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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2017:1917 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE qemu-guest-agent bug fix update 2017-08-01 18:26:34 UTC

Description Miroslav Rezanina 2017-04-13 09:26:16 UTC 
Currently, qemu-ga is build for all RHEL 7 architectures. However, we do not support build of qemu-kvm for some of them. Disable build of qemu-ga for architectures without qemu-kvm(-rhev) build.

In addition, keep s390x build as we are going to  build qemu-kvm for this architecture.
Comment 2 Miroslav Rezanina 2017-05-16 13:17:27 UTC 
We change decision to disable build of qemu-ga on 32bit architectures as it still can be usable. To be able to continue in building it we need to fix dependencies and remove all unnecessary staff.
Comment 3 Miroslav Rezanina 2017-05-19 10:50:10 UTC 
Fix included in qemu-guest-agent-2.8.0-2.el7
Comment 5 FuXiangChun 2017-06-01 10:16:45 UTC 
According to comment0. My understanding is that qemu-ga doesn't support qemu-kvm but it supports qemu-kvm-rhev. So,QE tested 2 scenarios.
1.Install qemu-guest-agent-2.8.0-2.el7.x86_64.rpm & qemu-kvm-1.5.3-139.el7.x86_64. 

2.Install qemu-guest-agent-2.8.0-2.el7.x86_64.rpm & qemu-kvm-rhev-2.9.0-6.el7.x86_64.

Both scenarios work. If my understanding is wrong,please correct me. In addition, How should QE verify this bug?
Comment 6 Miroslav Rezanina 2017-06-01 10:21:04 UTC 
Hi, qemu-ga is not dependent on qemu-kvm/qemu-kvm-rhev as it is running inside the guest. We expect to work it in guest running on host with either qemu-kvm or qemu-kvm-rhev.

For testing, installing in guest and basic regression testing should be sufficient to confirm the fix is correct.

Thanks for your information.  

1.QE have tested a test run for qemu-ga.
https://polarion.engineering.redhat.com/polarion/#/project/RedHatEnterpriseLinux7/testrun?id=virtkvmqe-x86-virtagent-7-4

2.QE have confirmed qemu-ga is not dependent on qemu-kvm/qemu-kvm-rhev. and it works well inside guest.

So,set this bug as verified.
