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.

Patch to fence_virsh to treat unknown VM names as off

Description of problem:
If you have a VM running on an el5 xen host then fence_virsh does not work correctly

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a guest on an el5 xen system and from the guest, attempt to fence using something like `fence_virsh -l root -k /root/.ssh/id_rsa -x -o status -4 -a xenhost.company.com -n vmname -v`
2.
3.

Actual results:
[root@vmname ~]# fence_virsh -l root -k /root/.ssh/id_rsa -x -o status -4 -a xenhost.company.com -n vmname -v
Running command: /usr/bin/ssh -4  root.com -i /root/.ssh/id_rsa -p 22 -t '/bin/bash -c "PS1=\[EXPECT\]#\  /bin/bash --noprofile --norc"'
Received: [EXPECT]# 
Sent: virsh domstate vmname
Sent: 

Received: virsh domstate vmname
error: failed to get domain 'vmname'
error: Domain not found: xenUnifiedDomainLookupByName

[EXPECT]# 
Failed: You have to enter existing name/UUID of virtual machine!

Please use '-h' for usage


Expected results:
fence_virsh should return valid results

Additional info:
Xen does not return domstate info for VMs that are not currently running. Trivial fix is to return 'off' for unknown VM names as per attached patch.

Proposed patch

Thanks for a patch, we already have option --missing-as-off that allows you (on selected agents) to work with VM/.. that looks like they do not exist. I have changed a patch to follow this standard. Can you please retest it on your deployment? fence_virsh is not supported on RHEL so our QE coverage of it is limited.

Comment 3 Trevor Hemsley 2015-08-19 13:33:08 UTC
I patched and tested using your version but it did not want to work. I changed  options.has_key("missing_as_off"): to options.has_key("--missing-as-off"): and then it seems to be OK.

Comment 4 Marek Grac 2015-08-19 13:56:59 UTC
@Trevor:

thanks, patch is in upstream now.

Comment 7 Mike McCune 2016-03-28 23:04:30 UTC
This bug was accidentally moved from POST to MODIFIED via an error in automation, please see mmccune with any questions
