2. try to start guest
# virsh start xen-pv-rhel6.1-x86_64
error: Failed to start domain xen-pv-rhel6.1-x86_64
error: internal error process exited while connecting to monitor: char device redirected to /dev/pts/3
qemu-kvm: -drive file=/home/v2v/rhel6u1-64b-pv.img,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=aio: 'aio' invalid format
3.
#virsh dumpxml xen-pv-rhel6.1-x86_64
...
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='aio'/>
<source file='/mnt/data/images/rhel6u1-64b-pv.img'/>
<target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/>
</disk>
...
Actual results:
guest can not start
