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.
- the host-model code detects the host CPU as EPYC
- we translate it to Opteron_G5 because the running QEMU has no idea
what EPYC is
- when we're updating the CPU model according to what CPUID bits QEMU
enabled, we disable all the new features which QEMU did not know
about and thus it could not enable them (see commit 83e081b8ab3)
- we should just remove such features rather than disabling them since
QEMU will not enable them anywhere
This is a bug which happens only when upgrading a host from RHEL 7.3 or older
with running domains to a newer RHEL release. Fixing it in 7.8 does not make a
lot of sense since users would need to live upgrade from 7.3 to 7.8 with
domains running on the host to benefit from the fix. There's no issue if no
domain is running during the upgrade or when upgrading from a RHEL 7.4 or
newer.

virsh migrate --live vm1 qemu+ssh://target/system error: internal error: Unknown CPU feature sha-ni Actual results: Libvirt add sha-ni cpu feature in an old guest and this broke the migration Expected results: Can migrate guest back to 7.3 host Additional info: from bug 1521202 comment 7: We could possibly try to avoid adding CPU features which were not available in the old libvirt into the guest CPU definition when replacing host-model for a running domain. However, we need to do it in a very smart way to avoid breaking migration to new libvirt.
