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 Tomáš Golembiovský 2018-04-18 13:54:39 UTC 
In RHV 4.2 we rely on recent changes in QEMU-GA. To properly test and deliver the feature we need some of the features from 2.10. Would one of the following be possible?

1) perform rebase to 2.10 in RHEL 7.5; or

2) backport the necessary patches to 2.8. We need the following patches:

0a3d197a71 2017-04-04 | qga: Add 'guest-get-host-name' command
161a56a906 2017-04-19 | qga: Add 'guest-get-users' command
53c58e64d0 2017-04-19 | qga: Add `guest-get-timezone` command
e674605f98 2017-07-17 | qemu-ga: check if utmpx.h is available on the system
9848f79740 2017-07-14 | qemu-ga: add guest-get-osinfo command

optionaly also the following patches that fix the test-suite:

c28afa76c0 2017-07-14 | test-qga: pass environemnt to qemu-ga
339ca68bef 2017-07-14 | test-qga: add test for guest-get-osinfo

Comment 10 FuXiangChun 2018-07-26 05:20:25 UTC 
Tomáš,

You mentioned "qemu-ga: check if utmpx.h is available on the system" in comment0.
Could you tell me how to check if utmpx.h is available on the system? I only find this 2 files on system. And they aren't from qemu-guest-agent package. Thanks.

# find / -name utmpx*
/usr/include/bits/utmpx.h
/usr/include/utmpx.h
Comment 11 Tomáš Golembiovský 2018-07-26 07:29:22 UTC 
Hi, there is not much to verify there. The patch is there to make sure build does not fail. So if you already have an RPM then you can consider it as OK.
Comment 12 Tomáš Golembiovský 2018-07-26 07:35:17 UTC 
I suggest you remove the mention of utmpx.h from the doc_text.
Comment 13 FuXiangChun 2018-07-27 07:31:22 UTC 
Thanks Tomáš, Base on comment9 and comment11,  set this bug as verified.
