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 Arik 2021-05-05 17:23:43 UTC 
With virtio-win 1.9.16 we see in agents.json:

{
  "arch": "x86",
  "agent_version": "102.0.0-2",
  "name": "Red Hat QEMU guest agent"
},
{
  "arch": "amd64",
  "agent_version": "102.0.0-2",
  "name": "Red Hat QEMU guest agent"
},

while qemu-ga itself now reports version 5.2.0 (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1936298#c34).

This makes RHV showing the user that there is an update to qemu-ga although the user uses the latest version.

virtio-win 1.9.16virtio-win 1.9.16 still hit this issue. and the issue was considered a normal change at first, so this problem was not pointed out.
Comment 3 ali.khalidy 2021-06-02 21:28:48 UTC 
Hello,

can we get an eta for this? We have this exact same issue as well.
Comment 12 Yvugenfi@redhat.com 2021-06-17 11:20:05 UTC 
The fix in mingw-qemu-ga-win-102.4.0-0.el8
Comment 13 dehanmeng 2021-06-18 01:11:09 UTC 
Tried to verify this issue on win2016-64 guest with the fixed build mingw-qemu-ga-win-102.2.0-2.el8, but the issue seems still be there. the version of build still is '5.2'

Actual result.
[root@dell-per440-01 whql_autotest]# nc -U /tmp/avocado_3ysnlr_l/serial-org.qemu.guest_agent.0-20210607-121055-kSowKNHY
{"execute":"guest-info"}
{"return": {"version": "5.2.0", "supported_commands": [{"enabled": true, "name": "guest-get-devices", "success-response": true},...........}
Comment 14 dehanmeng 2021-06-18 01:45:39 UTC 
Sorry about the last comment, I reuse the latest version of qemu-ga build. and try to verify it again. now the result is correct.

Verify steps as comment.

Actual result:
[root@dell-per440-01 Verify_bug]# nc -U /tmp/avocado_3ysnlr_l/serial-org.qemu.guest_agent.0-20210607-121055-kSowKNHY
{"execute":"guest-info"}
{"return": {"version": "102.4.0", "supported_commands"........} 
Expected result:
{"return": {"version": "102.4.0", "supported_commands"........}
