Description of problem:
connect to a listening VNC client via a "reverse" connection, the client is specified by the display, but "info vnc" cann't get the vnc server status in the monitor.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# uname -r && rpm -q qemu-kvm
2.6.32-262.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.275.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.launch a listening vnc on host A by:
# vncviewer -listen 7000
2.launch qemu-kvm process and try to connect to the listening vnc on host B by:
...-vnc ${ip_of_host_A's}:7000,"reverse"
3.run "info vnc" in the monitor.
(qemu) info vnc

Actual results:
after the step 3, "info vnc" cann't get the vnc server status.

Expected results:
"info vnc" can get the vnc server status in the monitor.

corner case, not critical, deferring to rhel6.4

Comment 3 Luiz Capitulino 2012-04-26 18:10:19 UTC
This is more like a missing feature than a bug. Also, HMP is not supported in RHEL, so the only reason to implement this as a RHEL feature would be a real need from one of our stack's components (vs. "this is nice to the end user").

I'd close this as WONTFIX, but I'll let Ademar decide.

PS: You're welcome to report this upstream.

Comment 4 Ademar Reis 2012-04-27 00:18:48 UTC
Closing as wontfix. It will get to RHEL7 automatically if fixed upstream on time, but we won't focus on it for now.
