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 Xiaodai Wang 2016-08-31 06:00:31 UTC 
Description of problem:
virt-install doesn't be triggered as noautoconsole when --wait=0

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-manager-1.4.0-1.el7.noarch

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Check --wait option in man page of virt-install, "a value of 0 triggers the same results as noautoconsole".
       --wait WAIT
           Amount of time to wait (in minutes) for a VM to complete its install.  Without this option, virt-install will wait for the console to close (not necessarily indicating the
           guest has shutdown), or in the case of --noautoconsole, simply kick off the install and exit. Any negative value will make virt-install wait indefinitely, a value of 0
           triggers the same results as noautoconsole. If the time limit is exceeded, virt-install simply exits, leaving the virtual machine in its current state.

2. Run virt-install with --wait=0.
# virt-install --name test --memory 1024 --disk /var/lib/libvirt/images/test.img,size=3 -l http://download.eng.pek2.redhat.com/pub/rhel/rel-eng/RHEL-7.3-20160825.1/compose/Server/x86_64/os/ --wait=0

Actual results:
virt-install doesn't exit.

Expected results:
virt-install should be triggered same as noautoconsole when --wait=0.

    virt-install: fix --wait=0 to behave like --noautoconsole
Comment 4 zhoujunqin 2017-03-15 09:52:06 UTC 
I can reproduce this bug with package:
virt-manager-1.4.0-2.el7.noarch
virt-install-1.4.0-2.el7.noarch
virt-manager-common-1.4.0-2.el7.noarch

Then try to verify this bug with new build:
virt-manager-1.4.1-1.el7.noarch
virt-install-1.4.1-1.el7.noarch
virt-manager-common-1.4.1-1.el7.noarch
libvirt-3.1.0-2.el7.x86_64

Steps:
2. Run virt-install with --wait=0.
# virt-install --name test --memory 1024 --connect  qemu:///system --disk /var/lib/libvirt/images/test.img,size=3 --cdrom /root/Downloads/RHEL-6.8-20160414.0-Server-x86_64-dvd1.iso   --wait=0

Starting install...
Domain installation still in progress. You can reconnect to 
the console to complete the installation process.

3. Run virt-install with --noautoconsole

# virt-install --name test --memory 1024 --connect  qemu:///system --disk /var/lib/libvirt/images/test.img,size=3 --cdrom /root/Downloads/RHEL-6.8-20160414.0-Server-x86_64-dvd1.iso   --noautoconsole

Starting install...
Domain installation still in progress. You can reconnect to 
the console to complete the installation process.

Result:
1. --wait=0 behaves like --noautoconsole
2. After step2, use virt-viewer to connect to vm to finish installation successfully.

So move this bug from ON_QA to VERIFIED status.
