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 5 FuXiangChun 2014-05-08 15:02:04 UTC 
QE tested this bug with qemu-kvm-1.5.3-60.el7_0.2.x86_64 and 3.10.0-123.el7.x86_64

Tested two scenarios.

S1. For RHEL6.5 & win2012 & rhel7.0 guest
Boot guest with machine type rhel6.0.0 ~ rhel6.5.0 & pc on rhel7.0 host

result:
hotplug vcpu->works

S2. For RHEL6.5 & win2012 guest.
1.Boot guest with machine type rhel6.0.0 ~ rhel6.5.0 on rhel6.6 host.
2.migration from rhel6.6 -> rhel7.0 
3.hotplug vcpu on rhel7.0

result:
hotplug vcpu->works

so, Base on this testing result. This bug is fixed.


additional.
For rhel6.6 host.
# uname -r
2.6.32-459.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.425.el6.x86_64
Comment 6 FuXiangChun 2014-05-09 01:38:20 UTC 
Jan,
As far as QE know, we support vcpu hotplug from rhel6.3. Current, according to my testing result as comment5. vcpu can be hotpluged successfully with -M RHEL6.0~6.2 as well, It is expected?
Comment 7 juzhang 2014-05-09 01:40:18 UTC 
Seems we need to needinfo paolo.
Comment 8 Karen Noel 2014-05-09 11:32:22 UTC 
There are 3 components: host, machine type and guest OS

1. KVM supports vcpu inplug starting with RHEL 6.4 host. (6.3 was tech preview)

2. Any rhel6.y.0 machine type can be used. 

3. Any guest OS that supports CPU hotplug will work.

So, the RHEL7 behavior matches RHEL6. 

Thanks.
