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.

virt-manager CDROM

Description of problem:

While creating a new VM, if a CDROM or DVD is connected to the Host OS, the virt-manager does not allow the option "Use CDROM or DVD" to be selected by the user [option is grayed out].

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

virt-manager version 1.1.0
RHEL7.1 kernel: 3.10.0-224.el7

How reproducible:

Easily reproducible

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attach CDROM and DVD to the Host OS [RHEL 7.1 Snapshot 4]
2. Start virt-manager and click on create a new virtual machine.
3. Select 'Local install media' and press Forward.
4. Observe that the option "Use CDROM or DVD" is grayed out even though the OS DVD is detected.

Actual results:

"Use CDROM or DVD" option is grayed out and unusable for the user.

Expected results:

"Use CDROM or DVD" option should not be grayed out and available for the user.

Additional info:

See attached screenshot 'RH71_VMM_CDROM.png'

that is because CD/DVD host passthrough has been disabled in RHEL7. See #760885 for more details about it.
