RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-0.8.7-17.el6.x86_64.rpm
libvirt-0.8.7-7.el6.x86_64.rpm
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. edit guest xml with <smartcard mode='host'/> added
2. try to start guest
3.
Actual results:
# virsh start local
error: Failed to start domain local
error: unsupported configuration: this QEMU binary lacks smartcard host mode support
# virsh dumpxml local |grep smartcard
<smartcard mode='host'>
</smartcard>
Expected results:
Guest could be started successfully
Additional info:
tested in libvirt-0.8.7-7.el6.x86_64.rpm
the bug happens in the old version , too . So it is not a regression bug . But since we have the [Bug 641834] RFE: Spice / smartcard support , which is with 6.1.0 + flag . This bug must be the blocker bug to get this 641834 one verified . So set blocker as well . And set the severity and priority to URGENT and URGENT
# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -device ? |grep smartcard -i
name "usb-ccid", bus USB, desc "CCID Rev 1.1 smartcard reader"
name "ccid-card-passthru", bus ccid-bus, desc "passthrough smartcard"
So the only supported mode is passthrough . No host mode is available by now . So that is surely an unsupported QEMU feature . Libvirt did the correct thing .
Close this bug as NOTABUG
