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 Don Dutile (Red Hat) 2011-08-31 03:17:20 UTC
Description of problem:
SME review of chapter 5 found these errors and/or needed corrections:

(1) Section 5.1
    (a) screenshot aftre step5
        i) probably want to change it to Virtualization Platform since
           additional/optional packages in Virtualization is just for debugging
          --> I need to do host install to see what's in the various packages,
              provide updated screenshots
(2) 5.2
    a) title error:
        change: "Installing the KVM hypervisor with yum"
            to: "Installing the virtualization packages with yum"
    b) error!
        change: "These packages provide the KVM kernel modules and 
                  the KVM hypervisor on the default Red Hat Enterprise 
                  Linux kernel."
            to: "These packages provide the user-level KVM emulator 
                 and disk image manage on the host Red Hat Enterprise 
                  Linux system."
    c) Can the 'Recommended virtualization packages" be
       installed by exec-ing: "yum groupinstall Virtualization"?
        Here's what's in the various group packages:
     i)    Group: Virtualization Client
     Description: Clients for installing and managing virtualization instances.
     Mandatory Packages:
       python-virtinst
       virt-manager
       virt-viewer
     Default Packages:
       virt-top
    ii)    Group: Virtualization Platform
     Description: Provides an interface for accessing and 
                  controlling virtualized guests and containers.
     Mandatory Packages:
       libvirt
       libvirt-client
   iii)    Group: Virtualization
     Description: Provides an environment for hosting virtualized guests.
     Mandatory Packages:
       qemu-kvm
   *NOTE*: qemu-img is in none of the group packages... must be installed as standalone package...
     --> so, leave yum install commands as shown in doc
