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:

1. For 3.2. Supported CPU Models, the supported cpu models should be:
Opteron_G4  AMD Opteron 62xx class CPU                      
Opteron_G3  AMD Opteron 23xx (Gen 3 Class Opteron)          
Opteron_G2  AMD Opteron 22xx (Gen 2 Class Opteron)          
Opteron_G1  AMD Opteron 240 (Gen 1 Class Opteron)           
SandyBridge  Intel Xeon E312xx (Sandy Bridge)                
Westmere  Westmere E56xx/L56xx/X56xx (Nehalem-C)          
Nehalem  Intel Core i7 9xx (Nehalem Class Core i7)       
Penryn  Intel Core 2 Duo P9xxx (Penryn Class Core 2)    
Conroe  Intel Celeron_4x0 (Conroe/Merom Class Core 2)   
cpu64-rhel5  QEMU Virtual CPU version (cpu64-rhel5)          
cpu64-rhel6  QEMU Virtual CPU version (cpu64-rhel6)

2. For 4.1. KVM restrictions

Maximum vCPUs per guest
Virtualized guests support up to a maximum of 160 virtualized CPUs in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Para-virtuallized devices
can support 232 pci device with multifunction=on.


3.For 5.1. Configuring a Virtualization Host installation

Figure 5.3 the latest qemu-kvm version is 0.12.1.2-2.295

4. For 5.2. Installing virtualization packages on an existing Red Hat Enterprise Linux system

"yum groupinstall Virtualization" can install qemu-img. So, the Note should be modified or removed.

e.g 
Note that the qemu-img package is not distributed in any of the following groups.
 
5. For 12. PCI device assignment

It should be:
Out of the 32 PCI devices for a guest, 3 are always defined for a KVM guest, and are not removable. This means there are up to 29 PCI slots available for additional devices per guest.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Added as a blocker.

Ronen or Ademar, can you help with verifying these numbers?
Many thanks,
Dayle
Comment 3 Ronen Hod 2012-09-19 06:14:33 UTC 
Michael,

Is it that 3 or 4 PCI devices that are taken?
