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.

Comment 3 Jiri Denemark 2011-12-06 08:47:41 UTC 
This is already fixed upstream by v0.9.8-rc2-4-g8fcee13:

commit 8fcee135e816a59bea96768feb15e6f32db328ef
Author: Guido Günther <agx>
Date:   Sun Dec 4 15:26:23 2011 +0100

    remote_driver: don't fail if keepalive check fails
    
    Otherwise connections to older libvirt abort with:
    
    $ virsh -c qemu+ssh://host.example.com/system list
    error: invalid connection pointer in virDrvSupportsFeature
    error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
    
    Tested against 0.8.3 and 0.9.8-rc2.

Confirmed, that commit fixes it for me too !
