Please check if this is also reproducible with RHEL

> Please check if this is also reproducible with RHEL

Also encounter this issue with RHEL (RHEL-7.2-20151030.0-Server-x86_64-dvd1.iso)

Comment 7 Huijuan Zhao 2016-12-20 10:43:28 UTC
I tested 2 scenarios with latest RHEL7.3 and RHVH4.0.6, both work well.
1. No such issue in RHEL-7.3(RHEL-7.3-20161019.0-Server-x86_64-dvd1.iso).
2. No such issue in RHVH4.0.6(el7.3) (RHVH-4.0-20161214.0-RHVH-x86_64-dvd1.iso).

So this bug has been fixed in the latest RHEL/RHVH build, I will close this bug.
Thanks!
