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 2021-01-13 12:06:33 UTC 
Description of problem:
If adding a disk for a running VM, there will be an icon shown beside boot order. Though there will be a new option which is the newly created disk, no change for the boot option.So there should not be an icon beside boot order and the newly created disk should appear in the boot order list right away.

Version-Release number of selected components (if applicable):
cockpit-234-1.el8.x86_64
cockpit-machines-235-1.el8.noarch
libvirt-dbus-1.3.0-2.module+el8.3.0+6423+e4cb6418.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1 Create a running VM
2 Add a disk without checking "Always attach"
3 Open the boot order list

Actual results:
1 After step 2, there will be an icon beside boot order
2 After step 3, the newly created disk don't appear in the boot order list

Expected results: 
1 After step 2, there will not be an icon beside boot order
2 After step 3, the newly created disk appear in the boot order list

Additional info:
Comment 1 Katerina Koukiou 2021-01-19 17:16:18 UTC 
In the Boot order dialog we show only devices that are part of the inactive XML configuration.

Your disk is transient, which means that it's not a part of the inactive XML configuration and therefore you don't see in the dialog.

The reason that the warning icon appears is because there was an inconsistency between the inactive and active XML available devices for booting, after you add the transient disk to the domain. 

The previous reasoning is obviously not self explanatory, therefore I decided to disable editing boot order for running VMs.

Comment 4 YunmingYang 2021-02-07 05:34:01 UTC 
Test Versions:
cockpit-machines-237-1.el8.noarch
cockpit-236-1.el8.x86_64
libvirt-dbus-1.3.0-2.module+el8.3.0+6423+e4cb6418.x86_64


Test Steps:
1. Create a running VM
2. Shut off the VM, change the boot order to "network, disk", then restart the VM

Test Results:
1. After step 1, edit button of boot order will be disabled, and there will be an notification when mouse move over it. It is "Only editable when the guest is shut off"
2. After step 2, the boot order setting take effect.

According to the results, move the status to VERIFIED.
