Description Cole Robinson 2010-06-14 17:48:23 UTC

virtinst contains the logic to check if libvirt supports the findStoragePoolSources API. This check is currently broken though, which reduces the usefulness of virt-manager's CreatePool wizard.

After this fix, the CreatePool wizard should enumerate existing logical volume groups, NFS shares (when a hostname is entered), and SCSI sources.

Fixed upstream here:

Verified PASSED with python-virtinst-0.500.3-5.el6 and virt-manager-0.8.4-6.el6.
The CreatePool wizard can enumerate existing logical volume groups, NFS shares, and SCSI sources successfully.
