the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.
This is a dupe of bug 1448344, only with PCI instead of a CPU device.
Basically there are problems with state management of hotplug which mean that an early plugged device will mean the guest gets information duplicated between the "coldplug" and "hotplug" device discovery mechanisms, leading to this.
I'm actively working on this (amongst other hotplug problems) upstream, so we'll probably have to punt this to 7.5.
Description of problem: After Hotplug virtio-serial-pci and ports during early stage booting of guest port wasn't shown in guest Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-3.10.0-675.el7.ppc64le qemu-kvm-rhev-2.9.0-7.el7.ppc64le SLOF-20170303-4.git66d250e.el7.noarch How reproducible: 2/5 Steps to Reproduce: 1.prerequisite boot up a guest with a chardev eg,/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -name avocado-vt-vm1 -chardev socket,id=qmp_id_qmpmonitor1,path=/tmp/monitor-qmpmonitor1,server,nowait -mon chardev=qmp_id_qmpmonitor1,mode=control -sandbox on -machine pseries-rhel7.4.0 -nodefaults -vga std -chardev socket,id=serial_id_serial0,path=/tmp/ttt,server,nowait -device spapr-vty,reg=0x30000000,chardev=serial_id_serial0 -device nec-usb-xhci,id=usb1,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 -device usb-kbd,id=input0 -device usb-mouse,id=input1 -drive id=drive_image1,if=none,snapshot=off,aio=native,cache=none,format=qcow2,file=rhel74-ppc64-virtio-scsi.qcow2 -device virtio-blk-pci,id=image1,drive=drive_image1,bootindex=1,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 -device spapr-vlan,mac=9a:93:94:95:96:97,id=idpWdRJ9,netdev=idkTBKmY -netdev tap,id=idkTBKmY,vhost=on,script=/etc/qemu-ifup,downscript=/etc/qemu-down,id=hostnet1 -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=virtio_scsi_pci0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6 -device usb-tablet,id=usb-tablet1,bus=usb1.0,port=4 -vnc :1 -rtc base=utc,clock=host -boot order=cdn,once=d,menu=off,strict=off -enable-kvm -monitor stdio -monitor unix:/tmp/monitor3,server,nowait -qmp tcp:0:4444,server,nowait -m 8G,slots=32,maxmem=80G -numa node -chardev socket,id=channel1,path=/tmp/helloworld,server,nowait 2.During the early stage of booting (qemu) device_add virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,max_ports=16 (qemu) device_add virtserialport,chardev=channel1,name=com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm,bus=virtio-serial0.0,id=port0 Actual results: After login guest ls /dev/vp* to check the port,but it didn't exist.
