blocked on cockpit, we'll rebase on a new version when a fix will be available.

Comment 2 Sandro Bonazzola 2019-07-11 07:02:20 UTC
Re-targeting to 4.3.6 not being identified as blocker for 4.3.5.

Comment 3 Wei Wang 2019-07-16 05:30:39 UTC
Similar issue occurs when kdump with "Remote ovier SSH" in cockpit UI.

test with RHVH-4.3-20190711.1-RHVH-x86_64-dvd1.iso

Dependent bug #1709894 has been closed as not a bug.
Dependent bug #1724164 has been closed duplicate of above bug #1709894

Closing this as not a bug since "This is the expected behavior, one needs mount the nfs share if he needs to use nfs for kdump."

Comment 17 Sandro Bonazzola 2020-03-26 07:48:11 UTC
Nir, can you coordinate with cockpit team on getting this fixed?

Comment 18 Kairui Song 2020-05-28 05:36:19 UTC
Hi, in rhel-8.3 kexec-tools will support using unmounted dump target, so now it should be doable to just put a nfs entry in /etc/kdump.conf and kdump will work. This may help simplify the cockpit setup greatly.

Comment 19 Dave Young 2020-05-28 06:19:07 UTC
Specificity kexec-tools-2.0.20-20.el8, the bugzilla is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1814121

Comment 22 Sandro Bonazzola 2020-10-30 10:33:43 UTC
Moved to oVirt 4.4.4 since CentOS 8.3 won't be available at 4.4.3 GA time.

Comment 23 Wei Wang 2020-11-03 08:21:45 UTC
According to comment 22, QE will verify this bug when getting the 4.4.4 build.

Test with RHVH-4.4-20201029.0-RHVH-x86_64-dvd1.iso, the function is still failed. QE move it to "ASSIGNED"

Wei, can you follow up with Kairui Song <kasong> with some details see what is the problem?

I've contact with Kairui Song about this problem. I am waiting for his reply. I will update it later.

Hi Kairui,
Could you help to follow this? Thanks!

Comment 32 Wei Wang 2021-04-22 07:58:54 UTC
Test with RHVH-4.4-20210413.0-RHVH-x86_64-dvd1 (this build is based on RHEL8.4), the bug still can be reproduced.

Comment 33 Michal Skrivanek 2021-08-20 08:27:29 UTC
This bug/RFE is more than 2 years old and it didn't get enough attention so far, and is now flagged as pending close. 
Please review if it is still relevant and provide additional details/justification/patches if you believe it should get more attention for the next oVirt release.

Comment 35 Kairui Song 2021-08-25 07:20:17 UTC
Hi, I'm not sure where I can find the pkgs version used by RHVH, this bug should be fixed in kexec-tools-2.0.20-20, which should be included in RHEL8.4, if it is still failing, maybe it's a new issue, if there are more detail and system log available, that will be very helpful.

Comment 36 Wei Wang 2021-08-25 08:11:57 UTC
Test with the latest rhvh build RHVH-4.4-20210818.0-RHVH-x86_64-dvd1.iso

[root@test ~]# rpm -qa|grep kexec-tools
kexec-tools-2.0.20-46.el8_4.2.x86_64
[root@test ~]# imgbase w
You are on rhvh-4.4.8.1-0.20210817.0+1
[root@test ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.4

The bug is still exist.

Comment 43 Lev Veyde 2021-09-14 12:23:41 UTC
Opened a new BZ for cockpit: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2004041

Closing this bug, as it's not an oVirt/RHV issue, thus there is nothing we can do on our side, besides documenting the issue.

Why is this closed as not a bug? It is a real bug, the function cannot be used at all in RHVH cockpit.

Comment 45 Martin Pitt 2021-09-23 09:29:04 UTC
Re-closing as duplicate, which is hopefully less confusing. Wei Wang, this is tracked in bug 2004041

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 2004041 ***

It's a real bug, just not one of RHV-H/oVirt.

The source of the issue is in the cockpit, and it should be fixed there.

Thus after checking and debugging the issue, a new bug for cockpit was opened, and once that the issue is fixed there, it will become fixed in RHV-H/oVirt (and RHEL/CentOS) as well (once the build will include the fixed cockpit package(s) ).
