Bug 870383

What's the message about guest failing to start when you use '[ipv6]'?  This probably needs to be fixed to allow both [::] and :: addresses and using (transforming) them correctly to different "backends".  How does it look with VNC instead of spice?

1.For spice guest with [::],error shows:
Error starting domain: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: ((null):3362): Spice-Warning **: reds.c:3032:reds_init_socket: getaddrinfo([::],5900): Name or service not known

2.For vnc guest with [::] in xml,error shows:
Error starting domain: internal error: early end of file from monitor: possible problem:
qemu-kvm: Failed to start VNC server on `[[::]]:0': error parsing IPv6 address '[[::]]:0'

I can reproduce this bug with:
virt-manager-0.9.0-19.el6.x86_64

Tested with:
virt-manager-0.9.0-20.el6.x86_64

Steps:
1. Prepare 2 hosts, make sure they can contact with each other through ipv6.
2. Select a hosts as a server and install a guest on it.
3. Modify the guest's xml, make sure its graphic device is listening to ::
4. Start the guest.
5. From the other host, add a qemu+ssh connection through ipv6 to the server.
6. Open console through virt-manager.

For spice guest:
If there is no guest running on localhost,the guest on remote host can not be launched,it just shows:Connecting to graphics console for guest.
If there is a guest with the same spice port on localhost,when try to launch guest on remote host,guest on localhost will be launched instead of guest on remote host.
Debug info:
2014-05-05 23:11:23,190 (console:1150): Starting connect process for proto=spice trans=ssh connhost=[3ffe connuser=root connport=:104] gaddr=:: gport=5900 gsocket=None

2014-05-05 23:11:23,323 (console:1061): Viewer connected

For vnc guest:
If there is no guest running on localhost,the guest on remote host can not be launched,it just shows:Error:viewer connection to hypervisor host got refused or disconnected!
If there is a guest with the same spice port on localhost,when try to launch guest on remote host,guest on localhost will be launched instead of guest on remote host.

Refer to the above comments,move the bug to ASSIGNED.

*** Bug 1094628 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Tested with:
libvirt-0.10.2-34.el6.x86_64
virt-manager-0.9.0-22.el6.x86_64
python-virtinst-0.600.0-21.el6.noarch

Steps:
1. Prepare 2 hosts, make sure they can contact with each other through ipv6.
2. Select a hosts as a server and install a guest on it.
3. Modify the guest's xml, make sure its graphic device is listening to ::
4. Start the guest.
5. From the other host, add a qemu+ssh connection through ipv6 to the server.Mare sure there is no guest running on localhost.
6. Open console through virt-manager,the console can be launched successfully.

The log for spice and vnc guests shows as below:
