This request was not resolved in time for the current release. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development. This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4. Honestly tracking these hypervisor bits in the UI is kind of a pain, and tend to become incorrect over time. I'm fine with just letting this fail if the user tries to start a VM like that. |
Description of problem: Customer can check on the Readonly option for IDE disk through virt-manager, but qemu-kvm do not support it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-manager-0.9.0-14.el6.x86_64 qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.292.el6.x86_64 libvirt-0.9.10-20.el6.x86_64 # uname -a Linux daisy.redhat.com 2.6.32-270.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 8 21:44:43 EDT 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Prepare one normal guest. 2.Add the second IDE disk on the guest through virt-manager. #virsh dumpxml test ... </disk> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none'/> <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/disk3.img'/> <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/> </disk> ... 3.Check on the Readonly option for the second IDE disk and click Apply button. 4.Start the guest. # virsh start test error: Failed to start domain test error: internal error process exited while connecting to monitor: char device redirected to /dev/pts/13 qemu-kvm: -device ide-drive,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-0-0,id=ide0-0-0: Can't use a read-only drive qemu-kvm: -device ide-drive,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-0-0,id=ide0-0-0: Device 'ide-drive' could not be initialized Actually results: Above as. Expected results: Hide the Readonly option only for IDE disk. Additional info: It will cause some confusion, if the customer can check on this option ,but can not use it.
