Description John Wiebalk 2014-04-30 15:05:16 UTC 
Description of problem:
I am attempting to use virsh/libvirt/phyp to connect to one of our hmc's. Connection is accepting password but then hangs, when I press enter or type list and enter it says:

error: no valid connection
error: this function is not supported by the connection driver: virConnectSetKeepAlive

Segmentation fault: 11


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):1.2.4RC2


How reproducible:Everytime I try to connect to any HMC with any user.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. virsh -c phyp://[user]@[hmc]/[managed system]
2. enter password
3. hangs
4. press enter or "list" then enter
5. seg faults

Actual results:


error: no valid connection
error: this function is not supported by the connection driver: virConnectSetKeepAlive

Segmentation fault: 11


Expected results:

opens connection and allows me to list

I tried it using another managed system (the first one was in standby) here are the results of that:


2014-04-30 15:30:06.963+0000: 18446744073709551615: info : libvirt version: 1.2.4

error: failed to connect to the hypervisor

Comment 4 John Wiebalk 2014-04-30 15:39:53 UTC 
Heres what's happening on the HMC:

Apr 30 11:36:50 hmcXXXXXXX sshd[5669]:   user *myusername* is type LDAP_USER
Apr 30 11:36:50 hmcXXXXXXX sshd[5669]: pam_unix_session(sshd:session): session opened for user *myusername* by (uid=0)
Apr 30 11:36:50 hmcXXXXXXX sshd[5669]: pam_hsc open session.
Apr 30 11:39:19 hmcXXXXXXX sshd[5669]: pam_unix_session(sshd:session): session closed for user *myusername*


I left virsh hanging for that time period, it wasn't until I hit enter is when it closed the connection and gave my the UUID error.

Sorry this never received a response. Unfortunately the phyp driver is not materially maintained upstream these days, so unless someone provides a patch I doubt this will be fixed. Closing as DEFERRED since this bug isn't going to accomplish much
