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.

Hi Peter,

There are some known hotplug issues on kernel-rt. For an example, see BZ1267425.

On this BZ I was able to identify the root cause by inspecting a
vmcore, and on these cases, the vmcore is the best tool to understand
why the system hanged.

Can you please capture a vmcore of the VM after it hangs on hotplug
operations?

Here is a document from support explaining how to capture a vmcore of a VM:

https://access.redhat.com/solutions/39604

We will also need the debuginfo packages of the kernel that was running
on the VM.

Peter, this issue has gone with rhel7.5. 


After online/offline 100 times using script in Description, both host and guest work well, not any error.

Thanks Pei!  Then I'm closing the bug.
