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.

Hi, Dima 

How to verify this bug ,Is runing HCK "Plug and Play job" enough ? 

BTW, We have MSFT Manual Errata about Plug and Play job hangs at "TestSurpriseRemove operation timed out" details referring to Bug 834230 ,Will your patch make QE no more hit this issue ?

Thanks,
Mike

Hello Mike,

Sorry for not answering before, I've missed your comment.

This is a theoretic case, I'm not sure it is possible to reproduce it artificially. In any case, please run "Plug and Play job" and verify there is no regression.

Also I'm pretty sure this is not the reason why we observe "TestSurpriseRemove operation timed out" in this test, so errata still needed.

Dmitry.

Hi all,
   I've tested Plug and Play job on win2k3-32/64 and winxp guest via build 64,it fortunately passed on winxp guest but still failed on win2k3-32/64 guest.So there is still a issue for this part and then the failure reason is  "TestSurpriseRemove operation timed out",it's same to the errata descriptions

Best regards,
Min
Comment 7 Min Deng 2013-06-18 03:29:03 UTC 
   In a word,we can use manual errata #1019 to filter the failure for win2k3-32/64 via build 64.
   FYI,
   Manual Errata #1019 - Job:Plug and Play job description:Plug and Play job hangs at "TestSurpriseRemove operation timed out".It is ever requested by Yan.
   Any issues please let me know.
Best regards
