QA: Please provide technical review of https://gitlab.cee.redhat.com/rhci-documentation/docs-Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/-/merge_requests/1940 Arik,
Eli Marcus raised a good point:
Should we change "cluster version" to "compatibility version" in the last line of the following?
In {virt-product-fullname} 4.4.5, you must do the following to enable this feature:
. Run the following command:
+
----
engine-config --set EnableBochsDisplay=true --cver=<version>
----
where `<version>` is the cluster version.
Yes, that would be more accurate since the compatibility version doesn't have to be that of the cluster. Specifically this would happen in the following case: the VM resides in a 4.4 (or 4.2 or 4.3) cluster and set with custom compatibility version 4.5 - so it's compatibility version is 4.5 |
