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 of problem:
Just reading the Virtualization Getting Started guide here:
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6-Beta/html/Virtualiz
ation_Getting_Started_Guide/ch04s03.html
Would it be a good idea to add the emulated watchdog devices here?
Since RHEL 6.2, both i6300esb and ib700 should both be supported
(and more importantly, working :-)
Here is some representative text:
=== Emulated watchdog devices ===
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 and above provide two emulated
watchdog devices. A watchdog can be used to automatically
reboot a guest when it becomes overloaded or unresponsive.
The watchdog devices are supported by the following guest
operating system:
* Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 and above,
for i386 and x86_64 architectures.
You will need to install the 'watchdog' package in the guest.
The two devices are:
* i6300esb, an emulated Intel(TM) 6300 ESB PCI watchdog device.
This is the recommended device to use.
* ib700, an emulated iBase 700 ISA watchdog device.
