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:
connect to a listening VNC client via a "reverse" connection, the client is specified by the display, but "info vnc" cann't get the vnc server status in the monitor.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# uname -r && rpm -q qemu-kvm
2.6.32-262.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.275.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.launch a listening vnc on host A by:
# vncviewer -listen 7000
2.launch qemu-kvm process and try to connect to the listening vnc on host B by:
...-vnc ${ip_of_host_A's}:7000,"reverse"
3.run "info vnc" in the monitor.
(qemu) info vnc

Actual results:
after the step 3, "info vnc" cann't get the vnc server status.

Expected results:
"info vnc" can get the vnc server status in the monitor.

Additional info:

corner case, not critical, deferring to rhel6.4

This is more like a missing feature than a bug. Also, HMP is not supported in RHEL, so the only reason to implement this as a RHEL feature would be a real need from one of our stack's components (vs. "this is nice to the end user").

I'd close this as WONTFIX, but I'll let Ademar decide.

PS: You're welcome to report this upstream.

Closing as wontfix. It will get to RHEL7 automatically if fixed upstream on time, but we won't focus on it for now.
