Description Petr Sklenar 2010-11-23 10:22:54 UTC

Description of problem:
libvirt should be installed and restarted on rhel6 host connected to sat540 when you check virtualization entitlement.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sat540 + rhel6 host

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. have a machine installed with @base - there is no kvm, libvirt package
2. add virtualization entitlement
3. rhn_check on client 
4. create ks for virt guest and pick up this action on client
  
Actual results:
libvirt is missing

Expected results:
Installation of virt guest should start successfully.

libvirt is in dependency of rhn-virtualization and libvirtd is restarted.
kvm/qemu is also installed on client and it should be in dependencies.

Comment 2 Miroslav Suchý 2011-01-05 11:06:05 UTC

Fixed in spacewalk.git as commit 0dc5b782d49fb286cb396a56a2682946b2f46b28
This change is for all system but RHEL5, where it will break RHEV. But there is no such problem anyway.

Additionally, after discussion with mzazrivec and jpazdziora I scratched the idea to have libvirtd (re)started after installation of rhn-virtualization-host. We never done it, and customers do not expect it.

We may change it in future if customer will request it or PM will specify this as new feature.

cherrypicked to satellite.git as commit 0f78b33db24d118988c4407e9571ae81459ef3e6

Comment 7 Giulio Fidente 2011-04-29 09:33:52 UTC

the solution provided with the errata introduces a problem where the RHEL5 hosts running as RHEV hypervisors gets libvirt installed by dependency, when they should not as this prevents vdsmd from starting at reboot

Comment 8 Miroslav Suchý 2011-04-29 11:34:53 UTC

Once bugzilla has assigned errata, which is released it should not be reopen. Please create new BZ, or clone this one to new.
I'm closing it again.

And btw - rhn-virtualization require libvirt only in RHEL6. It does *not* require it on RHEL5.

Comment 9 Giulio Fidente 2011-05-03 13:43:47 UTC

please excuse me for reopening the bug report, in comment #6 there was a line saying "You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you.", that's why I did it

btw, the problem is that I _do_ get libvirt installed by dependency even on RHEL5, where it can cause conflicts with vdsmd if that is installed

yum install rhn-virtualization-host

tries to install:

rhn-virtualization-host 5.4.14-3.el5sat

which for some reasons brings in:

libvirt 0.8.2-15.el5_6.4
