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 Gleb Natapov 2012-03-20 08:52:41 UTC
Comment 5 Sibiao Luo 2012-03-30 03:09:54 UTC 
Hi all,

   I have tested it on qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.253.el6.x86_64 with the seabios-0.6.1.2-15.el6.x86_64, but the result of my test still hit this issue, the RTC wake up does not work for windows 7 guest. I have no idea about how to configure windows to wakeup with RTC, maybe miss some steps, please help to check my steps.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
host info:
# uname -r && rpm -q qemu-kvm
2.6.32-251.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.253.el6.x86_64
# rpm -qa | grep seabios
seabios-0.6.1.2-15.el6.x86_64
geust info:
guest_name: win7_sp1_64bit

Steps to Reproduce:
1.boot a windows guest.
2."start" -> "control-panel" -> "System and Security" -> "Administrative Tools" -> "Task Scheduler".
3.select "Create Task..." and create a task as following:
  in the "General" tab, fill in "Name" and "Description".
  in the "Triggers" tab, new a trigger, set one time and select "enabled".
  in the "conditions" tab check "Wake the computer to run this task". 
4.suspend guest to memeory.
5.wait for the guest resuming from S3.

Actual results:
after the step 5, the windows 7 guest can not resume from S3 as a response for RTC alarm.
Comment 6 Eduardo Habkost 2012-03-30 12:55:09 UTC

Comment 9 Sibiao Luo 2012-04-01 10:37:33 UTC

  in the "Action" tab, new a action with "Display a message"
  in the "Conditions" tab check "Wake the computer to run this task".
  in the "Triggers" tab, new a trigger, set one time and select "enabled". 
4.suspend guest to memeory.
5.wait for the guest resuming from S3.

Reproduced this issue with the environment and test results as following:
