Description of problem: libvirt emitted a invalid option "-bootloader" to qemu-kvm Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt-1.2.8-11.el7.x86_64 qemu-kvm-rhev-2.1.2-17.el7.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: [root@ibm-x3850x5-06 ~]# virsh dumpxml r7| grep bootloader -a4 <vcpu placement='static'>2</vcpu> <resource> <partition>/machine</partition> </resource> <bootloader>/usr/bin/pygrub</bootloader> <bootloader_args>--append single</bootloader_args> ... [root@ibm-x3850x5-06 ~]# virsh list --all Id Name State ---------------------------------------------------- - r7 shut off [root@ibm-x3850x5-06 ~]# virsh start r7 error: Failed to start domain r7 error: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: qemu-kvm: -bootloader: invalid option Actual results: As shown above steps. Expected results: qemu-kvm does not support this option, so libvirt should not emit such option to qemu CLI. Additional info: [root@ibm-x3850x5-06 libvirt-1.2.8]# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -h | grep bootloader [root@ibm-x3850x5-06 libvirt-1.2.8]# [root@ibm-x3850x5-06 libvirt-1.2.8]# < nothing output

Pushed upstream: commit 9aa316612aa74abf88b3eb97e1a0eda920dab94a Author: Ján Tomko <jtomko@redhat.com> CommitDate: 2015-03-02 07:39:09 +0100 Remove bootloader option from QEMU It was only supported by xenner (since commit 763a59d8), for which we removed support in commit de9be0a. Remove the code generating this command line option, refuse to parse it and delete the outdated tests. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1176050 git describe: v1.2.13-2-g9aa3166
Verify this bug with libvirt-1.2.17-2.el7.x86_64 qemu-kvm-rhev-2.3.0-9.el7.x86_64 1. Prepare xml file with bootload options. # cat r7.xml |grep bootload -A 2 <bootloader>/usr/bin/pygrub</bootloader> <bootloader_args>--append single</bootloader_args> <clock offset='utc'/> 2. Try to define guest with above guest # virsh define r7.xml error: Failed to define domain from r7.xml error: unsupported configuration: bootloader is not supported by QEMU # /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -h | grep bootloader
