Description of problem: GUI of virtmanager writes localhost disconnected, but virt machines are running Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-manager-0.5.3-8.el5 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.open virt-manager 2.create or start some virt-machines 3.close virt-manager 4.open virt-manager Actual results: Localhost status is written disconnected, but all virtmachines are running Expected results: There should be written localhost connected, because all virt-machines are running in background. Additional info:
This is not a bug, the terminology here is just a bit misleading. Virt manager can connect to multiple hypervisors at the same time, with each hypervisor listed as a tree entry and its VMs as the entries children. Since you may not want an active connection to each hypervisor, polling for resources/taking up bandwidth, you can connect or disconnect from each hypervisor indivdually. On start up all connections are disconnected, which is what you are seeing. Double click the connection and it will connect, listing your VMs. Closing as NOTABUG.
