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 3 fwu 2015-05-27 08:09:13 UTC 
I can reproduce this bug with package:
virt-manager-1.1.0-12.el7.noarch
virt-install-1.1.0-12.el7.noarch

Steps are the same as description above.

Then try to verify with new build:
virt-manager-1.2.0-4.el7.noarch
virt-install-1.2.0-4.el7.noarch

Steps:
1.Check virt-xml manual,check EXAMPLES part,there is an example about --boot menu=on
EXAMPLES
……
       # Enable the boot device menu for domain 'example':

         # virt-xml example --edit --boot menu=on

2.Check all --boot options. Menu exists on --boot options.
# virt-xml --boot ?
--boot options:
  arch
  cdrom
  clearxml
  domain_type
  dtb
  emulator
  fd
  hd
  init
  initargs
  initrd
  kernel
  kernel_args
  loader
  loader_ro
  loader_type
  machine
  menu
  network
  nvram
  nvram_template
  os_type
  useserial

3.Check --boot menu option:
# virt-xml rhel6.7 --edit --boot menu=on
Domain 'rhel6.7' defined successfully.

Results:
Step 1, In virt-xml manual,the --boot option in EXAMPLE part is menu. 
It is consistent with the --boot options listed on Step 2.

According to the result above in the latest version of virt-manager, move this bug from ON_QA to VERIFIED.
