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.

Adding Marain here who is responsible for QXL testing.

bcao--->Marain
I am not sure the words "The QXL driver is required to use SPICE" Does RHEVM support -vnc :0 -vga qxl ?

Thanks,
Mike

The para-virtualized controller device (virtio-scsi)
    The para-virtualized SCSI controller device provides a more flexible and scalable alternative to virtio-blk. A virtio-scsi guest is capable of inheriting the feature set of the target device, and can handle hundreds of devices compared to virtio-blk, which can only handle 28 devices.
    virtio-scsi is fully supported for the following guest operating systems:

        Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
        Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4 and above
        Windows Server 2008
        Windows 7
        Windows Server 2012
        Windows 8 (32/64 bit)

What do you mean? RHEVM does not support VNC and SPICE at the same time for a single VM but this is work under progress and will be supported. QXL driver is not really required for SPICE but without it It does not make much sense, so for the simplicity It can be said "required".
