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 2017-02-06 03:15:53 UTC
Description of problem:
Failed to force clone a guest with ISO file

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-manager-1.4.0-2.el7.noarch

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Prepare a guest with a cdrom disk.
    <disk type='file' device='disk'>
      <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/>
      <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/rhel7.3-3.qcow2'/>
      <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/>
    </disk>
    <disk type='file' device='cdrom'>
      <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
      <source file='/root/SLE-12-SP1-Server-DVD-x86_64-GM-DVD1.iso'/>
      <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
      <readonly/>
      <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
    </disk>
2. Clone the guest by below command.
# virt-clone -o rhel7.3 -n testclone -f /var/lib/libvirt/images/rhel7.3-3.qcow2 -f /root/SLE-12-SP1-Server-DVD-x86_64-GM-DVD1.iso --debug --force-copy=hda

Actual results:
RuntimeError: Couldn't create storage volume 'cloned.iso': 'internal error: Child process (/usr/bin/qemu-img convert -f iso -O iso /root/SLE-12-SP1-Server-DVD-x86_64-GM-DVD1.iso /tmp/cloned.iso) unexpected exit status 1: qemu-img: Could not open '/root/SLE-12-SP1-Server-DVD-x86_64-GM-DVD1.iso': Unknown driver 'iso'

Expected results:
virt-clone should run successfully.

Comment 2 Cole Robinson 2017-03-06 21:55:04 UTC
There's a similar against upstream libvirt: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=972784

virsh vol-clone [isovol] fails as well. I think the best thing to do is teach libvirt that format=iso should just be format=raw when we pass the format to qemu-img

Comment 3 Cole Robinson 2017-03-06 21:59:40 UTC
I sent a libvirt patch upstream:

    storage: Don't pass 'iso' format to qemu-img

Comment 6 yisun 2017-10-31 06:19:45 UTC
test with:
libvirt-3.8.0-1.virtcov.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.10.0-3.el7.x86_64

1. prepare a iso image
## mkisofs -o /var/lib/libvirt/images/aaa.iso /tmp
## ll -h /var/lib/libvirt/images/aaa.iso 
-rw-r--r--. 1 qemu qemu 8.5M Oct 31 14:10 /var/lib/libvirt/images/aaa.iso
## file /var/lib/libvirt/images/aaa.iso
/var/lib/libvirt/images/aaa.iso: # ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'CDROM'

2. prepare a vm with following disks:
## virsh dumpxml v | grep disk -a5
...
    <disk type='file' device='disk'>
      <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/>
      <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/RHEL-7.5-x86_64-latest.qcow2'/>
      <backingStore/>
      <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>
      <alias name='virtio-disk0'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x08' function='0x0'/>
    </disk>
    <disk type='file' device='cdrom'>
      <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
      <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/aaa.iso'/>
      <backingStore/>
      <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
      <readonly/>
      <alias name='ide0-0-0'/>
      <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
    </disk>
...

3. do the virt-clone with vm shutoff:
## virt-clone -o v -n testclone -f /var/lib/libvirt/images/clone.qcow2 -f /var/lib/libvirt/images/clone.iso --debug --force-copy=hda
...

...

4. check the clone.iso same with original aaa.iso
## file /var/lib/libvirt/images/clone.iso 
/var/lib/libvirt/images/clone.iso: # ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'CDROM'\

## diff /var/lib/libvirt/images/aaa.iso /var/lib/libvirt/images/clone.iso; echo $?
0
