Description Andrea Bolognani 2016-05-10 16:26:49 UTC

Right now, a guest will get whatever GIC version libvirt picks as the default.

virt-install and virt-manager should implement a way for the user to choose a specific GIC versions among those listed as usable in the domain capabilities.

    virt-install: add a new guest feature GIC for ARM guests

Comment 5 Pavel Hrdina 2016-09-13 10:37:17 UTC

1. Execute this virt-install command:

    virt-install --print-xml --dry-run --name gic-test --memory 1024 --disk none --feature gic_version=2

2. The printed xml contains gic version:

  ...
  <features>
    ...
    <gic version="2"/>
    ...
  </features>
  ...

This bug is resolved and can be moved to verified.
