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.

Created attachment 567544 [details]
unfriendly dialog

Description of problem:
  Now,we support viostor and vioscsi together.But while user pick up one to install,the two drivers are listed together from Device Manager.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virtio-win-prewhql-0.1-23
How reproducible:
Always,
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot up guest with the following CLI 
  /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -m 6G -smp 4 -cpu cpu64-rhel6,+x2apic,family=0xf -usb -device usb-tablet -drive file=win7-32-scsi.raw,format=raw,if=none,id=ide0,werror=stop,rerror=stop,cache=none -device ide-drive,drive=ide0,id=ide0-0-0,bootindex=1 -netdev tap,sndbuf=0,id=hostnet0,script=/etc/qemu-ifup,downscript=no -device e1000,netdev=hostnet0,mac=00:13:29:4c:37:a8 -uuid 5da59795-745b-4f9c-9b20-e0463d38eaaa -no-kvm-pit-reinjection -chardev socket,id=111a,path=/tmp/monitor-win2k8-blk-scsi,server,nowait -mon chardev=111a,mode=readline -vnc :1 -rtc base=localtime,clock=host,driftfix=slew -chardev socket,id=seabios_debug,path=/tmp/monitor-seabios,server,nowait -device isa-debugcon,iobase=0x402,chardev=seabios_debug -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi1 -drive file=disk1.raw,if=none,format=raw,cache=none,id=drive-virtio-data1,werror=stop,rerror=stop -device scsi-hd,bus=scsi1.0,id=virtio-data1,drive=drive-virtio-data1 -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi2 -drive file=disk2.raw,if=none,cache=none,format=raw,id=drive-virtio-data2,werror=stop,rerror=stop -device scsi-hd,bus=scsi2.0,id=virtio-data2,drive=drive-virtio-data2 -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi3 -drive file=disk3.raw,cache=none,if=none,format=raw,id=drive-virtio-data3,werror=stop,rerror=stop -device scsi-hd,bus=scsi3.0,id=virtio-data3,drive=drive-virtio-data3 -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi4 -drive file=disk4.raw,if=none,format=raw,cache=none,id=drive-virtio-data4,werror=stop,rerror=stop -device scsi-hd,bus=scsi4.0,id=virtio-data4,drive=drive-virtio-data4 -bios /root/bios.bin
 
2.install the vioscsi
  Open device manager -> select the needed device -> choose Update driver -> browser computer for driver software ->Let me pick up ...->Located to the driver folder and choose vioscsi 

  
Actual results:
1.while selecting vioscsi to install,the viostor driver also be listed in the table.As QE,I can distinguished them through the different version number.It is a bit difficult for customer because they have no any idea about these number.
  If possible,we had better list one.

2.During the driver's installation,there is an unfriendly dialog pop up.The issue can be reproduced on windows 2008 32/64 and windows 7 32/64 guest.Please see attachment.
3.The version number also be highlighted here.
  The vioscsi's version is 15.57.51.656 now.Could this be final version number?

Expected results:
1.we had better show one driver in case of confusing.
2.whether it is necessary for the dialog pop up or not --attachment
3.Maybe,the version should be changed to a correct one for rhel6.3 
 (Just suggestion)

 Any issues please let me know,welcome to correct me if any mistakes as well.
Thanks.

Hi Min,
please check if it looks better with the driver from build 29.

Comment 4 Min Deng 2012-06-20 07:05:39 UTC 
Hi Vadim,
   Re-tested the bug on windows 7 32/64 and windows 2008.One driver is listed in Device Manager if user want to install vioscsi driver now.User can finish install the driver without any errors.
  so the original issue should be fixed.By the way,now,the driver name is changed to "redhat virtio scsi pass-through controller".
  Thanks for your work.

Best Regards,
Min
