RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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).
