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.

Watchdog error
Description of problem:
[Machines] Edit watchdog failed for undefined vm with not proper error messages
Version-Release number of selected components (if applicable):
cockpit-machines-291-1.el9.noarch
cockpit-292-1.el9.x86_64
libvirt-dbus-1.4.1-5.el9.x86_64
libvirt-client-9.3.0-2.el9.x86_64
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Prepare a running vm , like cirros.
2. Undefine it:
# virsh undefine cirros
3. Click "add" of "Watchdog", Select "Pause", then click "Add" on the dialog
There is a new bug for this : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2213740
4. Close the dialog, you will find the "Pause" is added successfully.
Click edit again, select "Reset" this time, click "Save"
Actual results:
There will be 2 icons with error messages on the dialog:
1. Changes will take effect after shutting down the VM
2. Could not dynamically add watchdog
Adding a watchdog will require a reboot to take effect.
But no "Apply on next reboot" button for this.
Refer to screenshot.
Expected results:
Should be able to change watchdog at last, or at least provide proper error message and guide on this .
Additional info:
Verified with packages:
cockpit-machines-293-1.el9.noarch
cockpit-295-1.el9.x86_64
libvirt-dbus-1.4.1-5.el9.x86_64
libvirt-client-9.3.0-2.el9.x86_64
Steps:
1. Prepare a running vm , like cirros.
2. Undefine it:
# virsh undefine cirros
3. Click "add" of "Watchdog", Select "Pause", then click "Add" on the dialog
"Pause" added successfully
4. Click edit again
Save is disabled, and if move to it, there is a hint: "Cannot edit watchdog device on a transient VM"
Select "Reset" this time, save is still disabled.
So verified.
