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 of problem:
Mini problems in virt-install help message
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-manager-1.4.3-3.el7.noarch
virt-install-1.4.3-3.el7.noarch
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Check description for virt-install help message.
1.1
--vcpus VCPUS Number of vcpus to configure for your guest. Ex:
--vcpus 5
--vcpus 5,maxcpus=10,cpuset=1-4,6,8
--vcpus sockets=2,cores=4,threads=2,
1.2 --sound [SOUND] Configure guest sound device emulation
Actual results:
1.1
wrong spelling maxcpus instead of 'maxvcpus' in example
There is a comma after threads=2
1.2
Has bracket([]) for SOUND
Expected results:
1. Update "maxcpus" to right one "maxvcpus" in virt-install help message
2. Remove comma(,) after threads=2
3. Remove bracket ([]) from SOUND
Additional info:
And same issue in virt-xml help message
# virt-xml --help |grep maxcpus
--vcpus 5,maxcpus=10,cpuset=1-4,6,8
Result:
wrong spelling maxcpus instead of 'maxvcpus' in example
I can reproduce this issue with package:
virt-manager-1.4.3-3.el7.noarch
virt-install-1.4.3-3.el7.noarch
Then try to verify this bug with new build:
virt-manager-1.5.0-3.el7.noarch
virt-install-1.5.0-3.el7.noarch
libvirt-4.5.0-12.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.12.0-26.el7.x86_64
libvirt-python-4.5.0-1.el7.x86_64
Steps:
1.Check descriptions of 'maxvcpu' and format of 'threads=2,'for virt-install help message.
1.1 #virt-isntall -h
--vcpus VCPUS Number of vcpus to configure for your guest. Ex:
--vcpus 5
--vcpus 5,maxvcpus=10,cpuset=1-4,6,8
--vcpus sockets=2,cores=4,threads=2
Result:'Maxvcpu' and comma(,) after threads=2 in virt-install help message is correct.
2.Check descriptions of 'maxvcpu' and format of 'threads=2,'for virt-xml help message.
2.1 #virt-xml --help
--vcpus VCPUS Number of vcpus to configure for your guest. Ex:
--vcpus 5
--vcpus 5,maxvcpus=10,cpuset=1-4,6,8
--vcpus sockets=2,cores=4,threads=2
Result:'Maxvcpu' and comma(,) after threads=2 in virt-xml help message is correct.
I move this bug from ON_QA to VERIFIED based on above testing.
