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:
"Restore Saved Machine...(Restore a saved machine from a filesystem image)" button doesn't work
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:
100%

Expected results:

Additional info:
This feature was removed by commit:
commit 839ce682b1e9dc792dd4ebe9bb611f0af1109adc
Author: Cole Robinson <crobinso>
Date: Sat Apr 11 13:52:48 2015 -0400
Drop support for non-managed save/restore
All major drivers either support it, or don't support save at all,
so I think we can safely drop it. If people still need it they can
get by with virsh.
But that commit forget to remove also this menu option, so this feature doesn't work anymore and is replaced by "Shutdown -> Save" which is handled by managedsave feature provided by libvirt.
I can reproduce this bug with package:
virt-manager-1.3.2-1.el7.noarch
Steps are the same as description above.
Then try to verify with new build:
virt-manager-1.4.0-1.el7.noarch
Steps:
1. Launch virt-manager.
#virt-manager
2. Make sure there is a guest in saved status.
3. Click on one connection(QEMU/KVM) -->Edit --> Connection Details -->File, check if there is "Restore Saved Machine..." button.
4. Right click the restored machine, and click "Restore" button.
Results
After step3, the "Restore Saved Machine..." button does not appear.
After step4, the guest can be restored successfully.
According to the result above in the latest version of virt-manager, move this bug from ON_QA to VERIFIED.
