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:
Guest could be booted if we specify rhel7.1 new feature with -M RHEL7.0/RHEL6.x on rhel7.1 host. Consequences might have
1. From end user pov, boot successfully means we support it, however, we do not fully support new features under older machine type.
2. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1175099 and Bug 1172643 - migration/pci-bridge: 7.1rhev->7.0 fails
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.1.2-17.el7
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot guest with pci bridge or ovmf with -M rhel6.x on rhel7.1 host
2.
3.
Actual results:
Guest could be booted successfully but migration fail
Expected results:
Guest should not be booted if we specify the devices we do not plan to support with -M
Additional info:
PCI bridges were tech preview, so there's no problem in not supporting migration. AHCI will probably be the same when we start supporting Q35 fully.
For OVMF probably the bug should not be closed, but just deferred to 7.2. I'm reopening bug 1175099.
In any case, QE is already opening bug when they find new stuff not working on old machine types. Changing this to a tracker.
