Doc Text:
Using the remote-viewer console to connect to a remote guest machine on Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 4.0 in some cases failed because the state of the guest was not detected accurately. This update corrects a syntax error in the REST API that was causing this problem, and remote-viewer now opens the described guests more reliably.

Description Xiaodai Wang 2016-06-14 09:53:54 UTC 
Description of problem:
Wrong VM state get for vms in ovirt4.0

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libgovirt-0.3.3-2.el7.x86_64
virt-viewer-2.0-8.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Prepare a running vm in ovirt 4.0.
2. Got the ca file from ovirt 4.0.
$ wget -O 2.crt http://ibm-x3250m5-03.rhts.eng.pek2.redhat.com/ovirt-engine/services/pki-resource?resource=ca-certificate&format=X509-PEM-CA
3. Connect the vm by remote-viewer with ovirt uri.
$ remote-viewer --ovirt-ca-file=2.crt ovirt://ibm-x3250m5-03.rhts.eng.pek2.redhat.com/$your_vm

Actual results:
An error dialog with info "Couldn't open oVirt session: oVirt VM xiaodwan-test is not running" pops up.

Expected results:
remote-viewer should open the vm correctly.

Comment 2 Xiaodai Wang 2016-06-14 11:35:30 UTC 
The difference of rest api between 4.0 and 3.6:
for 4.0,   <status>up</status>
for 3.6, <status><state>up</state></status>

Comment 7 Christophe Fergeau 2016-06-16 10:23:34 UTC 
For now we can go with this upstream fix https://git.gnome.org/browse/libgovirt/commit/?id=948ce7168efa7c1fca5f1f6390f94191d709590b
More work will be needed for proper support of the new API.
Comment 8 Christophe Fergeau 2016-06-16 10:25:30 UTC 
We'll need to get this in 7.2.z too.
