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 YunmingYang 2020-12-17 10:35:20 UTC
Description of problem:
The VM memory is still 768 MB when creating a VM by "Import VM", using "Alpine Linux 3.8" for Operating system, and switch memory unit to "GB"(use default value of memory size, it should be 1)

Version-Release number of selected components (if applicable):
cockpit-machines-233.1-1.el8.noarch
cockpit-233.1-1.el8.x86_64
libvirt-dbus-1.3.0-2.module+el8.3.0+6423+e4cb6418.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1 Click button "Import VM"
2 Fill these fields as below
   Name: random string
   Installation Source: a path of the source disk(use cirros.qcow2 this time)
   Operating system: Alpine Linux 3.8
   Memory unit GB
3 Click "Import" button, then switch to the VM detail page

Actual results:
1 In step 2, after inputting "Operating system", the memory should be detected automatically, it should be 768 this time. Then the memory size should be 1 after switching memory unit to "GB"
2 After step 3, the memory on VM detail page is still 768 MB, not 1 GB

Expected results: 
1 After step 3, the memory on VM detail page should be 1 GB
