Last modified: 2016-11-03 14:50:26 EDT
Description of problem: The uri_aliases setting in libvirt-admin.conf doesn't take effect. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt-2.0.0-2.el7.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.Set uri_aliases in libvirt-admin.conf: uri_aliases = [ "admin=libvirtd:///system", ] 2. # systemctl restart libvirtd 3. # virt-admin -c admin error: Failed to connect to the admin server error: unsupported configuration: Unsupported URI scheme '<null>' Actual results: Connect failed. Expected results: Virt-admin connects to libvirtd:///system successfully
And this setting uri_default also doesn't take effect
(In reply to JinFangge from comment #1) > And this setting uri_default also doesn't take effect Well, this one was a different issue than the one being reported above. Therefore, the default URI setting issue is fixed upstream by: commit f5f32bcd1bb7d96b38c34a85658ac0996683f8bc Author: Erik Skultety <eskultet@redhat.com> AuthorDate: Wed Jul 27 13:23:03 2016 +0200 Commit: Erik Skultety <eskultet@redhat.com> CommitDate: Fri Jul 29 09:21:09 2016 +0200 admin: Fix default uri config option name s/admin_uri_default/uri_default The original name 'admin_uri_default' was introduced to our code by commit dbecb87f. However, at that time we already had a separate config file for admin library but the commit mentioned above didn't properly adjust the config's option name. The result is that when we're loading the config, we check a non-existent config option (there's not much to do with the URIs anyway, since we only allow local connection). Additionally, virt-admin's man page documents, that the default URI can be altered by setting admin_uri_default option. So the fix proposed by this patch leaves the libvirt-admin.conf as is and adjusts the naming in the code as well as in the virt-admin's man page.

Obviously, this non-existent config led to ignoring all user settings in libvirt-admin.conf. This patch requires the config filename to be always provided as an argument with the concatenation being simplified.

Reproduce this bug with libvirt-2.0.0-2.el7.x86_64 Steps to reproduce: 1.Set uri_aliases in libvirt-admin.conf: # cd /etc/libvirt/ # vim libvirt-admin.conf uri_aliases = [ "admin=libvirtd:///system",] 2.# systemctl restart libvirtd 3.# virt-admin -c admin error: Failed to connect to the admin server error: unsupported configuration: Unsupported URI scheme '<null>' 4.Rename the config file to the wrong filename in argument format "libvirt%s%s.conf", reconnect. # mv libvirt-admin.conf libvirt-libvirt-admin.conf.conf # virt-admin -c admin Welcome to virt-admin, the administrating virtualization interactive terminal. Type: 'help' for help with commands 'quit' to quit virt-admin # Verify this bug with libvirt-2.0.0-5.el7.x86_64 Steps to verify: 1.Set uri_aliases in libvirt-admin.conf: # vim /etc/libvirt/libvirt-admin.conf uri_aliases = [ "admin=libvirtd:///system",] 2.# systemctl restart libvirtd 3.# virt-admin -c admin Welcome to virt-admin, the administrating virtualization interactive terminal. Type: 'help' for help with commands 'quit' to quit virt-admin # (Virt-admin connects to libvirtd:///system successfully) 4.If rename the config file to be "libvirt-libvirt-admin.conf.conf", cannot connect successfully, which is as expected. Since the results are as expected, mark this bug as verified.
