1309580 – OS name of win8.1 x64 guest shows incorrect in rhevm3.6 general info

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:
OS name of win8.1 x64 guest shows incorrect in rhevm3.6 general info

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-v2v-1.32.2-3.el7.x86_64
libguestfs-1.32.2-3.el7.x86_64
rhevm3.6:3.6.2.6-0.1.el6

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Convert win8.1 x64 guest from local to RHEV, conversion log pls refer to attachment

[   0.0] Creating an overlay to protect the source from being modified
[   0.4] Initializing the target -o rhev -os 10.73.69.63:/home/nfs_export
[   0.6] Opening the overlay
[   5.1] Inspecting the overlay
[   6.6] Checking for sufficient free disk space in the guest

[   6.6] Converting Windows 8.1 Enterprise to run on KVM
virt-v2v: warning: there is no QXL driver for this version of Windows (6.3 
x86_64).  virt-v2v looks for this driver in /usr/share/virtio-win

The guest will be configured to use standard VGA.

    (100.00/100%)
[ 221.5] Creating output metadata
[ 221.6] Finishing off

2.After conversion,import guest from export domain to data domain(need to change the guest name due to bug1308778)

3.Check OS name of win8.1x64  guest in general info, it shows "Windows 2012R2 x64", please refer to screenshot1

4.Check OS name in guest system, it shows win8.1 x64

Actual results:
As above description

Expected results:
OS name of win8.1 x64 guest shows correct in rhevm3.6 general info

Comment 3 Richard W.M. Jones 2016-02-18 09:57:54 UTC

In the OVF we add:

    <Section ovf:id='ad5535f7-31c4-4c8d-a677-947af21c90d7' ovf:required='false' xsi:type='ovf:OperatingSystemSection_Type'>
      <Info>Windows 8.1 Enterprise</Info>
      <Description>windows_2012R2x64</Description>
    </Section>

What we're doing is finding the nearest approximation
to Windows 8.1 in the values that oVirt supports, see:

https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine/blob/master/packaging/conf/osinfo-defaults.properties

There is no "Windows 8.1" in oVirt, so we choose the closest
which is Windows 2012R2.

(Adding Shahar to CC for additional comments, but I think this
is NOTABUG).

Comment 4 Shahar Havivi 2016-02-18 11:35:10 UTC

oVirt use all Windows 8.x the same - I think its better that v2v will map Windows 8.1 to Windows 8 instead of 2012.
However if you think that 8.1 needs a version of its own you can open a bug on oVirt.

    (100.00/100%)
[ 189.5] Creating output metadata
[ 189.7] Finishing off

2.After conversion,import guest from export domain to data domain

3.Check OS name of win8.1x64 guest in general info, it shows "Windows 8 x64", please refer to screenshot2

Additional info:
1.Convert win8.1 x86 guest to RHEV and check OS name of win8.1x64 guest in general info, it shows "Windows 8"


Result now:
virt-v2v map Windows 8.1 to Windows 8

Comment 8 mxie@redhat.com 2016-07-07 11:47:40 UTC

Verify the bug with builds:
virt-v2v-1.32.5-10.el7.x86_64
libguestfs-1.32.5-10.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-1.5.3-116.el7.x86_64

virtio-win-1.8.0-5.el7.noarch
libguestfs-winsupport-7.2-1.el7.x86_64

Result now:
Convert win8.1 and win8 guest to RHEV and both their Operating System shows "Windows 8 " , according to comment 4, the bug has been fixed

So move the bug from ON_QA to VERIFIED
