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 something to think about, some similar use cases could be:

1) There is no VM specified with the URI. This will also show the VM selection dialog and should we save the URI as specified by the command line or include the selected VM?

2) VM exists but is down, the selection dialog will also be shown, and if user selects different VM?

3) Username is specified in the URI, but user changes it in the dialog asking for the password, which should be saved?

Actual results:
None

Expected results:
None

Additional info:
None

RFE is moving to rhel 8, where it will be triaged and prioritized

Comment 4 Martin Tessun 2019-11-25 08:33:59 UTC
With the User VM Portal in RHV this should not happen at all. Also starting the Console from the Admin Portal in RHV does not show this issue.
Connecting directly to a RHV VM isn't supported.

As such closing this RFE.
