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 juzhang 2013-01-25 03:54:06 UTC 
Description of problem:
KVM QE compared the list of cmd line and devices difference between rhel6.4 and rhel7.0. Found some virtio scsi related device are added. From KVM QE POV,  Plese disable or remove virtio scsi related devices that qemu-kvm does not support.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Host Kernel
#uname -r
3.7.0-0.30.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm version
qemu-kvm-1.3.0-3.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.

3.
  
Actual results:
RHEL6.4
Virtio-scsi device
#/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -device ? 2>&1 | grep -i scsi
name "virtio-scsi-pci", bus PCI, alias "virtio-scsi"
name "scsi-disk", bus SCSI, desc "virtual SCSI disk or CD-ROM (legacy)"
name "scsi-block", bus SCSI, desc "SCSI block device passthrough"
name "scsi-cd", bus SCSI, desc "virtual SCSI CD-ROM"
name "scsi-hd", bus SCSI, desc "virtual SCSI disk"
name "scsi-generic", bus SCSI, desc "pass through generic scsi device (/dev/sg*)"

RHEL7.0
Virtio-scsi device(Added sc390 and am53c974, will support on rhel7.0?)
#/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -device ? 2>&1 | grep -i scsi
name "scsi-hd", bus SCSI, desc "virtual SCSI disk"
name "scsi-block", bus SCSI, desc "SCSI block device passthrough"
name "scsi-generic", bus SCSI, desc "pass through generic scsi device (/dev/sg*)"
name "scsi-disk", bus SCSI, desc "virtual SCSI disk or CD-ROM (legacy)"
name "scsi-cd", bus SCSI, desc "virtual SCSI CD-ROM"
name "dc390", bus PCI, desc "Tekram DC-390 SCSI adapter"
name "am53c974", bus PCI, desc "AMD Am53c974 PCscsi-PCI SCSI adapter"
name "virtio-scsi-pci", bus PCI

Expected results:
Disable or remove virtio scsi devices that qemu-kvm does not support

Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2013-01-29 08:32:24 UTC 
I don't think the summary of this bug can be right.  It
sounds like you want to disable virtio-scsi, but it seems
really you want to disable some emulated SCSI devices
(dc390 & am53c974).

Note that we absolutely need virtio-scsi in RHEL 7!

You are right. My intention is disable some emulated SCSI devices
(dc390 & am53c974) if qemu-kvm do not support on RHEL7. Thanks for pointing out.

Got it.
Comment 4 Miroslav Rezanina 2013-04-23 09:42:27 UTC 
Fixed in qemu-kvm-1.4.0-3.el7.x86_64.rpm
Comment 6 Markus Armbruster 2013-08-22 14:43:18 UTC 
We also want "virtio-scsi: Make type virtio-scsi-common abstract"[*] once its committed upstream.
