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.

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2008-12-10 20:16:47 UTC 
'Upstream Acceptance: Not Started' is somewhat concerning. What kernel version are you targeting?
Comment 2 IBM Bug Proxy 2009-01-23 17:50:30 UTC 
The patch has been submitted to linux-scsi here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=123273106605076&w=2
Comment 3 John Feeney 2009-06-05 18:28:21 UTC 
Just an update, patch provided by comment #2 was found upstream with the commit of 5a9ef25b14d39b8413364df12cb8d9bb7a673a32 but is not found in Fedora 11 kernel.
Comment 4 Kevin W Monroe 2009-09-16 21:29:10 UTC 
This made it in to 2.6.30.
Comment 5 IBM Bug Proxy 2010-05-13 05:31:37 UTC 
------- Comment From wayneb.com 2010-05-13 01:23 EDT-------
Verification efforts with Snap 2 have turned up a problem in sysfs that is preventing the completion of the testing.  The problem is being investigated.
Comment 6 IBM Bug Proxy 2010-05-26 21:51:44 UTC 
------- Comment From wayneb.com 2010-05-26 17:44 EDT-------
This problem may be related to the fact that the RHEL 6 kernel is compiled with CONFIG_SCSI_SCAN_ASYNC enabled.   CONFIG_SCSI_SCAN_ASYNC is not enabled in the RHEL 5 releases.
We're looking at whether or not disabling that parameter will make a difference.
Comment 7 IBM Bug Proxy 2010-06-10 15:30:41 UTC 
------- Comment From klebers.ibm.com 2010-06-10 11:24 EDT-------
The bug which the verification of this feature depends on has been fixed but the patch hasn't been accepted and made available on a RHEL6 release yet. Tests with the patch have been completed successfully, however, we are going to wait for a release containing this fix to retest it before closing this feature bugzilla.
Comment 8 IBM Bug Proxy 2010-06-10 17:51:20 UTC 
------- Comment From klebers.ibm.com 2010-06-10 13:43 EDT-------
The blocking bug mentioned in the previous comment is: Bug 63801 - RIT957453- sysfs directories not being created for IPR devices.
Comment 9 IBM Bug Proxy 2010-07-20 19:01:21 UTC 
------- Comment From klebers.ibm.com 2010-07-20 14:50 EDT-------
Confirmed as working as expected on RHEL6 Snap7.

Thank you.
