Description of problem: virt-manager tries to create a vmport (VMWare compatibility) device in a VM which doesn't use Spice, even if it is a non-x86 guest running on a non-x86 hypervisor which therefore can't support vmport. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): (virt manager host) virt-manager-1.2.1-2.fc22.noarch libvirt-1.2.13.1-2.fc22.x86_64 (remote hypervisor) libvirt-daemon-1.2.17-7.el7.ppc64le qemu-kvm-rhev-2.3.0-21.el7.ppc64le How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. On an x86 machine add a virt-manager backend connecting to libvirt on a POWER8 server 2. Attempt to create new VM on the Power host 3. Deconfigure SPICE on the VM (since Spice is not supported on Power qemu) Actual results: VM creation fails with an error indicating that the qemu version doesn't support vmport. Expected results: VM is created and runs correctly. Additional info:
