Chapter 10. Deprecated functionalities
Deprecated devices are fully supported, which means that they are tested and maintained, and their support status remains unchanged within Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. However, these devices will likely not be supported in the next major version release, and are not recommended for new deployments on the current or future major versions of RHEL.
For the most recent list of deprecated functionality within a particular major release, see the latest version of release documentation. For information about the length of support, see Red Hat Enterprise Linux Life Cycle and Red Hat Enterprise Linux Application Streams Life Cycle.
A package can be deprecated and not recommended for further use. Under certain circumstances, a package can be removed from the product. Product documentation then identifies more recent packages that offer functionality similar, identical, or more advanced to the one deprecated, and provides further recommendations.
For information regarding functionality that is present in RHEL 8 but has been removed in RHEL 9, see Considerations in adopting RHEL 9.
10.1. Installer and image creation
Deprecated Kickstart commands
The following Kickstart commands have been deprecated:
-
timezone --ntpservers
-
timezone --nontp
-
logging --level
-
%packages --excludeWeakdeps
-
%packages --instLangs
-
%anaconda
-
pwpolicy
-
nvdimm
Note that where only specific options are listed, the base command and its other options are still available and not deprecated. Using the deprecated commands in Kickstart files prints a warning in the logs. You can turn the deprecated command warnings into errors with the inst.ksstrict
boot option.
Bugzilla:1899167[1]
SHA-1
in OpenDNSSec is now deprecated
OpenDNSSec supports exporting Digital Signatures and authentication records using the SHA-1
algorithm. The use of the SHA-1
algorithm is no longer supported. With the RHEL 9 release, SHA-1
in OpenDNSSec is deprecated and it might be removed in a future minor release. Additionally, OpenDNSSec support is limited to its integration with Red Hat Identity Management. OpenDNSSec is not supported standalone.
The initial-setup
package now has been deprecated
The initial-setup
package has been deprecated in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.3 and will be removed in the next major RHEL release. As a replacement, use gnome-initial-setup
for the graphical user interface.
Jira:RHELDOCS-16393[1]
The provider_hostip
and provider_fedora_geoip
values of the inst.geoloc
boot option are deprecated
The provider_hostip
and provider_fedora_geoip
values that specified the GeoIP API for the inst.geoloc=
boot option are deprecated. As a replacement, you can use the geolocation_provider=URL
option to set the required geolocation in the installation program configuration file. You can still use the inst.geoloc=0
option to disable the geolocation.
Capturing screenshots from the Anaconda GUI with a global hotkey is deprecated
Previously, users could capture screenshots of the Anaconda GUI by using a global hotkey. This meant that users could extract the screenshots manually from the installation environment for any further usage. This functionality has been deprecated.
Jira:RHELDOCS-17166[1]
Anaconda built-in help has been deprecated
The built-in documentation from spokes and hubs of all Anaconda user interfaces, which is available during Anaconda installation, has been deprecated. As a replacement, the Anaconda user interfaces will be self-descriptive and users can refer to the official RHEL documentation in the future major RHEL release.
Jira:RHELDOCS-17309[1]
Support for NVDIMM devices has been deprecated
Previously, the installation program allowed reconfiguring NVDIMM devices during installation. This support for NVDIMM devices during the Kickstart and GUI installation has been deprecated, and will be removed in the next major RHEL release. The NVDIMM devices in the sector mode will still be visible and usable in the installation program.
Unable to load an updated driver from the driver update disc in the installation environment
A new version of a driver from the driver update disc might not load if the same driver from the installation initial ramdisk has already been loaded. As a consequence, an updated version of the driver cannot be applied to the installation environment.
As a workaround, use the modprobe.blacklist=
kernel command line option together with the inst.dd
option. For example, to ensure that an updated version of the virtio_blk
driver from a driver update disc is loaded, use modprobe.blacklist=virtio_blk
and then continue with the usual procedure to apply drivers from the driver update disk. As a result, the system can load an updated version of the driver and use it in the installation environment.
10.2. Security
OVAL deprecated in vulnerability scanning applications
The Open Vulnerability Assessment Language (OVAL) data format, which provides declarative security data processed by the OpenSCAP suite, is deprecated and will be removed in a future major release. Red Hat continues to provide declarative security data in the Common Security Advisory Framework (CSAF) format, which is the successor of OVAL.
Jira:RHELDOCS-17532[1]
libgcrypt
is deprecated
The Libgcrypt cryptographic library provided by the libgcrypt
package is deprecated and may be removed in a future major release. Instead, use the libraries listed in the RHEL core cryptographic components article (Red Hat Knowledgebase).
Jira:RHELDOCS-17508[1]
fips-mode-setup
is deprecated
The fips-mode-setup
tool, which switches the system to FIPS mode, is deprecated in RHEL 9. You can still use the fips-mode-setup
command to check whether FIPS mode is enabled.
To operate a system compliant with FIPS 140, install a system in FIPS mode in one of the following ways:
-
Add the
fips=1
option to the kernel command line during the RHEL installation. See the Editing boot options chapter in the Boot options for RHEL Installer document for more information. -
Create a FIPS-enabled image with RHEL image builder by adding the
fips=yes
directive to the[customizations]
section of its blueprint. -
Create a disk image with the
bootc-image-builder
tool or install the system by using thebootc install-to-disk
tool with a Containerfile that follows the example in the Using image mode for RHEL document to add thefips=1
kernel command line flag and switch the system-wide cryptographic policy toFIPS
.
The fips-mode-setup
tool will be removed in the next major release.
Using update-ca-trust
without arguments is deprecated
Previously, the command update-ca-trust
updated the system certificate authority (CA) store regardless of the arguments entered. This update introduces the extract
subcommand for updating the CA store. You can also specify the location to which the CA certificates are extracted by using the --output
argument. For compatibility with earlier versions of RHEL, entering update-ca-trust
to update the CA store with any argument other than -o
or --help
, and even without any argument, is still supported for the duration of RHEL 9, but will be removed by the next major release. Update your calls to update-ca-trust extract
.
Jira:RHEL-54695[1]
CAfile
pointing to trusted root certificate files in Stunnel clients is deprecated
If Stunnel is configured in client mode, the CAfile
directive can point to a file that contains trusted root certificates in the BEGIN TRUSTED CERTIFICATE
format. This method is deprecated and might be removed in a future major version. In a future version, stunnel
will pass the value of the CAfile
directive to a function that does not support the BEGIN TRUSTED CERTIFICATE
format. As a consequence, if you use CAfile = /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.trust.crt
, change the location to CAfile = /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
.
Jira:RHEL-52317[1]
DSA and SEED algorithms have been deprecated in NSS
The Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA), which was created by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and is now completely deprecated by NIST, is deprecated in the Network Security Services (NSS) cryptographic library. You can instead use algorithms such as RSA, ECDSA, SHB-DSA, ML-DSA, and FN-DSA.
The SEED algorithm, which was created by the Korea Information Security Agency (KISA) and has been previously disabled upstream, is deprecated in the NSS cryptographic library.
Jira:RHELDOCS-19004[1]
pam_ssh_agent_auth
is deprecated
The pam_ssh_agent_auth
package is deprecated and might be removed in a future major release.
Jira:RHELDOCS-18312[1]
compat-openssl11
is deprecated
The compatibility library for OpenSSL 1.1, compat-openssl11
, is now deprecated, and it might be removed in a future major release. OpenSSL 1.1 is no longer maintained upstream and applications that use the OpenSSL TLS toolkit should be migrated to version 3.x.
Jira:RHELDOCS-18480[1]
SHA-1 is deprecated at SECLEVEL=2
in OpenSSL
The use of the SHA-1 algorithm at SECLEVEL=2
is deprecated in OpenSSL and might be removed in a future major release.
Jira:RHELDOCS-18701[1]
OpenSSL Engines API is deprecated in Stunnel
The use of the OpenSSL Engines API in Stunnel is deprecated and will be removed in a future major release. The most common use is to access hardware security tokens that use PKCS#11 through the openssl-pkcs11
package. As a replacement, you can use pkcs11-provider
, which uses the new OpenSSL Providers API.
Jira:RHELDOCS-18702[1]
OpenSSL Engines are deprecated
OpenSSL Engines are deprecated and will be removed in the near future. Instead of using engines, you can use the pkcs11-provider
as a replacement.
Jira:RHELDOCS-18703[1]
DSA is deprecated in GnuTLS
The Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) is deprecated in the GnuTLS secure communications library and will be removed in a future major version of RHEL. DSA was previously deprecated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and is not considered secure. You can use ECDSA instead to ensure compatibility with future versions.
Jira:RHELDOCS-19224[1]
scap-workbench
is deprecated
The scap-workbench
package is deprecated. The scap-workbench
graphical utility was designed to perform configuration and vulnerability scans on a single local or remote system. As an alternative, you can scan local systems for configuration compliance by using the oscap
command and remote systems by using the oscap-ssh
command. For more information, see Configuration compliance scanning.
Jira:RHELDOCS-19028[1]
oscap-anaconda-addon
is deprecated
The oscap-anaconda-addon
, which provided means to deploy baseline-compliant RHEL systems by using the graphical installation, is deprecated. As an alternative, you can build RHEL images that comply with a specific standard by Creating pre-hardened images with RHEL image builder OpenSCAP integration.
Jira:RHELDOCS-19029[1]
SHA-1 is deprecated for cryptographic purposes
The usage of the SHA-1 message digest for cryptographic purposes has been deprecated in RHEL 9. The digest produced by SHA-1 is not considered secure because of many documented successful attacks based on finding hash collisions. The RHEL core crypto components no longer create signatures using SHA-1 by default. Applications in RHEL 9 have been updated to avoid using SHA-1 in security-relevant use cases.
Among the exceptions, the HMAC-SHA1 message authentication code and the Universal Unique Identifier (UUID) values can still be created using SHA-1 because these use cases do not currently pose security risks. SHA-1 also can be used in limited cases connected with important interoperability and compatibility concerns, such as Kerberos and WPA-2. See the List of RHEL applications using cryptography that is not compliant with FIPS 140-3 section in the RHEL 9 Security hardening document for more details.
If your scenario requires the use of SHA-1 for verifying existing or third-party cryptographic signatures, you can enable it by entering the following command:
# update-crypto-policies --set DEFAULT:SHA1
Alternatively, you can switch the system-wide crypto policies to the LEGACY
policy. Note that LEGACY
also enables many other algorithms that are not secure.
Jira:RHELPLAN-110763[1]
fapolicyd.rules
is deprecated
The /etc/fapolicyd/rules.d/
directory for files containing allow and deny execution rules replaces the /etc/fapolicyd/fapolicyd.rules
file. The fagenrules
script now merges all component rule files in this directory to the /etc/fapolicyd/compiled.rules
file. Rules in /etc/fapolicyd/fapolicyd.trust
are still processed by the fapolicyd
framework but only for ensuring backward compatibility.
SCP is deprecated in RHEL 9
The secure copy protocol (SCP) is deprecated because it has known security vulnerabilities. The SCP API remains available for the RHEL 9 lifecycle but using it reduces system security.
-
In the
scp
utility, SCP is replaced by the SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) by default. - The OpenSSH suite does not use SCP in RHEL 9.
-
SCP is deprecated in the
libssh
library.
Jira:RHELPLAN-99136[1]
OpenSSL requires padding for RSA encryption in FIPS mode
OpenSSL no longer supports RSA encryption without padding in FIPS mode. RSA encryption without padding is uncommon and is rarely used. Note that key encapsulation with RSA (RSASVE) does not use padding but is still supported.
OpenSSL deprecates the Engines API
The OpenSSL 3.0 TLS toolkit deprecated the Engines API. The Engines interface is superseded by the Providers API. The migration of applications and existing engines to Providers is underway. The deprecated Engines API may be removed in a future major release.
Jira:RHELDOCS-17958[1]
openssl-pkcs11
is now deprecated
As a part of the ongoing migration of deprecated OpenSSL engines to the Providers API, the pkcs11-provider
package replaces the openssl-pkcs11
package (engine_pkcs11
). The openssl-pkcs11
package is now deprecated. The openssl-pkcs11
package may be removed in a future major release.
Jira:RHELDOCS-16716[1]
RHEL 8 and 9 OpenSSL certificate and signing containers are now deprecated
The OpenSSL portable certificate and signing containers available in the ubi8/openssl
and ubi9/openssl
repositories in the Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog are now deprecated due to low demand.
Jira:RHELDOCS-17974[1]
Digest-MD5 in SASL is deprecated
The Digest-MD5 authentication mechanism in the Simple Authentication Security Layer (SASL) framework is deprecated, and it might be removed from the cyrus-sasl
packages in a future major release.
Bugzilla:1995600[1]
/etc/system-fips
is now deprecated
Support for indicating FIPS mode through the /etc/system-fips
file has been removed, and the file will not be included in future versions of RHEL. To install RHEL in FIPS mode, add the fips=1
parameter to the kernel command line during the system installation. You can check whether RHEL operates in FIPS mode by displaying the /proc/sys/crypto/fips_enabled
file.
Jira:RHELPLAN-103232[1]
libcrypt.so.1
is now deprecated
The libcrypt.so.1
library is now deprecated, and it might be removed in a future version of RHEL.
10.3. Subscription management
Several subscription-manager
modules have been deprecated
Because of a simplified customer experience in Red Hat subscription services, which have transitioned to the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console and to account level subscription management with Simple Content Access, the following modules have been deprecated and will be removed in a future major release:
-
addons
-
attach
-
auto-attach
-
import
-
remove
-
redeem
-
role
-
service-level
-
syspurpose addons
-

For more information about these transitions, see the Transition of Red Hat’s subscription services to the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console article.
The deprecated --token
option of subscription-manager register
will stop working at the end of November 2024
The deprecated --token=<TOKEN>
option of the subscription-manager register
command will no longer be a supported authentication method from the end of November 2024. The default entitlement server, subscription.rhsm.redhat.com
, will no longer be allowing token-based authentication. As a consequence, if you use subscription-manager register --token=<TOKEN>
, the registration will fail with the following error message:
Token authentication not supported by the entitlement server
To register your system, use other supported authorization methods, such as including paired options --username / --password
OR --org / --activationkey
with the subscription-manager register
command.
10.4. Software management
The DNF debug
plug-in has been deprecated
The DNF debug
plug-in, which includes the dnf debug-dump
and dnf debug-restore
commands, has been deprecated and will be removed from the dnf-plugins-core
package in the next major RHEL release.
Jira:RHELDOCS-18592[1]

10.5. Shells and command-line tools
The perl(Mail::Sender)
module is now deprecated
The perl(Mail::Sender)
module is now deprecated and will be removed from the next major release without any replacement. As a result, the checkbandwidth
script from net-snmp-perl
package does not support email alerts when bandwidth high/low levels for a host or interface are reached.
Jira:RHELDOCS-18959[1]
The dump
utility from the dump
package has been deprecated
The dump
utility used for backup of file systems has been deprecated and will not be available in RHEL 9.
In RHEL 9, Red Hat recommends using the tar
, dd
, or bacula
, backup utility, based on type of usage, which provides full and safe backups on ext2, ext3, and ext4 file systems.
Note that the restore
utility from the dump
package remains available and supported in RHEL 9 and is available as the restore
package.
Bugzilla:1997366[1]
The SQLite database backend in Bacula has been deprecated
The Bacula backup system supported multiple database backends: PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite. The SQLite backend has been deprecated and will become unsupported in a later release of RHEL. As a replacement, migrate to one of the other backends (PostgreSQL or MySQL) and do not use the SQLite backend in new deployments.
The %vmeff
metric from the sysstat
package has been deprecated
The %vmeff
metric from the sysstat
package to measure the page reclaim efficiency will no longer be supported in a future major version of RHEL. 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.
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:RHELDOCS-17015[1]
Setting the TMPDIR
variable in the ReaR configuration file is deprecated
Setting the TMPDIR
environment variable in the /etc/rear/local.conf
or /etc/rear/site.conf
ReaR configuration file), by using a statement such as export TMPDIR=…
, is deprecated.
To specify a custom directory for ReaR temporary files, export the variable in the shell environment before executing ReaR. For example, execute the export TMPDIR=…
statement and then execute the rear
command in the same shell session or script.
Jira:RHELDOCS-18049[1]
cgroupsv1
is now deprecated in RHEL 9
The cgroups
is a kernel subsystem used for process tracking, system resource allocation and partitioning. Systemd service manager supports booting in the cgroups v1
mode as well as in cgroups v2
mode. In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9, the default mode is v2
. In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10, systemd will not support booting in the cgroups v1
mode and only cgroups v2
mode will be available.
Jira:RHELDOCS-17545[1]
10.6. Infrastructure services
Client-side and server-side DHCP packages are deprecated
Internet Systems Consortium (ISC) has announced the end of maintenance for ISC DHCP as of the end of 2022. As a result, Red Hat has decided to deprecate the use of client-side and server-side DHCP packages in RHEL 9 and not to distribute them in later major versions of RHEL. Customers must prepare for the transition to available alternatives, such as dhcpcd
and ISC Kea
.
Jira:RHELDOCS-17135[1]
Various packages are now deprecated in infrastructure services
The following packages are deprecated in RHEL 9 and will not be distributed in later major versions of RHEL:
-
sendmail
-
libotr

dhcp
-
xsane
Jira:RHEL-22385[1]
10.7. Networking
The Soft-iWARP driver is deprecated
RHEL 9 provides the Soft-iWARP driver as an unsupported Technology Preview. Starting with RHEL 9.5, this driver is deprecated and will be removed in RHEL 10.
Jira:RHELDOCS-18699[1]
The dhcp-client
package is deprecated
Previously, you could configure NetworkManager in RHEL 9 to use a DHCP client from the dhcp-client
package. However, the option to use the dhclient
utility is now deprecated and results in a warning being displayed at the NetworkManager startup. To configure NetworkManager as described above, switch to the internal DHCP library. In RHEL 10, the dhcp-client
package is no longer available and the applications configured to use the dhclient
utility use the internal DHCP library instead.
Network teams are deprecated in RHEL 9
The teamd
service and the libteam
library are deprecated in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 and will be removed in the next major release. As a replacement, configure a bond instead of a network team.
Red Hat focuses its efforts on kernel-based bonding to avoid maintaining two features, bonds and teams, that have similar functions. The bonding code has a high customer adoption, is robust, and has an active community development. As a result, the bonding code receives enhancements and updates.
For details about how to migrate a team to a bond, see Migrating a network team configuration to network bond.
Bugzilla:1935544[1]
NetworkManager connection profiles in ifcfg
format are deprecated
In RHEL 9.0 and later, connection profiles in ifcfg
format are deprecated. The next major RHEL release will remove the support for this format. However, in RHEL 9, NetworkManager still processes and updates existing profiles in this format if you modify them.
By default, NetworkManager now stores connection profiles in keyfile format in the /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/
directory. Unlike the ifcfg
format, the keyfile format supports all connection settings that NetworkManager provides. For further details about the keyfile format and how to migrate profiles, see NetworkManager connection profiles in keyfile format.
Bugzilla:1894877[1]
The iptables
back end in firewalld
is deprecated
In RHEL 9, the iptables
framework is deprecated. As a consequence, the iptables
backend and the direct interface
in firewalld
are also deprecated. Instead of the direct interface
you can use the native features in firewalld
to configure the required rules.
The firewalld
lockdown feature is deprecated.
The lockdown feature in firewalld
is deprecated because it cannot prevent processes that are running as root
from adding themselves to the allow list. The lockdown feature may be removed in a future major RHEL release.
The connection.master
, connection.slave-type
, and connection.autoconnect-slaves
properties are deprecated
Red Hat is committed to using conscious language. For details about this initiative, see Making open source more inclusive. Therefore, the connection.master
, connection.slave-type
, and connection.autoconnect-slaves
properties were renamed. To ensure backward compatibility, aliases have been created that map the old property names to the new ones:
-
connection.master
is an alias forconnection.controller
-
connection.slave-type
is an alias forconnection.port-type
-
connection.autoconnect-slaves
is an alias forconnection.autoconnect-ports
Note that the connection.master
, connection.slave-type
, and connection.autoconnect-slaves
aliases are deprecated and will be removed in a future RHEL version.
Jira:RHEL-17619[1]
The PF_KEYv2
kernel API is deprecated
Applications can configure the kernel’s IPsec implementation by using the PV_KEYv2
and the newer netlink
API. PV_KEYv2
is not actively maintained upstream and misses important security features, such as modern ciphers, offload, and extended sequence number support. As a result, starting with RHEL 9.3, the PV_KEYv2
API is deprecated and will be removed in the next major RHEL release. If you use this kernel API in your application, migrate it to use the modern netlink
API as an alternative.
Jira:RHEL-1015[1]
Network teams are deprecated in RHEL 9
The teamd
service and the libteam
library are deprecated in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 and will be removed in the next major release. As a replacement, configure a bond instead of a network team.

10.8. Kernel
ATM encapsulation is deprecated in RHEL 9
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) encapsulation enables Layer-2 (Point-to-Point Protocol, Ethernet) or Layer-3 (IP) connectivity for the ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL-5). Red Hat has not been providing support for ATM NIC drivers since RHEL 7. The support for ATM implementation is being dropped in RHEL 9. These protocols are currently used only in chipsets, which support the ADSL technology and are being phased out by manufacturers. Therefore, ATM encapsulation is deprecated in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.
For more information, see PPP Over AAL5, Multiprotocol Encapsulation over ATM Adaptation Layer 5, and Classical IP and ARP over ATM.
The kexec_load
system call for kexec-tools
has been deprecated
The kexec_load
system call, which loads the second kernel, will not be supported in future RHEL releases. The kexec_file_load
system call replaces kexec_load
and is now the default system call on all architectures.

10.18. Virtualization
NIC device drivers related to iPXE are deprecated in RHEL 9
Internet Preboot eXecution Environment (iPXE) firmware provides a range of boot options over a network often used in environments, where machines need to boot remotely. Among others, it contains a large number of device drivers. The following have been marked as deprecated and will be removed in the RHEL 10 release:
-
The complete
ipxe-roms
sub-RPM package Binary files containing device drivers from
ipxe-bootimgs-x86
sub-RPM package:-
/usr/share/ipxe/ipxe-i386.efi
-
/usr/share/ipxe/ipxe-x86_64.efi
-
/usr/share/ipxe/ipxe.dsk
-
/usr/share/ipxe/ipxe.iso
-
/usr/share/ipxe/ipxe.lkrn
-
/usr/share/ipxe/ipxe.usb
-
Instead, iPXE now depends on the platform firmware to provide a NIC driver for the network boot. The /usr/share/ipxe/ipxe-snponly-x86_64.efi
and /usr/share/ipxe/undionly.kpxe
iPXE binary files are the part of the ipxe-bootimgs
package and use the NIC driver provided by the platform firmware.

qcow2-v2 image format is deprecated
With RHEL 9, the qcow2-v2 format for virtual disk images has become deprecated, and will become unsupported in a future major release of RHEL. In addition, the RHEL 9 Image Builder cannot create disk images in the qcow2-v2 format.
Instead of qcow2-v2, Red Hat strongly recommends using qcow2-v3. To convert a qcow2-v2 image to a later format version, use the qemu-img amend
command.
virt-manager
has been deprecated
The Virtual Machine Manager application, also known as virt-manager
, has been deprecated. The RHEL web console, also known as Cockpit
, is intended to become its replacement in a subsequent release. It is, therefore, recommended that you use the web console for managing virtualization in a GUI. Note, however, that some features available in virt-manager
might not be yet available in the RHEL web console.
Jira:RHELPLAN-10304[1]
libvirtd
has become deprecated
The monolithic libvirt
daemon, libvirtd
, has been deprecated in RHEL 9, and will be removed in a future major release of RHEL. Note that you can still use libvirtd

- For AMD: models before AMD Opteron G4
- For IBM Z: models before IBM z14
To check whether your VM is using a deprecated CPU model, use the virsh dominfo
utility, and look for a line similar to the following in the Messages
section:
tainted: use of deprecated configuration settings deprecated configuration: CPU model 'i486'
RDMA-based live migration is deprecated
With this update, migrating running virtual machines using Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) has become deprecated. As a result, it is still possible to use the rdma://
migration URI to request migration over RDMA, but this feature will become unsupported in a future major release of RHEL.
Jira:RHELPLAN-153267[1]
The Intel vGPU feature has been removed
Previously, as a Technology Preview, it was possible to divide a physical Intel GPU device into multiple virtual devices referred to as mediated devices
. These mediated devices could then be assigned to multiple virtual machines (VMs) as virtual GPUs. As a result, these VMs shared the performance of a single physical Intel GPU, however only selected Intel GPUs were compatible with this feature.
Since RHEL 9.3, the Intel vGPU feature has been removed entirely.
Bugzilla:2206599[1]
pmem device passthrough has become deprecated
With this update, the non-volatile memory library (nvml
) packages have become deprecated, and will be removed in a future major version of RHEL. As a consequence, when the package removal occurs, it will no longer be possible to pass persistent memory (pmem
) devices to the virtual machines (VMs). Note that emulated NVDIMM devices backed by volatile memory or files will still be available, but will not be possible to configure as persistent.
Using Windows Server 2012 or Windows 8 as a guest operating system is not supported
Because Microsoft ended support for the following versions of Windows, Red Hat also removed support for using these versions as a guest operating system in this update.
- Windows 8
