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.

    Hello,

Could you provide me please exact wording for the RHEL 7.4 Release Notes description of the USBGuard on IBM systems? (Known Issue/Technology Preview, which systems are fully/partially supported and so on). Thank you.

I believe we should declare Tech Preview for USB Guard on IBM Power systems. For system 390, we should make an explicit note that those platforms do not support a USB sub-system.

I'm going to suggest the following wording that should appear in the Technology Preview section of the RHEL 7.4 Release Notes:

USBGuard Technology Preview for IBM Power Platforms

USBGuard packages are provided as a Technology Preview for IBM Power LE and BE systems in this release. Full support is targeted for a later release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

NOTE : IBM s390x systems do not support a USB subsystem and as such, the USBGuard feature is not supported, nor provided, for those systems.
