Description of problem: Problem raised by Kaitlin Rupert <kaitlin.ibm.com> libvirt-cim generates an incorrect <boot> tag for fully virtualized Xen guests: The tag is generated as <boot>hd</boot>, but it should be generated as <boot dev='hd'/> instead. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt-cim-0.5.5-1.el5 How reproducible: systematic Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attempt to define a guest (be sure to specify a disk) using DefineSystem() CIM interface 2. Attempt to start that guest 3. Alternatively, if you have cimtest setup, you can run the following test: Actual results: missing boot device error ComputerSystem - 05_activate_defined_start.py: FAIL You will see the following error: >> ERROR - Got CIM error CIM_ERR_FAILED: Failed to define domain: >> internal error missing boot device with return code 1 >> ERROR - ERROR: VS 'DomST1' was not defined >> InvokeMethod(DefineSystem): CIM_ERR_FAILED: Failed to define domain: >> internal error missing boot device Expected results: Guest start normally Additional info: Fix is trivial and has been commited upstream: http://libvirt.org/hg/libvirt-cim/rev/4ac0b029df21
