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 2012-08-28 03:44:13 UTC
Description of problem:
ith flag Sys::Virt::Domain::AFFECT_CURRENT, set_scheduler_parameters can not work well when domain is shutoff

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
perl-Sys-Virt-0.9.10-4.el6.x86_64
libvirt-0.10.0-0rc1.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. # cat perl-test.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Sys::Virt;

my $uri = "qemu:///system";
my $domname = "guest2";
my $con = Sys::Virt->new(address => $uri, readonly => 0);
my $dom = $con->get_domain_by_name($domname);
my %sched_param = (Sys::Virt::Domain::SCHEDULER_CPU_SHARES=>1);
$dom->set_scheduler_parameters(\%sched_param, Sys::Virt::Domain::AFFECT_CURRENT);

2. Destroy domain guest2
3. Run # perl perl-test.pl

  
Actual results:
report error
libvirt error code: 55, message: Requested operation is not valid: domain is not running


Expected results:
Should work without error

Additional info:
When domain is shutoff, virsh command works well
# virsh schedinfo guest2 --current cpu_shares=1
Scheduler      : posix
cpu_shares     : 1
vcpu_period    : 0
vcpu_quota     : 0
emulator_period: 0
emulator_quota : 0

Patch on upstream and wait for review:

Comment 2 Daniel Berrangé 2012-09-26 11:18:02 UTC
This inconsistency is a bug in the libvirt QEMU driver, not the Perl bindings.

Comment 3 Daniel Berrangé 2012-09-26 11:18:16 UTC
Posted a patch for libvirt

qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.322.el6.x86_64
