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.

Fixed In Version: libvirt-3.9.0-14.el7_5.3
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.5, guests with SCSI passthrough enabled failed to boot because of changes in kernel CGroup detection. With this update, libvirt fetches dependencies and adds them to the device CGroup. As a result, and the affected guests now start as expected.

Hi Elad,
This bug was verified in pure libvirt env. Pls judge if you need to run some auto cases from rhev's perspective to cover some other risk area. thx
Comment 8 Elad 2018-04-17 14:05:51 UTC 
This will be tested once Bug 1568441 is ON_QA

> This will be tested once Bug 1568441 is ON_QA

Why not just take the fixed image and test it? Why should we add a dependency, if it may end up not working?
Comment 10 Elad 2018-04-18 09:06:04 UTC 
Tested tier1 direct LUN automation with the qemu-kvm-rhev build from [1].

Steps:
1. Create a VM with a direct LUN attached (tested with SCSI Pass-Through as enabled and as disabled)
2. Start the VM

Results: 
Start VM succeeded.

With SCSI passthough enabled:
