tested with following 4 kinds of libvirt supported sections:
[Scenario 1]
<smartcard mode='host'/>
# virsh start local
error: Failed to start domain local
error: unsupported configuration: this QEMU binary lacks smartcard host mode support
[Scenario 2]
<smartcard mode='host-certificates'>
<certificate>cert1</certificate>
<certificate>cert2</certificate>
<certificate>cert3</certificate>
<database>/etc/pki/nssdb/</database>
</smartcard>
# virsh start local
error: Failed to start domain local
error: unsupported configuration: this QEMU binary lacks smartcard host mode support
[Scenario 3]
<smartcard mode='passthrough' type='tcp'>
<source mode='bind' host='127.0.0.1' service='2001'/>
<protocol type='raw'/>
<address type='ccid' controller='0' slot='0'/>
</smartcard>
# virsh start local
Domain local started
[Scenario 4]
<smartcard mode='passthrough' type='spicevmc'/>
# virsh start local
Domain local started
# /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 |
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
