Description Fangge Jin 2016-08-11 02:24:31 UTC
Description of problem:
Set graphics listen type to 'socket', start guest and do migration, after migration, the graphics type changed to 'address'.

The live xml before migration:
# virsh dumpxml rhel7.2
...
    <graphics type='vnc' socket='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/domain-24-rhel7.2/vnc.sock'>
      <listen type='socket' socket='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/domain-24-rhel7.2/vnc.sock'/>
    </graphics>

The migratable xml is:
# virsh dumpxml rhel7.2 --migratable
...
    <graphics type='vnc'/>

The live xml after migration:
# virsh dumpxml rhel7.2
...
    <graphics type='vnc' port='5900' autoport='yes' listen='127.0.0.1'>
      <listen type='address' address='127.0.0.1'/>
    </graphics>


Version-Release number of selected component:
libvirt-2.0.0-5.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set guest graphics type to vnc and listen type to socket
2. Start guest and do migration
3. Check graphics type after migration

Actual results:
After migration, the graphics type changed to 'address'.

Expected results:
After migration, the graphics type doesn't change.

I can reproduce this issue.
verify with build:
libvirt-3.2.0-3.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.9.0-1.el7.x86_64

step with bug description
after migration, check target guest xml
.....
<graphics type='vnc' socket='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/domain-8-rhel7/vnc.sock'>
      <listen type='socket' socket='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/domain-8-rhel7/vnc.sock'/>
    </graphics>
....
additional testing, add --persistent when do migrate, after migration complete,
destroy target guest and check xml:
....
<graphics type='vnc'>
      <listen type='socket'/>
    </graphics>
....
worked as expect, move to verified.
