Min, Is this a regression? Thanks.
Hi Ronen, QE can reproduce the issue with virtio-win-prewhql-01-23 and virtio-win-prewhql-01-16. The scenario is from my random testing.Thanks. Thanks Min
Hi Min, Port removal is not officially supported. Moving to 6.4. Still it might work in build 25. Please check.
Reproduce this bug on virtio-win-prewhql-25 Guest win7-64 bit How reproducible: 40% steps: 1.Start guest w/ virtio-serial-port 2.install rhev-agent in the guest and start service 3.on the host ,open the listening port 4.hotunplug the virtio-serial-port which used by rhev-agent service 5.hotplug the virtio-serial-port which unpluged in step4 Actual Results： Guest hang
In work, need to re-test in 2-3 weeks.
QE, Please try again with the build 40. There were several related changes in the serial driver. Thanks, Ronen.
dengmin ,pls verify this bug with virtio-win-prewhql-build-40 Thanks, Mike
Verified the bug via virtio-win-prewhql-0.1-41 Please refer to the steps of comment 0 Actual results, 1.error message in monitor is gone after deleting port during transferring data between host and guest 2.The guest doesn't hang and work correctly. So the bug should be fixed,thanks.
Based on comment #14 ,move status to VERIFIED.
