Pretty sure this is fixed by the following upstream commit: http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commit;h=4ed2c3773e0c462ba3af628f62357cc6d9b61718 Created attachment 377259 [details]
Backport of upstream changeset
Applies cleanly and builds fine.
libvirt-0.6.3-25.el5 has been built in dist-5E-qu-candidate with the fix, Daniel This bug has been verified with libvirt 0.6.3-25.el5 on RHEL-5.5. Already
fixed, but a another error is raised:
"error: Failed to create node device from node.xml
error: this function is not supported by the hypervisor: Device is not a fibre channel HBA"
it seems only can create a fibre channel HBA device from xml,Is it a correct
behavior?

[root@dhcp-66-70-62 ~]# virsh nodedev-create node.xml
error: Failed to create node device from node.xml
error: this function is not supported by the hypervisor: Device is not a fibre channel HBA
The error in comment #5 is expected. nodedev-create and nodedev-destroy only work on fibre channel devices, as the error indicates. The improper 'out of memory' error is no longer seen, so it appears this bug is fixed. An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on therefore solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2010-0205.html |
