Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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.
