Description zhengqin 2013-10-25 10:23:00 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1023366 +++

Description
For non-root user, when executing commands "virsh blkiotune <domainVM>" or "virsh schedinfo <domainVM>", error will occurs but error message is not clear.


Version:
virt-manager-0.10.0-4.el7.noarch
libvirt-1.1.1-9.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Issue the following command to create a user and set its password:
#useradd non-root ;  passwd non-root

2. Switch to user "non-root" by command "su - non-root", and create or import a VM named "DomainU1"

3. Execute commands "blkiotune" or "schedinfo" under "non-root" user, and error will occurs.


Actual results:
1. [non-root@localhost ~]$ virsh blkiotune DomainU1
error: Unable to get blkio parameters
error: Requested operation is not valid: blkio cgroup isn't mounted

2. [non-root@localhost ~]$ virsh schedinfo  DomainU1
Scheduler      : Unknown
error: Requested operation is not valid: cgroup CPU controller is not mounted


The above error message is not clear.



Expected results:
Error message should be clear and improved.


Additional info:
This issue occurs both on RHEL7 and RHEL6.5
