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 Pino Toscano 2016-07-20 09:15:53 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1358179 +++

Description of problem:
-q/--quiet is described to "Avoid extra informational messages."; however, it is not always respected.
For example, I can see the following:

$ virsh -q pool-refresh test
Pool test refreshed
$ virsh -q define some.xml
Domain test defined from some.xml
$ virsh -q pool-destroy test
Pool test destroyed
$ virsh -q undefine test
Domain test has been undefined

(there might be more, but I did not check further.)

Indeed, all these outputs use the internal vshPrint function, which just prints the message regardless of the debug level and the quiet flag.  From a cursory look, vshPrintExtra should instead respect -q.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-client-1.3.3.1-4.fc24.x86_64
... or also with current git/master

    virsh: respect -q/--quiet more
    
    Turn various vshPrint() informative messages into vshPrintExtra(), so
    they are not printed when requesting the quiet mode; neither XML/info
    outputs nor the results of commands are affected.
    Also change the expected outputs of the virsh-undefine test, since virsh
    is invoked in quiet mode there.
    
    Some informative messages might still be converted (and thus silenced
    when in quiet mode), but this is an improvements nonetheless.

Comment 5 Lili Zhu 2017-06-18 17:24:22 UTC 
Reproduce the bug with build libvirt-2.0.0-10.el7.x86_64

# virsh -q pool-refresh pool-dir
Pool pool-dir refreshed

# virsh -q list --all
 5     rhel7.4v2                      running
 -     rhel7.4                        shut off
 -     rhel7.4_dump                   shut off

# virsh -q undefine rhel7.4
Domain rhel7.4 has been undefined

# virsh -q define rhel7.4.xml 
Domain rhel7.4 defined from rhel7.4.xml

# virsh -q pool-destroy pool-dir
Pool pool-dir destroyed


Verify the bug with build libvirt-3.2.0-10.el7.x86_64

# virsh -q pool-define dir.xml 
# virsh -q pool-start pool-dir
# virsh -q pool-refresh pool-dir
# virsh -q list --all
 5     rhel7.4v2                      running
 -     full-73                        shut off
 -     q35                            shut off
 -     rhel7.4                        shut off
 -     rhel7.4_dump                   shut off
# virsh -q undefine rhel7.4v2
# virsh -q destroy rhel7.4v2
# virsh -q define rhel7.4v2.xml.dump 
# virsh -q start rhel7.4v2

As the result match the expectation, mark the bug as verified.
