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.

    qemu: allow device block I/O tuning in session mode
Comment 4 zhengqin 2014-09-15 05:15:08 UTC 
Although there is an bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=927369 to block to verify this issue, from the bug 927369, there is a workround by creating directory "$HOME/.cache/libvirt"


Verify this issue with this workaround and build libvirt-1.2.8-2.el7.x86_64:

[test@rhel7-a1 ~]$  virsh blkdeviotune rhel6 hda 2

[test@rhel7-a1 ~]$  virsh blkdeviotune rhel6 hda 
total_bytes_sec: 2
read_bytes_sec : 0
write_bytes_sec: 0
total_iops_sec : 0
read_iops_sec  : 0
write_iops_sec : 0

[test@rhel7-a1 ~]$  virsh blkdeviotune rhel6 hda 3

[test@rhel7-a1 ~]$  virsh blkdeviotune rhel6 hda 
total_bytes_sec: 3
read_bytes_sec : 0
write_bytes_sec: 0
total_iops_sec : 0
read_iops_sec  : 0
write_iops_sec : 0
Comment 5 Pei Zhang 2014-10-17 03:44:42 UTC 
Verify vision:
kernel-3.10.0-188.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.1.2-3.el7.x86_64
libvirt-1.2.8-5.el7.x86_64

steps:

1.
add a user and switch to user mode.
[test@184 images]$ virsh uri
qemu:///session

2.
using blkdeviotune query a block device I/O tuning parameters
[test@184 images]$ virsh blkdeviotune rhel7 vda
total_bytes_sec: 0
read_bytes_sec : 0
write_bytes_sec: 0
total_iops_sec : 0
read_iops_sec  : 0
write_iops_sec : 0

3.
using blkdeviotune set a block device I/O tuning parameters
[test@184 images]$ virsh blkdeviotune rhel7 vda 5

[test@184 images]$ virsh blkdeviotune rhel7 vda
total_bytes_sec: 5
read_bytes_sec : 0
write_bytes_sec: 0
total_iops_sec : 0
read_iops_sec  : 0
write_iops_sec : 0

6.
check setting only one value  resets the other two in that category to unlimited.

read_iops_sec  : 0
write_iops_sec : 0

7.
check Bytes and iops values are independent
[test@184 images]$ virsh blkdeviotune rhel7 vda  --read-bytes-sec 10 --write-iops-sec 10
[test@184 images]$ virsh blkdeviotune rhel7 vda

read_bytes_sec : 10
write_bytes_sec: 0
total_iops_sec : 0
read_iops_sec  : 0
write_iops_sec : 10

8.
negative testing

--check total_bytes_sec cannot appear with read_bytes_sec or write_bytes_sec.

[test@184 images]$ virsh blkdeviotune rhel7 vda --config --live --read-bytes-sec 10 --total-bytes-sec 1
error: Unable to change block I/O throttle
error: invalid argument: total and read/write of bytes_sec cannot be set at the same time

--check check total_iops_sec cannot appear with read_iops_sec or write_iops_sec.

[test@184 images]$ virsh blkdeviotune rhel7 vda --live --read-bytes-sec 10 --write-bytes-sec 30 --total-iops-sec 1 --read-iops-sec 10
