This could cause issues for people trying unattended non-graphical
kickstart installs and expecting ttyS0 in the guest to be hooked
up to the default console. So to get back the default behavior, you
can do:
--console pty
The XML we use is:
<clock offset="utc">
<timer name="rtc" tickpolicy="catchup"/>
<timer name="pit" tickpolicy="delay"/>
<timer name="hpet" present="no"/>
</clock>
Which translates to the qemu commands:
-no-hpet -no-kvm-pit-reinjection -rtc driftfix=slew
The latter two bits are already used by openstack and gnome boxes by
default.
On RHEL hpet is compiled out so -no-hpet is the default,
but not everywhere else. Though recently the RH guys confirmed that
for regular usage it should be turned off because a) qemu support
is not that good, b) most users don't need it anyways c) it has
a performance penalty.
This default can be overridden from a virt-install command like
--clock rtc_tickpolicy=delay
When Guest() sees that a timer has already been defined, it won't
set the new defaults, and that setting above is the old implied
default rtc setting.
These bits only apply if virt-manager is running directly on a RHEL6.
Since latest virt-manager can't do that thanks to GTK3 conversion,
just drop it all.
This used to happen:
- create VM with cdrom, cdrom gets hdc
- customize before install
- add new cdrom, gets target hda or hdb (first free target)
- new cdrom now has priority in the boot order
Change the logic to try to append targets first, and if there isn't
any space left, use the first free one. This may cause other issues
but we'll just have to wait and see.
It was required a long long time ago, before qemu supported -drive
and possibly ancient xen. Nowadays it should be pointless, and contributes
to some issues like bz 905439
This is where performance issues hit the most. This changes the
RHEL default to remove cache=None for all file volumes. If anyone
cares they can speak up, but it seems an overly unnecessary deviation
from upstream qemu.
The patches to drop /dev/loop0 meant get_blkdisk was inaccurate and
we weren't testing many things that were intended. Use a block disk
from the test driver.
Show a screenshot in the 'new snapshot' wizard. If we successfully create
that snapshot, save the screenshot in
~/.cache/virt-manager/$connuri/$vmuuid/snap-screenshot-$snapname.$ext
And show it in the snapshot details overview. We don't do any reaping
on snapshot delete, vm delete, etc, but that could be added later.
We sort them separately in the snapshot list, explicitly mention that
they are 'external', and add a UI field listing the memory/disk
details.
In general mixing internal and external snapshots is a recipe for
confusion and disaster, so I think the best thing to do is at least
acknowledge their presence in the UI but not make any attempt to
predict what will or will not work.
No unit tests for any of these, just for UI testing at the moment.
These require some non-upstream libvirt patches, but it doesn't
hurt in the interim while they are reviewed.
This is a standalone test like test_urls, and requires interraction. It
pulls down a bunch of kernels from public URL trees, inject known
kickstarts that induce quick failure. User inspects the output to
ensure initrd inject is working as expected.
And hide docs about old --noacpi/--noacpi options. I don't think
anyone really uses them anyways, but if anyone complains we should
just implement --features for the other CLI commands.
