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 2016-01-13 03:17:09 UTC 
Description of problem:
The behaviour is different if don't specify security label for static type between rhel6 and rhel7 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-install-1.2.1-8.el7.noarch

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
RHEL7:
# virt-install -n demo -r 1024 -f /var/lib/libvirt/images/demo.img -s 5 -l http://download.englab.nay.redhat.com/pub/rhel/rel-eng/RHEL-7.2-20151030.0/compose/Server/x86_64/os/ --security type='static'

Starting install...
Retrieving file vmlinuz...                                                                                                                                                                  9.8 MB  00:00:00 !!!
Retrieving file initrd.img...                                                                                                                                                                76 MB  00:00:03 !!!
ERROR    XML error: security label is missing
Domain installation does not appear to have been successful.
If it was, you can restart your domain by running:
  virsh --connect qemu:///system start demo
 otherwise, please restart your installation.

 RHEL6:
 #  virt-install -n demo -r 1024 -f /var/lib/libvirt/images/demo.img -s 5 -c /tmp/RHEL5.5-Server-20100322.0-x86_64-DVD.iso --security type='static'
 ERROR    A label must be specified for static security type.

Actual results:
The error is returned after installation begins and the image file is created for rhel7.
The error is returned before installation begins for rhel6.

Expected results:
I think the behavior for rhel6 is better because it will not create any files when error occurs and keep the env more cleaner.

Hi, closing this bug as WONTFIX.  It's good enough to pass the error from libvirt.  From more information see <https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2016-May/msg00076.html>
