Description David Gibson 2015-09-04 06:55:23 UTC

Description of problem:

virt-manager tries to create a vmport (VMWare compatibility) device in a VM which doesn't use Spice, even if it is a non-x86 guest running on a non-x86 hypervisor which therefore can't support vmport.

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

(virt manager host)

virt-manager-1.2.1-2.fc22.noarch
libvirt-1.2.13.1-2.fc22.x86_64

(remote hypervisor)

libvirt-daemon-1.2.17-7.el7.ppc64le
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.3.0-21.el7.ppc64le

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. On an x86 machine add a virt-manager backend connecting to libvirt on a POWER8 server
2. Attempt to create new VM on the Power host
3. Deconfigure SPICE on the VM (since Spice is not supported on Power qemu)

Actual results:

VM creation fails with an error indicating that the qemu version doesn't support vmport.

Expected results:

VM is created and runs correctly.
