Description of problem: virt-install doesn't be triggered as noautoconsole when --wait=0 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-manager-1.4.0-1.el7.noarch How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Check --wait option in man page of virt-install, "a value of 0 triggers the same results as noautoconsole". --wait WAIT Amount of time to wait (in minutes) for a VM to complete its install. Without this option, virt-install will wait for the console to close (not necessarily indicating the guest has shutdown), or in the case of --noautoconsole, simply kick off the install and exit. Any negative value will make virt-install wait indefinitely, a value of 0 triggers the same results as noautoconsole. If the time limit is exceeded, virt-install simply exits, leaving the virtual machine in its current state. 2. Run virt-install with --wait=0. # virt-install --name test --memory 1024 --disk /var/lib/libvirt/images/test.img,size=3 -l http://download.eng.pek2.redhat.com/pub/rhel/rel-eng/RHEL-7.3-20160825.1/compose/Server/x86_64/os/ --wait=0 Actual results: virt-install doesn't exit. Expected results: virt-install should be triggered same as noautoconsole when --wait=0. Additional info:
Upstream commit: commit f07a3021d99298e3b157f6c18b880dcb3ac19b62 Author: Pavel Hrdina <phrdina> Date: Wed Jan 18 13:11:43 2017 +0100 virt-install: fix --wait=0 to behave like --noautoconsole
I can reproduce this bug with package: virt-manager-1.4.0-2.el7.noarch virt-install-1.4.0-2.el7.noarch virt-manager-common-1.4.0-2.el7.noarch Then try to verify this bug with new build: virt-manager-1.4.1-1.el7.noarch virt-install-1.4.1-1.el7.noarch virt-manager-common-1.4.1-1.el7.noarch libvirt-3.1.0-2.el7.x86_64 Steps: 2. Run virt-install with --wait=0. # virt-install --name test --memory 1024 --connect qemu:///system --disk /var/lib/libvirt/images/test.img,size=3 --cdrom /root/Downloads/RHEL-6.8-20160414.0-Server-x86_64-dvd1.iso --wait=0 Starting install... Domain installation still in progress. You can reconnect to the console to complete the installation process. 3. Run virt-install with --noautoconsole # virt-install --name test --memory 1024 --connect qemu:///system --disk /var/lib/libvirt/images/test.img,size=3 --cdrom /root/Downloads/RHEL-6.8-20160414.0-Server-x86_64-dvd1.iso --noautoconsole Starting install... Domain installation still in progress. You can reconnect to the console to complete the installation process. Result: 1. --wait=0 behaves like --noautoconsole 2. After step2, use virt-viewer to connect to vm to finish installation successfully. So move this bug from ON_QA to VERIFIED status.
