Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2009:0137 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE virt-manager enhancement and bug fix update 2009-01-20 16:05:01 UTC

Description Adam Stokes 2008-01-15 19:26:24 UTC
Description of problem:
When editing the gtkspinbutton directly (not using the actual spin buttons) you
are able to apply a max mem value lower than current mem.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-manager 0.4.0

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. access a shutdown guest in gui
2. access memory tab
3. type a value in the maxmem spinbutton lower than current mem
  
Actual results:
virt-manager allows this setting to be applied

Expected results:
virt-manager should not set the max mem allocation lower than current mem
allocation. it should at least be set the same as current mem or give the
ability to set at a higher value.

I've applied this patch upstream:

http://hg.et.redhat.com/virt/applications/virt-manager--devel?cs=1f1ee216fcef

Might be a bit late for 5.2 since this isn't an intrusive bug, though.

Comment 4 RHEL Program Management 2008-03-11 19:37:01 UTC
This request was previously evaluated by Red Hat Product Management
for inclusion in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release, but
Red Hat was unable to resolve it in time.  This request will be
reviewed for a future Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.
