Description of problem:
Add VDI format support from qemu-kvm
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qemu-kvm-1.5.2-3.el7.x86_64
libvirt-1.1.1-2.el7.x86_64
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Use qemu-img to create vdi disk.
qemu-img create -f vdi vdi.img 1G
Formatting 'vdi.img', fmt=vdi size=1073741824 static=off
# qemu-img info vdi.img
image: vdi.img
file format: vdi
virtual size: 1.0G (1073741824 bytes)
disk size: 8.0K
cluster_size: 1048576
2.Edit xml of guest test to add the below part:
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='vdi'/>
<source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/vdi.img'/>
<target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='1'/>
</disk>
3.Boot 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/3 (label charserial0)
qemu-kvm: -drive file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/vdi.img,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-1,format=vdi: 'vdi' invalid format
Actual results:
Can not boot guest with vdi disk.
Expected results:
Can boot guest with vdi disk.
Additional info:
I tried old version of qemu-kvm,it supports vdi disk,also there is bug 907530 to provide vdi disk support from libvirt.
libvirt-1.0.3-1.el7.x86_64
