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 of problem:
As we know, the lastest qemu-kvm already support qed image format, so virt-manager also needs to support.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-0.9.4-11.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.190.el6.x86_64
virt-manager-0.9.0-6.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start up virt-manager
2. Edit -> Connection Details -> Storage -> New Volume

Actual results:
no qed option in [Format] for volume creation.

Expected results:
qed format could be created and displayed normally.

Additional info:

We actually store this list in virtinst, so that's where the fix is:

http://git.fedorahosted.org/git?p=python-virtinst.git;a=commit;h=9b38d38851c1b24783ad94655d8cd19cfeb1f011

Fixed in python-virtinst-0.600.0-4.el6

Verified with
kernel-2.6.32-197.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.192.el6.x86_64
libvirt-0.9.4-17.el6.x86_64
python-virtinst-0.600.0-5.el6.noarch
virt-manager-0.9.0-7.el6.x86_64

step:
1. Start up virt-manager
2. Edit -> Connection Details -> Storage -> New Volume
  
   qed option is in [Format] list for volume creation.

3. Add a qed format volume to the storage.
  
   qed format could be created ,displayed and deleted normally.

So move the status of this bug to verified.
