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 Gu Nini 2015-03-30 06:39:30 UTC 
Description of problem:
When set the the memory statistics polling interval to a value that exceeds its maximum such as 11111111111, the prompt in virsh is incorrect:

# virsh dommemstat virtioraw-0327 --period 11111111111
error: Unable to parse integer parameter.

While that with qmp cmd in qemu is correct:
# {'execute': 'qom-set', 'arguments': {'path': '/machine/peripheral/balloon0', 'property': 'guest-stats-polling-interval', 'value':11111111111}}
{"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "timer value is too big"}}

Comment 3 Andrea Bolognani 2015-05-18 12:05:17 UTC 
The error message reported by virsh in this and in many similar situations has been greatly improved by the following commit, which has been merged upstream and will be part of the next libvirt release:

commit 449316701b82c77c26f6fca0c28ece6a604ae238
Author: Andrea Bolognani <abologna>
Date:   Fri May 15 18:14:39 2015 +0200

    virsh: Improve error message on integer value parsing failure.
    
    Replace more than 30 ad-hoc error messages with a single, generic one
    that contains the name of the option being processed and some hints
    to help the user understand what could have gone wrong.
