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 guo jiang 2013-05-07 09:45:16 UTC 
Description of problem:

The status of Red Hat VirtIO Ethernet Adapter is always "Identifying..." and we can't ping between guest and external host any more, after S4(Hibernate).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virtio-win-prewhql-0.1-59

How reproducible:
3 times

Steps to Reproduce:
1.start guest win2k8-R2/virtio-net-pci
   /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M rhel6.4.0 -m 4G -smp 4 -cpu cpu64-rhel6,+x2apic,+sep,family=0xf -usb -device usb-tablet -drive file=win2k8-R2.qcow2,format=qcow2,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-0,werror=stop,rerror=stop,cache=none -device ide-drive,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-0-0,id=ide0-0-0 -netdev tap,sndbuf=0,id=hostnet0,vhost=on,script=/etc/qemu-ifup-private,downscript=no -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,mac=00:21:21:24:34:10,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4,id=virtio-net-pci0 -uuid e9b5ca3a-1419-4514-bb76-8fe8250884e1 -rtc-td-hack -no-kvm-pit-reinjection -rtc base=localtime,clock=host,driftfix=slew -chardev socket,id=111a,path=/tmp/monitor-win2k8-R2-network,server,nowait -mon chardev=111a,mode=readline -name win2k8-R2-network -spice port=5931,disable-ticketing -vga qxl -global PIIX4_PM.disable_s3=0 -global PIIX4_PM.disable_s4=0 -monitor stdio

2.Ping between guest and external host 
  from external host to guest: ping -c 10 $guest_ip
  from guest to external host: ping -n 10 $external-host_ip

3.Hibernate (S4) 
  "ctrl+alt+del"--"Hibernate"

4.After qemu quit, reboot guest with the step1's script again.

5.After wake from S4,login to guest

6.Check netkvm driver by opening "Device Manager" and clicking "Network adapters"--->right-clicking "Properties" of "Red Hat VirtIO Ethernet Adapter"

7.Check the network connection status of "Red Hat VirtIO Ethernet Adapter" by opening "Control Panel" and clicking "View network status and tasks"--->clicking "Change adapter settings"

8.Repeat the step 2.
   
Actual results:
 
  After S4(Hibernate), the network connection status of "Red Hat VirtIO Ethernet Adapter" is always holding "identifying..." and we can't ping between guest and external host any more.

Expected results:
   After S4(Hibernate), the network connection status of "Red Hat VirtIO Ethernet Adapter" should be "enable" and ping between guest and external host is ok.

Additional info:
1.opening "Control Panel" and clicking "View network status and tasks"--->clicking "Change adapter settings"--->right clicking "Ted Hat VirtIO Ethernet Adapter"
   --->clicking "Diagnose", the windows network diagnostics report: Troubleshooting couldn't Diagnostics.
   --->clicking "Disable",there is not any effect after this.
2.If we restart the guest again, the status is what we expected.
3.Reboot don't have this problem.
