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 zhpeng 2012-06-08 06:01:38 UTC 
Description of problem:
vol-create-as format is lack of qed

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-0.9.10-21.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
# man virsh
  vol-create-as pool-or-uuid name capacity [--allocation size] [--format
       string] [--backing-vol vol-name-or-key-or-path] [--backing-vol-format
       string]
           Create a volume from a set of arguments.  pool-or-uuid is the name
           or UUID of the storage pool to create the volume in.  name is the
           name of the new volume.  capacity is the size of the volume to be
           created, as a scaled integer (see NOTES above), defaulting to bytes
           if there is no suffix.  --allocation size is the initial size to be
           allocated in the volume, also as a scaled integer defaulting to
           bytes.  --format string is used in file based storage pools to
           specify the volume file format to use; raw, bochs, qcow, qcow2,  ----> need add vmdk and qed
           vmdk.  --backing-vol vol-name-or-key-or-path is the source backing
           volume to be used if taking a snapshot of an existing volume.
           --backing-vol-format string is the format of the snapshot backing
           volume; raw, bochs, qcow, qcow2, vmdk, host_device.       ------> need add qed


Actual results:
vol-create-as format is lack of qed and vmdk

Expected results:
Add qed and vmdk

verify with:
libvirt-0.9.13-3.el6.x86_64

step:
1: #man virsh
.......-
-format string
           is used in file based storage pools to specify the volume file format to use; raw, bochs, qcow, qcow2, vmdk, qed. 
.......
--backing-vol-format string is the format of
           the snapshot backing volume; raw, bochs, qcow, qcow2, qed, vmdk, host_device.

qed and vmdk format added. verification passed.
