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 Qunfang Zhang 2012-12-19 10:03:17 UTC
Description of problem:
As subject, disabled S4 inside guest with "#powercfg -h off" and then send {"execute": "guest-suspend-disk"} command to guest agent, meet some problems:
(1) For win7-32, guest gets black screen and does not return back after long time (I wait 10 mins).
(2) For win2012-64, qemu-ga service will be stop.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Host:
kernel-2.6.32-348.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.346.el6.x86_64

Guest:
Win7-32 and win2012, installed the executable from qemu-guest-agent-win32-0.12.1.2-2.346.el6.x86_64


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot a guest:
 /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M rhel6.4.0 -enable-kvm -m 2048 -smp 2,sockets=2,cores=1,threads=1 -enable-kvm -name t2-rhel6.4-32 -uuid 61b6c504-5a8b-4fe1-8347-6c929b750dde -k en-us -rtc base=localtime,clock=host,driftfix=slew -no-kvm-pit-reinjection -device piix3-usb-uhci,id=usb,bus=pci.0,addr=0x1.0x2 -device usb-tablet,id=input0 -drive file=/home/win7-32.qcow2,if=none,id=disk0,format=qcow2,werror=stop,rerror=stop,aio=native -device ide-drive,bus=ide.0,unit=1,drive=disk0,id=disk0  -drive file=/home/en_windows_7_ultimate_with_sp1_x86_dvd_619077.iso,if=none,media=cdrom,id=drive-ide0-1-0,readonly=on,format=raw -device ide-drive,drive=drive-ide0-1-0,bus=ide.1,unit=0,id=cdrom -netdev tap,id=hostnet0 -device rtl8139,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=44:37:E6:5E:91:85,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 -monitor stdio -qmp tcp:0:6666,server,nowait -chardev socket,path=/tmp/isa-serial,server,nowait,id=isa1 -device isa-serial,chardev=isa1,id=isa-serial1 -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x8 -chardev socket,id=charchannel0,path=/tmp/serial-socket,server,nowait -device virtserialport,bus=virtio-serial0.0,nr=1,chardev=charchannel0,id=channel0,name=com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm -chardev socket,path=/tmp/foo,server,nowait,id=foo -device virtconsole,chardev=foo,id=console0 -chardev spicevmc,id=charchannel1,name=vdagent -device virtserialport,bus=virtio-serial0.0,nr=2,chardev=charchannel1,id=channel1,name=com.redhat.spice.0 -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x9 -spice port=5930,disable-ticketing -vga qxl -global qxl-vga.vram_size=67108864 -k en-us -boot c -chardev socket,path=/tmp/qga.sock,server,nowait,id=qga0 -device virtserialport,bus=virtio-serial0.0,chardev=qga0,name=org.qemu.guest_agent.0  -global  PIIX4_PM.disable_s3=0 -global PIIX4_PM.disable_s4=0

2. Install the qemu-guest-agent-win32-0.12.1.2-2.346.el6.x86_64 on a rhel host and get the executable.

3. Install the qemu-ga.exe inside windows guest.
#c:\qemu-ga>qemu-ga.exe --service install

4. In guest:
In guest, open "services.msc" and check if qemu-ga service is started. If not, start the qemu-ga service.

5. Send some commands to guest agent to make sure it works:
# nc -U /tmp/qga.sock 
{ "execute": "guest-ping"}
{"return": {}}
{ "execute": "guest-sync-delimited", "arguments": { "id": 123456 } }
�{"return": 123456}

6. Turn off 'Hibernate' inside guest.
#powercfg -h off

7. Inside guest, check if S4 is really disabled.
#powercfg -a

8. Send {"execute": "guest-suspend-disk"} command to guest agent.

  
Actual results:
(1) For win7-32, guest gets black screen and does not return back after long time (I wait 10 mins).
(2) For win2012-64, qemu-ga service will be stop.

Expected results:
Should give some friendly prompt like doing S3 when S3 is disabled. The following prompt is acceptable.

{ "execute": "guest-suspend-ram"}
{"error": {"class": "QgaCommandFailed", "desc": "Guest agent command failed, error was 'suspend-to-ram not supported by OS'", "data": {"message": "suspend-to-ram not supported by OS"}}}

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2012-12-24 06:47:48 UTC
This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 6 Ademar Reis 2014-06-05 22:16:49 UTC
S3/S4 support is tech-preview in RHEL6 and it'll be promoted to fully supported
at some point, but only in RHEL7.

Therefore we're closing all S3/S4 related bugs in RHEL6. New bugs will be
considered only if they're regressions or break some important use-case or
certification.

RHEL7 is being more extensively tested and effort from QE is underway in
certifying that this particular bug is not present there.

Please reopen with a justification if you believe this bug should not be
closed. We'll consider them on a case-by-case basis following a best effort
approach.


Thank you.
