Description Rita Wu 2011-03-24 03:53:44 UTC
Description of problem:
virt-inspector cannot query fullvirt in Windows guest.

#virt-inspector --query winxp-64bit-recovery-console.img
windows=yes
linux=no
rhel=no
fedora=no
debian=no
fullvirt=no
xen_domU_kernel=no
xen_pv_drivers=no
virtio_drivers=no
userspace_arch=x86_64


I saw that there is a comment, that is # XXX Fails on Windows guests, to state this issue in output_query_fullvirt. But it doesn't state that in virt-inspector manual, that's the more direct way users will take.

#man virt-inspector
fullvirt=(yes|no)
Answer "yes" if there is at least one operating system kernel
installed in the guest which runs fully virtualized. Such a guest
would require a hypervisor which supports full system
virtualization.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libguestfs-tools-1.7.17-12.el6.x86_64
libguestfs-1.7.17-12.el6.x86_64


How reproducible:
always



Expected results:
Point out in manual page that fullvirt query doesn't support Windows guest

Comment 7 Jinxin Zheng 2011-08-18 07:16:54 UTC
Verified in libguestfs-1.7.17-26, the following comment is added in man page of virt-inspector:

fullvirt=(yes|no)
...
Note: This only works correctly for Linux guests (RHBZ#690358).
