Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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 Germano Veit Michel 2023-08-14 01:10:55 UTC
Document URL: 
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/html/configuring_and_managing_virtualization/assembly_feature-support-and-limitations-in-rhel-9-virtualization_configuring-and-managing-virtualization#recommended-features-in-rhel-9-virtualization_feature-support-and-limitations-in-rhel-9-virtualization

Section Number and Name: 
22.2. Recommended features in RHEL 9 virtualization

Describe the issue: 
In BZ2225347 we added text stating that both Passthrough devices and CPU Model *must* be supported by the Guest OS.

We want to relax the CPU side of this, and just recommend that the CPU Model is certified for the Guest OS. 

The justification is that in theory it should work regardless, we just don't cover testing for CPU models not officially supported by the Guest os.

So perhaps change the "must" to some sort of "recommend/suggest", but only for CPU.

NOTE: please also replicate this to RHEL8 once done.
