, then this is a bug that needs to be fixed elsewhere.
I am sure there will be more issues - but I will open other BZs..

tools: Fix virsh connect man page
The URI parameter is optional and xen:/// is not the default connection
URI.

2. "CPU map: y" is the list (or rather map). It prints "y" for each CPU that is online and "-" offline CPUs. Four online CPUs out of 4 would be shown as "yyyy". If the third CPU (ID 2) is offline, "yy-y" would be reported.
1. This doc fix can be verified:
# man virsh
...
connect [URI] [--readonly]
...
xen:///
this is used to connect to the local Xen hypervisor
...
Some typo was fixed, so I change the status to VERIFIED.
2. for nodecpumap
check cpus
# virsh nodecpumap
CPUs present: 8
CPUs online: 8
CPU map: yyyyyyyy
shutdown cpu-1
# echo 0 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
recheck cpus
# virsh nodecpumap
CPUs present: 8
CPUs online: 7
CPU map: y-yyyyyy
nodecpumap works.
So I change the status to VERIFIED.
