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 Yvugenfi@redhat.com 2013-04-10 11:27:48 UTC 
Description of problem:

Currently we have a mixed up build for our drivers. 
As Windows 8 DDK can work only through Visual Studio - we are building Windows 8 (Windows Server 2012) driver using new DDK. The older versions are build with Windows 7 DKK.

This BZ is a placeholder for the move to compile all the NDIS6.x drivers (Vista and up) using Visual Studio 2012 only.

Comment 4 Mike Cao 2013-04-18 06:22:04 UTC 
Seems md5 can not verify this issue for the older os (as the timestamp will change) .

Could you show us a way to verify it ?Acceptance Test for win2k3 ?
Comment 5 Yvugenfi@redhat.com 2013-04-18 07:52:53 UTC 
Sorry but this one will be quite a lot of work.
As we changed build system (build tools and packaging scripts) I think the following will be a good test case:


1. Test the driver packaging :

1.1. NetKVM driver should be packaged correctly for all the supported OSes: NetKVM.sys, NetKVM.inf and NetKVM.cat are present; for OSes Vista and up: readme.doc and netkvmco.dll present as well.

1.2. Test that the driver can be installed on every supported OS (maybe we should ask autotest group to do this test?).


2. Basic driver functionality

2.1. Installation - guest gets IP address.

2.2. Data transfer (receive\transmit).



Best regards,
Yan.
Comment 6 Yvugenfi@redhat.com 2013-04-18 08:22:43 UTC 
To all who are using test certificate (NetKVMTemporaryCert) - please reinstall it.

Best regards,
Yan.

According to comment #5, QE tested this issue on virtio-win-prewhql-0.1.64 and platform:win7-32/64,win2k8-32/64/R2,win8-32/64,win2012

Steps
1.Run 2 windows guests

2.Install NetKVM driver

3.check guest ip and transfer data(receive\transmit)

Actual Result
on virtio-win-prewhql-0.1.64 and every test platform, guest could get ip normally and transfer data(receive\transmit) successfully.
