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.

    esx: use lsilogic adapter type in vol create.
    
    ESX will refuse to attach VMDKS that have buslogic adatper type to 64bit
    VMs whereas lsilogic works fine both 32bit and 64bit VMs.

If rool back this commit 77298458d027db4d3e082213355e2d792f65158d.
I verify locally, it still failed.

virsh # vol-create-as datastore1 xenrtmanualtest1/xenrtmanualtest1.vmdk 100M --format vmdk
error: Failed to create vol xenrtmanualtest1/xenrtmanualtest1.vmdk
error: internal error: Could not create volume: InvalidArgument - A specified parameter was not correct: buslogic

Hi experts, please help to take a look at this issue.

Many thanks.

Seems Jaroslav's guess is correct.
When I roll back commit. It works fine. My last comment, misspell the word "busLogic"

Comment 9 Meina Li 2018-08-10 09:19:53 UTC 
Verified on libvirt-4.5.0-6.el7.x86_64

Test steps:
1. Connect an esx host.

# virsh -c esx://${esx_host}/?no_verify=1

2. Check pool and create volume for this pool.

virsh # pool-list --all
 Name                 State      Autostart 
-------------------------------------------
 datastore1(2)        active     yes       
 esx6.7               active     yes

virsh # vol-create-as datastore1(2) manualtest/manualtest.vmdk 100M --format vmdk
Vol manualtest/manualtest.vmdk created

virsh # vol-list datastore1(2)
 Name                 Path                                    
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 manualtest/manualtest.vmdk [datastore1(2)] manualtest/manualtest.vmdk

3. Check vol-dumpxml and vol-info for this volume.

virsh # vol-dumpxml manualtest/manualtest.vmdk datastore1(2)
<volume type='file'>
  <name>manualtest/manualtest.vmdk</name>
  <key>6000c29c-c0b1-06e8-7f7f-69665cbc7a32</key>
  <source>
  </source>
  <capacity unit='bytes'>104857600</capacity>
  <allocation unit='bytes'>104857600</allocation>
  <target>
    <path>[datastore1(2)] manualtest/manualtest.vmdk</path>
    <format type='vmdk'/>
  </target>
</volume>

virsh # vol-info manualtest/manualtest.vmdk datastore1(2)
Name:           manualtest/manualtest.vmdk
Type:           file
Capacity:       100.00 MiB
Allocation:     100.00 MiB

The results is expected and move this bug to be verified.
