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
virt-manager miss privnet option in xml file when creating lxc guest using operating system container

Refer to bug 1040311 comment 1:
If you are running a full operating system in LXC, you *must* have a private network namespace either by adding an <interface> or by requesting a new namespace with
  <features>
     <privnet/>
  </features>

Also privnet option from libvirt.org:
    Always create a private network namespace. This is automatically set if any interface devices are defined. This feature is only relevant for container based virtualization drivers, such as LXC. 

Version:
virt-manager-0.9.0-19.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. add the following yum repo
#vim /etc/yum.repos.d/yum-fedora.conf
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum/$basearch/$releaseverkeepcache=0
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
exactarch=1
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1
plugins=1
installonly_limit=3

[fedora]

#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/$releasever/Everything/$basearch/os/
mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-$releasever&arch=$basearch
enabled=1
metadata_expire=7d
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$releasever-$basearch

gpgcheck=1

2.#yum -y --nogpg --releasever=19 --config=/etc/yum.repos.d/yum-fedora.conf --installroot=/var/lib/libvirt/filesystems/f19x86_64 --disablerepo='*' --enablerepo=fedora  install  systemd passwd yum redhat-release vim-minimal openssh-server procps

3. #echo "pts/0" >> /var/lib/libvirt/filesystems/f19x86_64/etc/securetty

4. #vi /var/lib/libvirt/filesystems/f19x86_64/etc/pam.d/login
 commnent out the following lines
#session    required     pam_selinux.so close
#session    required     pam_loginuid.so

5.add root user and the passwd.
#chroot /var/lib/libvirt/filesystems/f19x86_64 /bin/passwd root

6.Launch virt-manager.

7.Click "Create a new virtual machine"

8.input vm name,select "Localhost(LXC)" in "Connetion"

9.select "operating system container" and click "Forward"

10.Browse to path of rootfs.fedora,in this case is /var/lib/libvirt/filesystems/f19x86_64

11.set Memory and cpu ,and click "Forward"

12.click "Advanced options", click "Finish"

13.Check the xml file of lxc guest,no privnet included in the xml file.
# virsh -c lxc:///  dumpxml test 
<domain type='lxc' id='19189'>

Comment 1 hyao@redhat.com 2014-01-06 07:43:41 UTC
The bug reproduced on the package by following the steps in the description. 
virt-manager-0.9.0-19.el6.x86_64

Comment 2 Giuseppe Scrivano 2014-03-12 10:21:07 UTC
this improvement is now upstream:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2014-March/msg00032.html

I am going to close it as WONTFIX, as it is not worth of a back-port at this late stage.  Please re-open if you disagree with me or if it is affecting any user.
