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.

Paolo, we need to update the config in example 6.1 to be a RHEL 6 guest, to keep consistent with the RHEL 6 guide.

Can you please confirm -- is the new example (below) is correct?

Thank you.


Old example (RHEL5):

virt-install \
   --name=guest1-rhel5-64 \
   --file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/guest1-rhel5-64.dsk \
   --file-size=8 \
   --nonsparse --vnc \
   --vcpus=2 --ram=2048 \
   --location=http://example1.com/installation_tree/RHEL5.6-Server-x86_64/os \
   --network bridge=br0 \
   --os-type=linux \
   --os-variant=rhel5.4


* New example * (RHEL6):

virt-install \
   --name=guest1-rhel64-64 \
   --file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/guest1-rhel6-64.dsk \
   --file-size=8 \
   --nonsparse --vnc \
   --vcpus=2 --ram=2048 \
   --location=http://example1.com/installation_tree/RHEL6.4-Server-x86_64/os \
   --network bridge=br0 \
   --os-type=linux \
   --os-variant=rhel6.3

It is ok, but why is it needed?  RHEL5 guests can run very well on RHEL6.

Sorry, Paolo, I think I had misunderstood the earlier comments. Agreed, we should keep the doc as is, with the RHEL5 guest, for as you said, the current config works just fine.

Thanks for your help. Closing this bug as NOTABUG.
