Chapter 11. Known issues This part describes known issues in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.4. 11.1. Installer and image creation The auth and authconfig Kickstart commands require the AppStream repository The authselect-compat package is required by the auth and authconfig Kickstart commands during installation. Without this package, the installation fails if auth or authconfig are used. However, by design, the authselect-compat package is only available in the AppStream repository. To work around this problem, verify that the BaseOS and AppStream repositories are available to the installation program or use the authselect Kickstart command during installation. Bugzilla:1640697 [1] The reboot --kexec and inst.kexec commands do not provide a predictable system state Performing a RHEL installation with the reboot --kexec Kickstart command or the inst.kexec kernel boot parameters do not provide the same predictable system state as a full reboot. As a consequence, switching to the installed system without rebooting can produce unpredictable results. Note that the kexec feature is deprecated and will be removed in a future release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Bugzilla:1697896 [1] Unexpected SELinux policies on systems where Anaconda is running as an application When Anaconda is running as an application on an already installed system (for example to perform another installation to an image file using the -image anaconda option), the system is not prohibited to modify the SELinux types and attributes during installation. As a consequence, certain elements of SELinux policy might change on the system where Anaconda is running. To work around this problem, do not run Anaconda on the production system. Instead, run Anaconda in a temporary virtual machine to keep the SELinux policy unchanged on a production system. Running anaconda as part of the system installation process such as installing from boot.iso or dvd.iso is not affected by this issue. Bugzilla:2050140 Local Media installation source is not detected when booting the installation from a USB that is created using a third party tool When booting the RHEL installation from a USB that is created using a third party tool, the installation program fails to detect the Local Media installation source (only Red Hat CDN is detected). This issue occurs because the default boot option int.stage2= attempts to search for iso9660 image format. However, a third party tool might create an ISO image with a different format. As a workaround, use either of the following solution: When booting the installation, click the Tab key to edit the kernel command line, and change the boot option inst.stage2= to inst.repo= . To create a bootable USB device on Windows, use Fedora Media Writer. When using a third party tool such as Rufus to create a bootable USB device, first regenerate the RHEL ISO image on a Linux system, and then use the third party tool to create a bootable USB device. For more information on the steps involved in performing any of the specified workaround, see, Installation media is not auto-detected during the installation of RHEL 8.3 . Bugzilla:1877697 [1] The USB CD-ROM drive is not available as an installation source in Anaconda Installation fails when the USB CD-ROM drive is the source for it and the Kickstart ignoredisk --only-use= command is specified. In this case, Anaconda cannot find and use this source disk. To work around this problem, use the harddrive --partition=sdX --dir=/ command to install from USB CD-ROM drive. As a result, the installation does not fail. Jira:RHEL-4707 Hard drive partitioned installations with iso9660 filesystem fails You cannot install RHEL on systems where the hard drive is partitioned with the iso9660 filesystem. This is due to the updated installation code that is set to ignore any hard disk containing a iso9660 file system partition. This happens even when RHEL is installed without using a DVD. To work around this problem, add the following script in the Kickstart file to format the disc before the installation starts. Note: Before performing the workaround, backup the data available on the disk. The wipefs command formats all the existing data from the disk. As a result, installations work as expected without any errors. Jira:RHEL-4711 Anaconda fails to verify existence of an administrator user account While installing RHEL using a graphical user interface, Anaconda fails to verify if the administrator account has been created. As a consequence, users might install a system without any administrator user account. To work around this problem, ensure you configure an administrator user account or the root password is set and the root account is unlocked. As a result, users can perform administrative tasks on the installed system. Bugzilla:2047713 New XFS features prevent booting of PowerNV IBM POWER systems with firmware older than version 5.10 PowerNV IBM POWER systems use a Linux kernel for firmware, and use Petitboot as a replacement for GRUB. This results in the firmware kernel mounting /boot and Petitboot reading the GRUB config and booting RHEL. The RHEL 9 kernel introduces bigtime=1 and inobtcount=1 features to the XFS filesystem, which kernels with firmware older than version 5.10 do not understand. To work around this problem, you can use another filesystem for /boot , for example ext4. Bugzilla:1997832 [1] RHEL for Edge installer image fails to create mount points when installing an rpm-ostree payload When deploying rpm-ostree payloads, used for example in a RHEL for Edge installer image, the installation program does not properly create some mount points for custom partitions. As a consequence, the installation is aborted with the following error: To work around this issue: Use an automatic partitioning scheme and do not add any mount points manually. Manually assign mount points only inside /var directory. For example, /var/ my-mount-point ), and the following standard directories: / , /boot , /var . As a result, the installation process finishes successfully. Jira:RHEL-4741 NetworkManager fails to start after the installation when connected to a network but without DHCP or a static IP address configured Starting with RHEL 9.0, Anaconda activates network devices automatically when there is no specific ip= or Kickstart network configuration set. Anaconda creates a default persistent configuration file for each Ethernet device. The connection profile has the ONBOOT and autoconnect value set to true . As a consequence, during the start of the installed system, RHEL activates the network devices, and the networkManager-wait-online service fails. As a workaround, do one of the following: Delete all connections using the nmcli utility except one connection you want to use. For example: List all connection profiles: Delete the connection profiles that you do not require: Replace <connection_name> with the name of the connection you want to delete. Disable the auto connect network feature in Anaconda if no specific ip= or Kickstart network configuration is set. In the Anaconda GUI, navigate to Network & Hostname . Select a network device to disable. Click Configure . On the General tab, clear the Connect automatically with priority checkbox. Click Save . Bugzilla:2115783 [1] Kickstart installations fail to configure the network connection Anaconda performs the Kickstart network configuration only through the NetworkManager API. Anaconda processes the network configuration after the %pre Kickstart section. As a consequence, some tasks from the Kickstart %pre section are blocked. For example, downloading packages from the %pre section fails due to unavailability of the network configuration. To work around this problem: Configure the network, for example using the nmcli tool, as a part of the %pre script. Use the installation program boot options to configure the network for the %pre script. As a result, it is possible to use the network for tasks in the %pre section and the Kickstart installation process completes. Bugzilla:2173992 Enabling the FIPS mode is not supported when building rpm-ostree images with RHEL image builder Currently, there is no support to enable the FIPS mode when building rpm-ostree images with RHEL image builder. Jira:RHEL-4655 Images built with the stig profile remediation fails to boot with FIPS error FIPS mode is not supported by RHEL image builder. When using RHEL image builder customized with the xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_profile_stig profile remediation, the system fails to boot with the following error: Enabling the FIPS policy manually after the system image installation with the fips-mode-setup --enable command does not work, because the /boot directory is on a different partition. System boots successfully if FIPS is disabled. Currently, there is no workaround available. Note You can manually enable FIPS after installing the image by using the fips-mode-setup --enable command. Jira:RHEL-4649 Driver disk menu fails to display user inputs on the console When you start RHEL installation using the inst.dd option on the kernel command line with a driver disk, the console fails to display the user input. Consequently, it appears that the application does not respond to the user input and stops responding, but displays the output which is confusing for users. However, this behavior does not affect the functionality, and user input gets registered after pressing Enter . As a workaround, to see the expected results, ignore the absence of user inputs in the console and press Enter when you finish adding inputs. Jira:RHEL-4737 Kickstart installation fails due to missing packages with systemd service files in %packages section If the Kickstart file uses the services --enabled=... directive to enable systemd services and packages containing the specified service file are not included in the %packages section, the RHEL installation process fails with the following error: To work around this problem, include the package with the service file in Kickstart's %packages section. As a result, RHEL installation completes, enabling expected services during installation. Jira:RHEL-9633 [1] bootc-image-builder does not support building images from private registries Currently, you cannot build base disk images which come from private registries by using bootc-image-builder . To work around this issue, copy the private registry into your localhost, then build the image with the following arguments: --local localhost/<image name>:tag as the image For example, to build your image: Jira:RHEL-34054 Stale network link configuration files render your OS unbootable The RHEL installer creates stale /etc/systemd/network/ link configuration files during the installation. These files map interface names to MAC addresses and cause problems when network configurations change. Specifically, the outdated files interfere with the intended network settings. This leads to an unbootable system if the boot is from NVMe over TCP. To work around this problem, manually remove /etc/systemd/network/10-anaconda-ifname-nbft*.link files and regenerate the initramfs temporary root filesystem by running the dracut -f command. Jira:RHELDOCS-18924 RHEL installer does not automatically discover or use iSCSI devices as boot devices on aarch64 The absence of the iscsi_ibft kernel module in RHEL installers running on aarch64 prevents automatic discovery of iSCSI devices defined in firmware. These devices are not automatically visible in the installer nor selectable as boot devices when added manually by using the GUI. As a workaround, add the "inst.nonibftiscsiboot" parameter to the kernel command line when booting the installer and then manually attach iSCSI devices through the GUI. As a result, the installer can recognize the attached iSCSI devices as bootable and installation completes as expected. For more information, see KCS solution . Jira:RHEL-56135 Kickstart installation fails with an unknown disk error when 'ignoredisk' command precedes 'iscsi' command Installing RHEL by using the kickstart method fails if the ignoredisk command is placed before the iscsi command. This issue occurs because the iscsi command attaches the specified iSCSI device during command parsing, while the ignoredisk command resolves device specifications simultaneously. If the ignoredisk command references an iSCSI device name before it is attached by the iscsi command, the installation fails with an "unknown disk" error. As a workaround, ensure that the iscsi command is placed before the ignoredisk command in the Kickstart file to reference the iSCSI disk and enable successful installation. Jira:RHEL-13837 The services Kickstart command fails to disable the firewalld service A bug in Anaconda prevents the services --disabled=firewalld command from disabling the firewalld service in Kickstart. To work around this problem, use the firewall --disabled command instead. As a result, the firewalld service is disabled properly. Jira:RHEL-82566 11.2. Security OpenSSL does not detect if a PKCS #11 token supports the creation of raw RSA or RSA-PSS signatures The TLS 1.3 protocol requires support for RSA-PSS signatures. If a PKCS #11 token does not support raw RSA or RSA-PSS signatures, server applications that use the OpenSSL library fail to work with an RSA key if the key is held by the PKCS #11 token. As a result, TLS communication fails in the described scenario. To work around this problem, configure servers and clients to use TLS version 1.2 as the highest TLS protocol version available. Bugzilla:1681178 [1] OpenSSL incorrectly handles PKCS #11 tokens that does not support raw RSA or RSA-PSS signatures The OpenSSL library does not detect key-related capabilities of PKCS #11 tokens. Consequently, establishing a TLS connection fails when a signature is created with a token that does not support raw RSA or RSA-PSS signatures. To work around the problem, add the following lines after the .include line at the end of the crypto_policy section in the /etc/pki/tls/openssl.cnf file: As a result, a TLS connection can be established in the described scenario. Bugzilla:1685470 [1] With a specific syntax, scp empties files copied to themselves The scp utility changed from the Secure copy protocol (SCP) to the more secure SSH file transfer protocol (SFTP). Consequently, copying a file from a location to the same location erases the file content. The problem affects the following syntax: scp localhost:/myfile localhost:/myfile To work around this problem, do not copy files to a destination that is the same as the source location using this syntax. The problem has been fixed for the following syntaxes: scp /myfile localhost:/myfile scp localhost:~/myfile ~/myfile Bugzilla:2056884 The OSCAP Anaconda add-on does not fetch tailored profiles in the graphical installation The OSCAP Anaconda add-on does not provide an option to select or deselect tailoring of security profiles in the RHEL graphical installation. Starting from RHEL 8.8, the add-on does not take tailoring into account by default when installing from archives or RPM packages. Consequently, the installation displays the following error message instead of fetching an OSCAP tailored profile: To work around this problem, you must specify paths in the %addon org_fedora_oscap section of your Kickstart file, for example: As a result, you can use the graphical installation for OSCAP tailored profiles only with the corresponding Kickstart specifications. Jira:RHEL-1824 Ansible remediations require additional collections With the replacement of Ansible Engine by the ansible-core package, the list of Ansible modules provided with the RHEL subscription is reduced. As a consequence, running remediations that use Ansible content included within the scap-security-guide package requires collections from the rhc-worker-playbook package. For an Ansible remediation, perform the following steps: Install the required packages: Navigate to the /usr/share/scap-security-guide/ansible directory: Run the relevant Ansible Playbook using environment variables that define the path to the additional Ansible collections: # ANSIBLE_COLLECTIONS_PATH=/usr/share/rhc-worker-playbook/ansible/collections/ansible_collections/ ansible-playbook -c local -i localhost, rhel9-playbook- cis_server_l1 .yml Replace cis_server_l1 with the ID of the profile against which you want to remediate the system. As a result, the Ansible content is processed correctly. Note Support of the collections provided in rhc-worker-playbook is limited to enabling the Ansible content sourced in scap-security-guide . Jira:RHEL-1800 Keylime does not accept concatenated PEM certificates When Keylime receives a certificate chain as multiple certificates in the PEM format concatenated in a single file, the keylime-agent-rust Keylime component does not correctly use all the provided certificates during signature verification, resulting in a TLS handshake failure. As a consequence, the client components ( keylime_verifier and keylime_tenant ) cannot connect to the Keylime agent. To work around this problem, use just one certificate instead of multiple certificates. Jira:RHELPLAN-157225 [1] Keylime refuses runtime policies whose digests start with a backslash The current script for generating runtime policies, create_runtime_policy.sh , uses SHA checksum functions, for example, sha256sum , to compute the file digest. However, when the input file name contains a backslash or \n , the checksum function adds a backslash before the digest in its output. In such cases, the generated policy file is malformed. When provided with the malformed policy file, the Keylime tenant produces the following or similar error message: me.tenant - ERROR - Response code 400: Runtime policy is malformatted . To work around the problem, remove the backslash from the malformed policy file manually by entering the following command: sed -i 's/^\\//g' <malformed_file_name> . Jira:RHEL-11867 [1] Keylime agent rejects requests from the verifier after update When the API version number of the Keylime agent ( keylime-agent-rust ) has been updated, the agent rejects requests that use a different version. As a consequence, if a Keylime agent is added to a verifier and then updated, the verifier tries to contact the agent using the old API version. The agent rejects this request and fails the attestation. To work around this problem, update the verifier ( keylime-verifier ) before updating the agent ( keylime-agent-rust ). As a result, when the agents are updated, the verifier detects the API change and updates its stored data accordingly. Jira:RHEL-1518 [1] Missing files in trustdb cause denials for fapolicyd When fapolicyd is installed with the Ansible DISA STIG profile, a race condition causes the trustdb database to be out of sync with the rpmdb database. As a consequence, missing files in trustdb cause denials on the system. To work around this problem, restart fapolicyd or run the Ansible DISA STIG profile again. Jira:RHEL-24345 [1] The fapolicyd utility incorrectly allows executing changed files Correctly, the IMA hash of a file should update after any change to the file, and fapolicyd should prevent execution of the changed file. However, this does not happen due to differences in IMA policy setup and in file hashing by the evctml utility. As a result, the IMA hash is not updated in the extended attribute of a changed file. Consequently, fapolicyd incorrectly allows the execution of the changed file. Jira:RHEL-520 [1] Default SELinux policy allows unconfined executables to make their stack executable The default state of the selinuxuser_execstack boolean in the SELinux policy is on, which means that unconfined executables can make their stack executable. Executables should not use this option, and it might indicate poorly coded executables or a possible attack. However, due to compatibility with other tools, packages, and third-party products, Red Hat cannot change the value of the boolean in the default policy. If your scenario does not depend on such compatibility aspects, you can turn the boolean off in your local policy by entering the command setsebool -P selinuxuser_execstack off . Bugzilla:2064274 SSH timeout rules in STIG profiles configure incorrect options An update of OpenSSH affected the rules in the following Defense Information Systems Agency Security Technical Implementation Guide (DISA STIG) profiles: DISA STIG for RHEL 9 ( xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_profile_stig ) DISA STIG with GUI for RHEL 9 ( xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_profile_stig_gui ) In each of these profiles, the following two rules are affected: When applied to SSH servers, each of these rules configures an option ( ClientAliveCountMax and ClientAliveInterval ) that no longer behaves as previously. As a consequence, OpenSSH no longer disconnects idle SSH users when it reaches the timeout configured by these rules. As a workaround, these rules have been temporarily removed from the DISA STIG for RHEL 9 and DISA STIG with GUI for RHEL 9 profiles until a solution is developed. Bugzilla:2038978 GnuPG incorrectly allows using SHA-1 signatures even if disallowed by crypto-policies The GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG) cryptographic software can create and verify signatures that use the SHA-1 algorithm regardless of the settings defined by the system-wide cryptographic policies. Consequently, you can use SHA-1 for cryptographic purposes in the DEFAULT cryptographic policy, which is not consistent with the system-wide deprecation of this insecure algorithm for signatures. To work around this problem, do not use GnuPG options that involve SHA-1. As a result, you will prevent GnuPG from lowering the default system security by using the insecure SHA-1 signatures. Bugzilla:2070722 OpenSCAP memory-consumption problems On systems with limited memory, the OpenSCAP scanner might stop prematurely or it might not generate the results files. To work around this problem, you can customize the scanning profile to deselect rules that involve recursion over the entire / file system: rpm_verify_hashes rpm_verify_permissions rpm_verify_ownership file_permissions_unauthorized_world_writable no_files_unowned_by_user dir_perms_world_writable_system_owned file_permissions_unauthorized_suid file_permissions_unauthorized_sgid file_permissions_ungroupowned dir_perms_world_writable_sticky_bits For more details and more workarounds, see the related Knowledgebase article . Bugzilla:2161499 Remediating service-related rules during Kickstart installations might fail During a Kickstart installation, the OpenSCAP utility sometimes incorrectly shows that a service enable or disable state remediation is not needed. Consequently, OpenSCAP might set the services on the installed system to a noncompliant state. As a workaround, you can scan and remediate the system after the Kickstart installation. This will fix the service-related issues. Jira:RHELPLAN-44202 [1] Interoperability of FIPS:OSPP hosts impacted due to CNSA 1.0 The OSPP subpolicy has been aligned with Commercial National Security Algorithm (CNSA) 1.0. This affects the interoperability of hosts that use the FIPS:OSPP policy-subpolicy combination, with the following major aspects: Minimum RSA key size is mandated at 3072 bits. Algorithm negotiations no longer support AES-128 ciphers, the secp256r1 elliptic curve, and the FFDHE-2048 group. Jira:RHEL-2735 [1] Missing rules in the SELinux policy block permissions to SQL databases Missing permission rules from the SELinux policy block connections to SQL databases. Consequently, the FIDO Device Onboard (FDO) services fdo-manufacturing-server.service , fdo-owner-onboarding-server.service , and fdo-rendezvous-server.service cannot connect to FDO databases, such as PostgreSQL and SQLite. Therefore, the system cannot start the FDO by using the supported databases for credentials and other parameters, such as storing ownership vouchers. You can work around this problem by performing the following steps: Create a new file named local_fdo_update.cil and enter the missing SELinux policy rules: Install the policy module package: As a consequence, FDO can connect to the PostgreSQL database and also fix problems related to SQLite permissions over /var/lib/fdo/ , where the SQLite database files are expected to be located. Jira:RHEL-28814 OpenSSH no longer logs timeout before authentication OpenSSH does not record a timeout before authentication for USDIP port USDPORT to the log. This might be important because the Fail2Ban intrusion prevention daemon and similar systems use these log records in its mdre-ddos regular expression and no longer ban the IPs of clients that attempt this type of attack. There is currently no known workaround for this problem. Jira:RHEL-45727 OpenSSH in RHEL 9.0-9.3 is not compatible with OpenSSL 3.2.2 The openssh packages provided by RHEL 9.0, 9.1, 9.2, and 9.3 strictly check for the OpenSSL version. Consequently, if you upgrade the openssl packages to version 3.2.2 and higher and you keep the openssh packages in version 8.7p1-34.el9_3.3 or earlier, the sshd service fails to start with an OpenSSL version mismatch error message. To work around this problem, upgrade the openssh packages to version 8.7p1-38.el9 and later. See the sshd not working, OpenSSL version mismatch solution (Red Hat Knowledgebase) for more information. Jira:RHELDOCS-19626 11.3. RHEL for Edge The open-vm-tools package is not available in the edge-vsphere image Currently, the open-vm-tools package is not installed by default in the edge-vsphere image. To work around this issue, include the package in the blueprint customization. When using the edge-vsphere image type, add the open-vm-tools in the blueprint for the RHEL for Edge Container image or the RHEL for Edge Commit image. Jira:RHELDOCS-16574 [1] 11.4. Software management The Installation process sometimes becomes unresponsive When you install RHEL, the installation process sometimes becomes unresponsive. The /tmp/packaging.log file displays the following message at the end: To work around this problem, restart the installation process. Bugzilla:2073510 Running createrepo_c on local repositories generates duplicate repodata files When you run the createrepo_c command on local repositories, it generates duplicate copies of repodata files, one of the copies is compressed and one is not. There is no workaround available, however, you can safely ignore the duplicate files. The createrepo_c command generates duplicate copies because of requirements and differences in other tools relying on repositories created by using createrepo_c . Bugzilla:2056318 11.5. Shells and command-line tools Renaming network interfaces using ifcfg files fails On RHEL 9, the initscripts package is not installed by default. Consequently, renaming network interfaces using ifcfg files fails. To solve this problem, Red Hat recommends that you use udev rules or link files to rename interfaces. For further details, see Consistent network interface device naming and the systemd.link(5) man page. If you cannot use one of the recommended solutions, install the initscripts package. Bugzilla:2018112 [1] The chkconfig package is not installed by default in RHEL 9 The chkconfig package, which updates and queries runlevel information for system services, is not installed by default in RHEL 9. To manage services, use the systemctl commands or install the chkconfig package manually. For more information about systemd , see Introduction to systemd . For instructions on how to use the systemctl utility, see Managing system services with systemctl . Bugzilla:2053598 [1] The initscripts package is not installed by default By default, the initscripts package is not installed. As a consequence, the ifup and ifdown utilities are not available. As an alternative, use the nmcli connection up and nmcli connection down commands to enable and disable connections. If the suggested alternative does not work for you, report the problem and install the NetworkManager-initscripts-updown package, which provides a NetworkManager solution for the ifup and ifdown utilities. Bugzilla:2082303 Setting the console keymap requires the libxkbcommon library on your minimal install In RHEL 9, certain systemd library dependencies have been converted from dynamic linking to dynamic loading, so that your system opens and uses the libraries at runtime when they are available. With this change, a functionality that depends on such libraries is not available unless you install the necessary library. This also affects setting the keyboard layout on systems with a minimal install. As a result, the localectl --no-convert set-x11-keymap gb command fails. To work around this problem, install the libxkbcommon library: Jira:RHEL-6105 The %vmeff metric from the sysstat package displays incorrect values The sysstat package provides the %vmeff metric to measure the page reclaim efficiency. The values of the %vmeff column returned by the sar -B command are incorrect because sysstat does not parse all relevant /proc/vmstat values provided by later kernel versions. To work around this problem, you can calculate the %vmeff value manually from the /proc/vmstat file. For details, see Why the sar(1) tool reports %vmeff values beyond 100 % in RHEL 8 and RHEL 9? Jira:RHEL-12009 The Service Location Protocol (SLP) is vulnerable to an attack through UDP The OpenSLP provides a dynamic configuration mechanism for applications in local area networks, such as printers and file servers. However, SLP is vulnerable to a reflective denial of service amplification attack through UDP on systems connected to the internet. SLP allows an unauthenticated attacker to register new services without limits set by the SLP implementation. By using UDP and spoofing the source address, an attacker can request the service list, creating a Denial of service on the spoofed address. To prevent external attackers from accessing the SLP service, disable SLP on all systems running on untrusted networks, such as those directly connected to the internet. Alternatively, to work around this problem, configure firewalls to block or filter traffic on UDP and TCP port 427. Jira:RHEL-6995 [1] The ReaR rescue image on UEFI systems with Secure Boot enabled fails to boot with the default settings ReaR image creation by using the rear mkrescue or rear mkbackup command fails with the following message: The missing files are part of the grub2-efi-x64-modules package. If you install this package, the rescue image is created successfully without any errors. When the UEFI Secure Boot is enabled, the rescue image is not bootable because it uses a boot loader that is not signed. To work around this problem, add the following variables to the /etc/rear/local.conf or /etc/rear/site.conf ReaR configuration file): With the suggested workaround, the image can be produced successfully even on systems without the grub2-efi-x64-modules package, and it is bootable on systems with Secure Boot enabled. In addition, during the system recovery, the bootloader of the recovered system is set to the EFI shim bootloader. For more information about UEFI , Secure Boot , and shim bootloader , see the UEFI: what happens when booting the system Knowledge Base article. Jira:RHELDOCS-18064 [1] The %util column produced by sar and iostat utilities is invalid When you collect system usage statistics by using the sar or iostat utilities, the %util column produced by sar or iostat might contain invalid data. Jira:RHEL-26275 [1] The lsb-release binary is not available in RHEL 9 The information in /etc/os-release was previously available by calling the lsb-release binary. This binary was included in the redhat-lsb package , which was removed in RHEL 9. Now, you can display information about the operating system, such as the distribution, version, code name, and associated metadata, by reading the /etc/os-release file. This file is provided by Red Hat and any changes to it will be overwritten with each update of the redhat-release package. The format of the file is KEY=VALUE , and you can safely source the data for a shell script. Jira:RHELDOCS-16427 [1] 11.6. Infrastructure services Both bind and unbound disable validation of SHA-1-based signatures The bind and unbound components disable validation support of all RSA/SHA1 (algorithm number 5) and RSASHA1-NSEC3-SHA1 (algorithm number 7) signatures, and the SHA-1 usage for signatures is restricted in the DEFAULT system-wide cryptographic policy. As a result, certain DNSSEC records signed with the SHA-1, RSA/SHA1, and RSASHA1-NSEC3-SHA1 digest algorithms fail to verify in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 and the affected domain names become vulnerable. To work around this problem, upgrade to a different signature algorithm, such as RSA/SHA-256 or elliptic curve keys. For more information and a list of top-level domains that are affected and vulnerable, see the DNSSEC records signed with RSASHA1 fail to verify solution. Bugzilla:2070495 named fails to start if the same writable zone file is used in multiple zones BIND does not allow the same writable zone file in multiple zones. Consequently, if a configuration includes multiple zones which share a path to a file that can be modified by the named service, named fails to start. To work around this problem, use the in-view clause to share one zone between multiple views and make sure to use different paths for different zones. For example, include the view names in the path. Note that writable zone files are typically used in zones with allowed dynamic updates, secondary zones, or zones maintained by DNSSEC. Bugzilla:1984982 libotr is not compliant with FIPS The libotr library and toolkit for off-the-record (OTR) messaging provides end-to-end encryption for instant messaging conversations. However, the libotr library does not conform to the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) due to its use of the gcry_pk_sign() and gcry_pk_verify() functions. As a result, you cannot use the libotr library in FIPS mode. Bugzilla:2086562 11.7. Networking kTLS does not support offloading of TLS 1.3 to NICs Kernel Transport Layer Security (kTLS) does not support offloading of TLS 1.3 to NICs. Consequently, software encryption is used with TLS 1.3 even when the NICs support TLS offload. To work around this problem, disable TLS 1.3 if offload is required. As a result, you can offload only TLS 1.2. When TLS 1.3 is in use, there is lower performance, since TLS 1.3 cannot be offloaded. Bugzilla:2000616 [1] Failure to update the session key causes the connection to break Kernel Transport Layer Security (kTLS) protocol does not support updating the session key, which is used by the symmetric cipher. Consequently, the user cannot update the key, which causes a connection break. To work around this problem, disable kTLS.

Kernel Customer applications with dependencies on kernel page size might need updating when moving from 4k to 64k page size kernel RHEL is compatible with both 4k and 64k page size kernels. Customer applications with dependencies on a 4k kernel page size might require updating when moving from 4k to 64k page size kernels. Known instances of this include jemalloc and dependent applications. The jemalloc memory allocator library is sensitive to the page size used in the system's runtime environment. The library can be built to be compatible with 4k and 64k page size kernels, for example, when configured with --with-lg-page=16 or env JEMALLOC_SYS_WITH_LG_PAGE=16 (for jemallocator Rust crate). Consequently, a mismatch can occur between the page size of the runtime environment and the page size that was present when compiling binaries that depend on jemalloc . As a result, using a jemalloc -based application triggers the following error: To avoid this problem, use one of the following approaches: Use the appropriate build configuration or environment options to create 4k and 64k page size compatible binaries. Build any user space packages that use jemalloc after booting into the final 64k kernel and runtime environment. For example, you can build the fd-find tool, which also uses jemalloc , with the cargo Rust package manager. In the final 64k environment, trigger a new build of all dependencies to resolve the mismatch in the page size by entering the cargo command: Bugzilla:2167783 [1] Upgrading to the latest real-time kernel with dnf does not install multiple kernel versions in parallel Installing the latest real-time kernel with the dnf package manager requires resolving package dependencies to retain the new and current kernel versions simultaneously. By default, dnf removes the older kernel-rt package during the upgrade. As a workaround, add the current kernel-rt package to the installonlypkgs option in the /etc/yum.conf configuration file, for example, installonlypkgs=kernel-rt . The installonlypkgs option appends kernel-rt to the default list used by dnf . Packages listed in installonlypkgs directive are not removed automatically and therefore support multiple kernel versions to install simultaneously. Note that having multiple kernels installed is a way to have a fallback option when working with a new kernel version. Bugzilla:2181571 [1] The Delay Accounting functionality does not display the SWAPIN and IO% statistics columns by default The Delayed Accounting functionality, unlike early versions, is disabled by default. Consequently, the iotop application does not show the SWAPIN and IO% statistics columns and displays the following warning: The Delay Accounting functionality, using the taskstats interface, provides the delay statistics for all tasks or threads that belong to a thread group. Delays in task execution occur when they wait for a kernel resource to become available, for example, a task waiting for a free CPU to run on. The statistics help in setting a task's CPU priority, I/O priority, and rss limit values appropriately. As a workaround, you can enable the delayacct boot option either at run time or boot. To enable delayacct at run time, enter: Note that this command enables the feature system wide, but only for the tasks that you start after running this command. To enable delayacct permanently at boot, use one of the following procedures: Edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file to override the default parameters: Add the following entry to the /etc/sysctl.conf file: For more information, see How to set sysctl variables on Red Hat Enterprise Linux . Reboot the system for changes to take effect. Add the delayacct option to the kernel command line. For more information, see Configuring kernel command-line parameters . As a result, the iotop application displays the SWAPIN and IO% statistics columns. Bugzilla:2132480 [1] Hardware certification of the real-time kernel on systems with large core-counts might require passing the skew_tick=1 boot parameter Large or moderate sized systems with numerous sockets and large core-counts can experience latency spikes due to lock contentions on xtime_lock , which is used in the timekeeping system. As a consequence, latency spikes and delays in hardware certifications might occur on multiprocessing systems. As a workaround, you can offset the timer tick per CPU to start at a different time by adding the skew_tick=1 boot parameter. To avoid lock conflicts, enable skew_tick=1 : Enable the skew_tick=1 parameter with grubby . Reboot for changes to take effect. Verify the new settings by displaying the kernel parameters you pass during boot. Note that enabling skew_tick=1 causes a significant increase in power consumption and, therefore, it must be enabled only if you are running latency sensitive real-time workloads. Jira:RHEL-9318 [1] The kdump mechanism fails to capture the vmcore file on LUKS-encrypted targets When running kdump on systems with Linux Unified Key Setup (LUKS) encrypted partitions, systems require a certain amount of available memory. When the available memory is less than the required amount of memory, the systemd-cryptsetup service fails to mount the partition. Consequently, the second kernel fails to capture the crash dump file on the LUKS-encrypted targets. As a workaround, query the Recommended crashkernel value and gradually increase the memory size to an appropriate value. The Recommended crashkernel value can serve as reference to set the required memory size. Print the estimate crash kernel value. Configure the amount of required memory by increasing the crashkernel value. Reboot the system for changes to take effect.

Bugzilla:2129288 [1] weak-modules from kmod fails to work with module inter-dependencies The weak-modules script provided by the kmod package determines which modules are kABI-compatible with installed kernels. However, while checking modules' kernel compatibility, weak-modules processes modules symbol dependencies from higher to lower release of the kernel for which they were built. As a consequence, modules with inter-dependencies built against different kernel releases might be interpreted as non-compatible, and therefore the weak-modules script fails to work in this scenario. To work around the problem, build or put the extra modules against the latest stock kernel before you install the new kernel.

Bugzilla:2157708 The --ssl-fips-mode option in MySQL and MariaDB does not change FIPS mode The --ssl-fips-mode option in MySQL and MariaDB in RHEL works differently than in upstream. In RHEL 9, if you use --ssl-fips-mode as an argument for the mysqld or mariadbd daemon, or if you use ssl-fips-mode in the MySQL or MariaDB server configuration files, --ssl-fips-mode does not change FIPS mode for these database servers. Instead: If you set --ssl-fips-mode to ON , the mysqld or mariadbd server daemon does not start. If you set --ssl-fips-mode to OFF on a FIPS-enabled system, the mysqld or mariadbd server daemons still run in FIPS mode. This is expected because FIPS mode should be enabled or disabled for the whole RHEL system, not for specific components. Therefore, do not use the --ssl-fips-mode option in MySQL or MariaDB in RHEL. Instead, ensure FIPS mode is enabled on the whole RHEL system: Preferably, install RHEL with FIPS mode enabled. Enabling FIPS mode during the installation ensures that the system generates all keys with FIPS-approved algorithms and continuous monitoring tests in place. For information about installing RHEL in FIPS mode, see Installing the system in FIPS mode . Alternatively, you can switch FIPS mode for the entire RHEL system by following the procedure in Switching the system to FIPS mode . Bugzilla:1991500 11.11. Identity Management MIT Kerberos does not support ECC certificates for PKINIT MIT Kerberos does not implement the RFC5349 request for comments document, which describes the design of elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC) support in Public Key Cryptography for initial authentication (PKINIT). Consequently, the MIT krb5-pkinit package, used by RHEL, does not support ECC certificates. For more information, see Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) Support for Public Key Cryptography for Initial Authentication in Kerberos (PKINIT) . Jira:RHEL-4902 The DEFAULT:SHA1 subpolicy has to be set on RHEL 9 clients for PKINIT to work against AD KDCs The SHA-1 digest algorithm has been deprecated in RHEL 9, and CMS messages for Public Key Cryptography for initial authentication (PKINIT) are now signed with the stronger SHA-256 algorithm. However, the Active Directory (AD) Kerberos Distribution Center (KDC) still uses the SHA-1 digest algorithm to sign CMS messages. As a result, RHEL 9 Kerberos clients fail to authenticate users by using PKINIT against an AD KDC. To work around the problem, enable support for the SHA-1 algorithm on your RHEL 9 systems with the following command: Bugzilla:2060798 The PKINIT authentication of a user fails if a RHEL 9 Kerberos agent communicates with a non-RHEL-9 and non-AD Kerberos agent If a RHEL 9 Kerberos agent, either a client or Kerberos Distribution Center (KDC), interacts with a non-RHEL-9 Kerberos agent that is not an Active Directory (AD) agent, the PKINIT authentication of the user fails. To work around the problem, perform one of the following actions: Set the RHEL 9 agent's crypto-policy to DEFAULT:SHA1 to allow the verification of SHA-1 signatures: Update the non-RHEL-9 and non-AD agent to ensure it does not sign CMS data using the SHA-1 algorithm. For this, update your Kerberos client or KDC packages to the versions that use SHA-256 instead of SHA-1: CentOS 9 Stream: krb5-1.19.1-15 RHEL 8.7: krb5-1.18.2-17 RHEL 7.9: krb5-1.15.1-53 Fedora Rawhide/36: krb5-1.19.2-7 Fedora 35/34: krb5-1.19.2-3 As a result, the PKINIT authentication of the user works correctly. Note that for other operating systems, it is the krb5-1.20 release that ensures that the agent signs CMS data with SHA-256 instead of SHA-1. See also The DEFAULT:SHA1 subpolicy has to be set on RHEL 9 clients for PKINIT to work against AD KDCs . Jira:RHEL-4875 Heimdal client fails to authenticate a user using PKINIT against RHEL 9 KDC By default, a Heimdal Kerberos client initiates the PKINIT authentication of an IdM user by using Modular Exponential (MODP) Diffie-Hellman Group 2 for Internet Key Exchange (IKE). However, the MIT Kerberos Distribution Center (KDC) on RHEL 9 only supports MODP Group 14 and 16. Consequently, the pre-autentication request fails with the krb5_get_init_creds: PREAUTH_FAILED error on the Heimdal client and Key parameters not accepted on the RHEL MIT KDC. To work around this problem, ensure that the Heimdal client uses MODP Group 14.

Jira:RHEL-12154 [1] Users without SIDs cannot log in to IdM after an upgrade After upgrading your IdM replica to RHEL 9.2, the IdM Kerberos Distribution Center (KDC) might fail to issue ticket-granting tickets (TGTs) to users who do not have Security Identifiers (SIDs) assigned to their accounts. Consequently, the users cannot log in to their accounts. To work around the problem, generate SIDs by running the following command as an IdM administrator on another IdM replica in the topology: Afterward, if users still cannot log in, examine the Directory Server error log. You might have to adjust ID ranges to include user POSIX identities. See the When upgrading to RHEL9, IDM users are not able to login anymore Knowledgebase solution for more information.

Jira:RHELPLAN-109613 [1] MIT krb5 user fails to obtain an AD TGT because of incompatible encryption types generating the user PAC In MIT krb5 1.20 and later packages, a Privilege Attribute Certificate (PAC) is included in all Kerberos tickets by default. The MIT Kerberos Distribution Center (KDC) selects the strongest encryption type available to generate the KDC checksum in the PAC, which currently is the AES HMAC-SHA2 encryption types defined in RFC8009. However, Active Directory (AD) does not support this RFC. Consequently, in an AD-MIT cross-realm setup, an MIT krb5 user fails to obtain an AD ticket-granting ticket (TGT) because the cross-realm TGT generated by MIT KDC contains an incompatible KDC checksum type in the PAC. To work around the problem, set the disable_pac parameter to true for the MIT realm in the [realms] section of the /var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kdc.conf configuration file. As a result, the MIT KDC generates tickets without PAC, which means that AD skips the failing checksum verification and an MIT krb5 user can obtain an AD TGT.

Currently, the SSSD configuration option to enforce TLS, ldap_id_use_start_tls , defaults to false . Ensure that your setup operates in a trusted environment and decide if it is safe to use unencrypted communication for id_provider = ldap . Note id_provider = ad and id_provider = ipa are not affected as they use encrypted connections protected by SASL and GSSAPI. If it is not safe to use unencrypted communication, enforce TLS by setting the ldap_id_use_start_tls option to true in the /etc/sssd/sssd.conf file. The default behavior is planned to be changed in a future release of RHEL. Jira:RHELPLAN-155168 [1] Adding a RHEL 9 replica in FIPS mode to an IdM deployment in FIPS mode that was initialized with RHEL 8.6 or earlier fails The default RHEL 9 FIPS cryptographic policy aiming to comply with FIPS 140-3 does not allow the use of the AES HMAC-SHA1 encryption types' key derivation function as defined by RFC3961, section 5.1. This constraint is a blocker when adding a RHEL 9 Identity Management (IdM) replica in FIPS mode to a RHEL 8 IdM environment in FIPS mode in which the first server was installed on a RHEL 8.6 system or earlier. This is because there are no common encryption types between RHEL 9 and the RHEL versions, which commonly use the AES HMAC-SHA1 encryption types but do not use the AES HMAC-SHA2 encryption types.

Bugzilla:1608496 [1] Installing a RHEL 7 IdM client with a RHEL 9.2 and later IdM server in FIPS mode fails due to EMS enforcement The TLS Extended Master Secret (EMS) extension (RFC 7627) is now mandatory for TLS 1.2 connections on FIPS-enabled RHEL 9.2 and later systems. This is in accordance with FIPS-140-3 requirements. However, the openssl version available in RHEL 7.9 and lower does not support EMS. In consequence, installing a RHEL 7 Identity Management (IdM) client with a FIPS-enabled IdM server running on RHEL 9.2 and later fails. If upgrading the host to RHEL 8 before installing an IdM client on it is not an option, work around the problem by removing the requirement for EMS usage on the RHEL 9 server by applying a NO-ENFORCE-EMS subpolicy on top of the FIPS crypto policy: Note that this removal goes against the FIPS 140-3 requirements. As a result, you can establish and accept TLS 1.2 connections that do not use EMS, and the installation of a RHEL 7 IdM client succeeds.

Jira:RHEL-7337 Live post-copy migration of VMs with failover VFs fails Currently, attempting to post-copy migrate a running virtual machine (VM) fails if the VM uses a device with the virtual function (VF) failover capability enabled. To work around the problem, use the standard migration type, rather than post-copy migration. Jira:RHEL-7335 Host network cannot ping VMs with VFs during live migration When live migrating a virtual machine (VM) with a configured virtual function (VF), such as a VMs that uses virtual SR-IOV software, the network of the VM is not visible to other devices and the VM cannot be reached by commands such as ping . After the migration is finished, however, the problem no longer occurs. Jira:RHEL-7336 Disabling AVX causes VMs to become unbootable On a host machine that uses a CPU with Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) support, attempting to boot a VM with AVX explicitly disabled currently fails, and instead triggers a kernel panic in the VM. Bugzilla:2005173 [1] Windows VM fails to get IP address after network interface reset Sometimes, Windows virtual machines fail to get an IP address after an automatic network interface reset. As a consequence, the VM fails to connect to the network. To work around this problem, disable and re-enable the network adapter driver in the Windows Device Manager. Jira:RHEL-11366 Windows Server 2016 VMs sometimes stops working after hot-plugging a vCPU Currently, assigning a vCPU to a running virtual machine (VM) with a Windows Server 2016 guest operating system might cause a variety of problems, such as the VM stopping unexpectedly, becoming unresponsive, or rebooting. Bugzilla:1915715 Redundant error messages on VMs with NVIDIA passthrough devices When using an Intel host machine with a RHEL 9.2 and later operating system, virtual machines (VMs) with a passed through NVDIA GPU device frequently log the following error message: However, this error message does not impact the functionality of the VM and can be ignored. For details, see the Red Hat KnoweldgeBase . Bugzilla:2149989 [1] Restarting the OVS service on a host might block network connectivity on its running VMs When the Open vSwitch (OVS) service restarts or crashes on a host, virtual machines (VMs) that are running on this host cannot recover the state of the networking device. As a consequence, VMs might be completely unable to receive packets. This problem only affects systems that use the packed virtqueue format in their virtio networking stack. To work around this problem, use the packed=off parameter in the virtio networking device definition to disable packed virtqueue. With packed virtqueue disabled, the state of the networking device can, in some situations, be recovered from RAM. Jira:RHEL-333 Recovering an interrupted post-copy VM migration might fail If a post-copy migration of a virtual machine (VM) is interrupted and then immediately resumed on the same incoming port, the migration might fail with the following error: Address already in use To work around this problem, wait at least 10 seconds before resuming the post-copy migration or switch to another port for migration recovery. Jira:RHEL-7096 NUMA node mapping not working correctly on AMD EPYC CPUs QEMU does not handle NUMA node mapping on AMD EPYC CPUs correctly. As a result, the performance of virtual machines (VMs) with these CPUs might be negatively impacted if using a NUMA node configuration. In addition, the VMs display a warning similar to the following during boot. To work around this issue, do not use AMD EPYC CPUs for NUMA node configurations. Bugzilla:2176010 NFS failure during VM migration causes migration failure and source VM coredump Currently, if the NFS service or server is shut down during virtual machine (VM) migration, the source VM's QEMU is unable to reconnect to the NFS server when it starts running again. As a result, the migration fails and a coredump is initiated on the source VM. Currently, there is no workaround available. Bugzilla:2058982 PCIe ATS devices do not work on Windows VMs When you configure a PCIe Address Translation Services (ATS) device in the XML configuration of virtual machine (VM) with a Windows guest operating system, the guest does not enable the ATS device after booting the VM. This is because Windows currently does not support ATS on virtio devices. For more information, see the Red Hat KnowledgeBase . Bugzilla:2073872 virsh blkiotune --weight command fails to set the correct cgroup I/O controller value Currently, using the virsh blkiotune --weight command to set the VM weight does not work as expected. The command fails to set the correct io.bfq.weight value in the cgroup I/O controller interface file. There is no workaround at this time. Bugzilla:1970830 Starting a VM with an NVIDIA A16 GPU sometimes causes the host GPU to stop working Currently, if you start a VM that uses an NVIDIA A16 GPU passthrough device, the NVIDIA A16 GPU physical device on the host system in some cases stops working. To work around the problem, reboot the hypervisor and set the reset_method for the GPU device to bus : For details, see the Red Hat Knowledgebase . Jira:RHEL-7212 [1] Windows VMs might become unresponsive due to storage errors On virtual machines (VMs) that use Windows guest operating systems, the system in some cases becomes unresponsive when under high I/O load. When this happens, the system logs a viostor Reset to device, \Device\RaidPort3, was issued error. Jira:RHEL-1609 [1] Windows 10 VMs with certain PCI devices might become unresponsive on boot Currently, a virtual machine (VM) that uses a Windows 10 guest operating system might become unresponsive during boot if a virtio-win-scsi PCI device with a local disk back end is attached to the VM. To work around the problem, boot the VM with the multi_queue option enabled. Jira:RHEL-1084 [1] Windows 11 VMs with a memory balloon device set might close unexpectedly during reboot Currently, rebooting virtual machines (VMs) that use a Windows 11 guest operating system and a memory balloon device in some cases fails with a DRIVER POWER STAT FAILURE blue-screen error. Jira:RHEL-935 [1] Resuming a postcopy VM migration fails in some cases Currently, when performing a postcopy migration of a virtual machine (VM), if a proxy network failure occurs during the RECOVER phase of the migration, the VM becomes unresponsive and the migration cannot be resumed. Instead, the recovery command displays the following error: Jira:RHEL-7115 The virtio balloon driver sometimes does not work on Windows 10 VMs Under certain circumstances, the virtio-balloon driver does not work correctly on virtual machines (VMs) that use a Windows 10 guest operating system. As a consequence, such VMs might not use their assigned memory efficiently. Jira:RHEL-12118 The virtio file system has suboptimal performance in Windows VMs Currently, when a virtio file system (virtiofs) is configured on a virtual machine (VM) that uses a Windows guest operating system, the performance of virtiofs in the VM is significantly worse than in VMs that use Linux guests. Jira:RHEL-1212 [1] Hot-unplugging a storage device on Windows VMs might fail On virtual machines (VMs) that use a Windows guest operating system, removing a storage device when the VM is running (also known as a device hot-unplug) in some cases fails. As a consequence, the storage device remains attached to the VM and the disk manager service might become unresponsive. Jira:RHEL-869 Hot plugging CPUs to a Windows VM might cause a system failure When hot plugging the maximum number of CPUs to a Windows virtual machine (VM) with huge pages enabled, the guest operating system might crash with the following Stop error : Jira:RHEL-1220 Updating virtio drivers on Windows VMs might fail When updating the KVM paravirtualized ( virtio ) drivers on a Windows virtual machine (VM), the update might cause the mouse to stop working and the newly installed drivers might not be signed. This problem occurs when updating the virtio drivers by installing from the virtio-win-guest-tools package, which is a part of the virtio-win.iso file. To work around this problem, update the virtio drivers by using Windows Device Manager. Jira:RHEL-574 [1] TX queue size cannot be changed in VMs that use vhost-kernel Currently, you cannot set up TX queue size on KVM virtual machines (VMs) that use vhost-kernel as a back end for the virtio network driver. As a consequence, you can use only the default value of 256 for the TX queue, which might prevent you from optimizing your VM network throughput. Jira:RHEL-1138 [1] Virtual machines incorrectly report an AMD SRSO vulnerability RHEL 9.4 virtual machines (VMs) running on a RHEL 9 host with the AMD Zen 3 and 4 CPU architecture incorrectly report a vulnerability to a Speculative Return Stack Overflow (SRSO) attack: The problem is caused by a missing cpuid flag and the vulnerability is in fact fully mitigated in VMs under the following conditions: You have the updated linux-firmware package on the host as described here: cve-2023-20569 . The host kernel has the mitigation enabled, which is the default behavior. If the mitigation is enabled, Safe RET is displayed in the lscpu command output on the host. Jira:RHEL-26152 [1] Virtual machines with a large amount of vCPUs and virtual disks might fail Currently, assigning a large amount of vCPUs and virtual disks to a RHEL virtual machine (VM) might cause the VM to fail to boot. To work around this problem, use Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) virtual storage devices instead of block devices if possible. For more details, see: Creating SCSI-based storage pools with vHBA devices by using the CLI If you need to use virtual block devices, you can also try to reduce the number of interrupt vectors by starting the VM with a -global virtio-blk-pci.vectors= <number-of-vectors> QEMU option. Try to find a sufficiently low number of interrupt vectors that allows the VM to boot successfully. Jira:RHEL-32990 [1] Link status shows up on VM, even when status is down of e1000e or igb model interface Before booting the VM, set the status of Ethernet link down for the e1000 or igb model network interface. Despite this, after the VM boots, the network interface keeps the up status, because when you set the status of Ethernet link down and then stop and re-start the VM, it is automatically set back to up . Consequently, the correct state of network interface is not maintained. As a workaround, set the network interface status to down inside the VM by using command: Alternatively, you can try to remove and add this network interface again while the VM is running. Jira:RHEL-21867 Using NBD to migrate a VM storage over a TLS connection does not work correctly Currently, when migrating a virtual machine (VM) and its storage device by using the Network Block Device (NBD) protocol over a TLS connection, a data race in the TLS handshake might make the migration appear to be successful. However, it causes the QEMU process on the destination VM to become unresponsive to further interactions. If you can trust your network, you can work around this problem by using plaintext rather than TLS connections for the NBD protocol, which is used during the VM storage migration. Jira:RHEL-33440 Kdump fails on virtual machines with AMD SEV-SNP Currently, kdump fails on RHEL 9 virtual machines (VMs) that use the AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) with the Secure Nested Paging (SNP) feature. Jira:RHEL-10019 [1] VMs incorrectly report the vulnerable status for spec_rstack_overflow parameter on the AMD EPYC model When you boot a host, it does not detect any vulnerabilities in the spec_rstack_overflow parameter. After querying the parameter for logs, it displays the message: After booting a VM on the same host, the VM detects a vulnerability in the spec_rstack_overflow parameter. And when you query the parameter for logs, it displays the message: However, this is a false warning message, and you can ignore the status of the /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spec_rstack_overflow file inside the VM. Jira:RHEL-17614 [1] 11.17. RHEL in cloud environments Cloning or restoring RHEL 9 virtual machines that use LVM on Nutanix AHV causes non-root partitions to disappear When running a RHEL 9 guest operating system on a virtual machine (VM) hosted on the Nutanix AHV hypervisor, restoring the VM from a snapshot or cloning the VM currently causes non-root partitions in the VM to disappear if the guest is using Logical Volume Management (LVM). As a consequence, the following problems occur: After restoring the VM from a snapshot, the VM cannot boot, and instead enters emergency mode. A VM created by cloning cannot boot, and instead enters emergency mode. To work around these problems, do the following in emergency mode of the VM: Remove the LVM system devices file: rm /etc/lvm/devices/system.devices Re-create LVM device settings: vgimportdevices -a Reboot the VM This makes it possible for the cloned or restored VM to boot up correctly. Alternatively, to prevent the issue from occurring, do the following before cloning a VM or creating a VM snapshot: Uncomment the use_devicesfile = 0 line in the /etc/lvm/lvm.conf file Reboot the VM Bugzilla:2059545 [1] Customizing RHEL 9 guests on ESXi sometimes causes networking problems Currently, customizing a RHEL 9 guest operating system in the VMware ESXi hypervisor does not work correctly with NetworkManager key files. As a consequence, if the guest is using such a key file, it will have incorrect network settings, such as the IP address or the gateway. For details and workaround instructions, see the VMware Knowledge Base . Bugzilla:2037657 [1] RHEL instances on Azure fail to boot if provisioned by cloud-init and configured with an NFSv3 mount entry Currently, booting a RHEL virtual machine (VM) on the Microsoft Azure cloud platform fails if the VM was provisioned by the cloud-init tool and the guest operating system of the VM has an NFSv3 mount entry in the /etc/fstab file. Bugzilla:2081114 [1] Setting static IP in a RHEL virtual machine on a VMware host does not work Currently, when using RHEL as a guest operating system of a virtual machine (VM) on a VMware host, the DatasourceOVF function does not work correctly. As a consequence, if you use the cloud-init utility to set the VM's network to static IP and then reboot the VM, the VM's network will be changed to DHCP. To work around this issue, see the VMware Knowledge Base . Jira:RHEL-12122 Large VMs might fail to boot into the debug kernel when the kmemleak option is enabled When attempting to boot a RHEL 9 virtual machine (VM) into the debug kernel, the booting might fail with the following error if the machine kernel is using the kmemleak=on argument. This problem affects mainly large VMs because they spend more time in the boot sequence. To work around the problem, edit the /etc/fstab file on the machine and add extra timeout options to the /boot and /boot/efi mount points. For example: Jira:RHELDOCS-16979 [1] 11.18. Supportability Timeout when running sos report on IBM Power Systems, Little Endian When running the sos report command on IBM Power Systems, Little Endian with hundreds or thousands of CPUs, the processor plugin reaches its default timeout of 300 seconds when collecting huge content of the /sys/devices/system/cpu directory. As a workaround, increase the plugin's timeout accordingly: For one-time setting, run: For a permanent change, edit the [plugin_options] section of the /etc/sos/sos.conf file: The example value is set to 1800. The particular timeout value highly depends on a specific system. To set the plugin's timeout appropriately, you can first estimate the time needed to collect the one plugin with no timeout by running the following command: Bugzilla:1869561 [1] 11.19. Containers Running systemd within an older container image does not work Running systemd within an older container image, for example, centos:7 , does not work: To work around this problem, use the following commands: Jira:RHELPLAN-96940 [1] Root filesystem are not expanded by default When you use a base container image, that does not include cloud-init to create an AMI or QCOW2 container image by using bootc-image-builder , the root filesystem size is not expanded dynamically on boot to the full size of the provisioned virtual disk. To work around this issue, apply one of the following available options: Include cloud-init in the image. Include custom logic in the container image to expand the root filesystem, for example: Include a custom logic to use the additional space for secondary filesystems, for example, /var/lib/containers . Note By default, the physical root storage is mounted at the /sysroot partition. Jira:RHEL-33208
