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 Xiaodai Wang 2015-07-07 11:16:39 UTC
Description of problem:
An "Input Error" pops up when install a guest with volume in rbd storage pool

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-manager-1.2.1-2.el7.noarch

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a rbd storage pool in virt-manager and create volume in the pool.
[root@localhost ~]# virsh pool-dumpxml rbd
<pool type='rbd'>
  <name>rbd</name>
  <uuid>60013b2e-398a-4c4e-b8d5-7d917ae04803</uuid>
  <capacity unit='bytes'>139701780480</capacity>
  <allocation unit='bytes'>1262375095</allocation>
  <available unit='bytes'>89787064320</available>
  <source>
    <host name='10.66.4.150' port='6789'/>
    <name>libvirt-pool</name>
    <auth type='ceph' username='libvirt'>
      <secret usage='client.libvirt secret'/>
    </auth>
  </source>
</pool>

[root@localhost ~]# virsh pool-list rbd
 Name                 State      Autostart 
-------------------------------------------
 rbd                  active     no        

[root@localhost ~]# virsh pool-info rbd
Name:           rbd
UUID:           60013b2e-398a-4c4e-b8d5-7d917ae04803
State:          running
Persistent:     yes
Autostart:      no
Capacity:       130.11 GiB
Allocation:     1.18 GiB
Available:      83.62 GiB

[root@localhost ~]# virsh vol-list --pool rbd
 Name                 Path                                    
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 rbd1.img             libvirt-pool/rbd1.img                   
 xiaodwan             libvirt-pool/xiaodwan                   
 yy1.img              libvirt-pool/yy1.img                    
 yy2.img              libvirt-pool/yy2.img 

2. Click "new"->Network Install(HTTP, FTP, or NFS), contine the installation following the tips until step 4 of 5.
3. Choose "Select managed or other existing storage", click Browse button, select the rbd pool and select a image file in it, click "Choose volume".
4. Click "Forward" to continue.

Actual result:
An error message box pops up.

Storage parameter error.
Could not start storage pool: cannot open path '/root/libvirt-pool': No such file or directory

Comment 2 Pavel Hrdina 2015-07-30 13:37:17 UTC
Moving to RHEL-7.3 because this is not just some simple bug, but creating a guest with rbd storage using virt-manager isn't implemented.

Comment 4 Pavel Hrdina 2016-06-07 08:58:56 UTC
*** Bug 1314098 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 9 Cole Robinson 2018-10-22 12:55:50 UTC
Upstream works better here nowadays, but there's a number of patches to backport and they will not apply cleanly to RHEL7 virt-manager code. Given that there hasn't been any customer request to make this work, I'm closing this as WONTFIX for rhel7, please reopen if I've missed something
