Description of problem:
libguestfs could not connect to libvirt and inject root password
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
OSP13
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Creating instance
2.
3.
We were able to bypass this by telling libguestfs not to use libvirt
Actual results:
Expected results:
Should be able to spawn an instance which nova generates the password
Additional info:
Workaround:
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/nova/virt/disk/vfs/guestfs.py
def inspect_capabilities(self): (around #87)
g.set_backend('direct')
g.launch()
def setup(self, mount=True)): (around #227)
self.handle.set_backend('direct')
self.handle.launch()
This is not a good solution but customer is happy at least we have a way to define the root password.
I really think this is the problem with running Libvirt as root on qemu:///system.
