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 weizhang 2011-07-20 07:24:48 UTC
Description of problem:
connect the hypersior without configure tls/tcp environment, just do
# virsh -c qemu+tls:///system
will report
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

but libvirtd still alive. So I think it just reports wrong message.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-0.9.3-6.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. virsh -c qemu+tls:///system
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
reports
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Expected results:
reports reasonable message like
error: Cannot access CA certificate '/etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem': No such file or directory
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor

    Don't try to close a NULL virNetClientPtr
    
    * src/rpc/virnetclient.c: Skip close attempt if virNetClientPtr
      is NULL

Comment 8 xhu 2011-07-26 08:28:17 UTC
I have verified it on RHEL6u2 server with the following component and it passed:
libvirt-0.9.3-8.el6
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.172.el6
kernel-2.6.32-171.el6

The steps are as follows:
1 connect to localhost without tls configuration:
# virsh -c qemu+tls:///system
error: Cannot read CA certificate '/etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem': No such file or directory
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
