Hi Deepti,
I'm not clear which virt type you are seeing this issue on. Is this
with LXC only?
Nopes this is not LXC only issue. I am seeing different problems for
different virt types.
For Xen & LXC:
Though the virsh shows the guest as running the EnabledState value for
Xen and LXC guest is still set to 3 instead of setting a value of 6.
For Xen:
I am not able to create a guest of desired port num for Graphics
information.
And the KVMRedirectionSAP's ElementName/Name is set to -1.
For KVM:
I am able to create a guest of desired port num for Graphics information.
And the KVMRedirectionSAP's ElementName/Name is set to the portnum
supplied to the graphics tag.
Also, the EnabledState value is set appropriately. For ex: when the
guest is running but the vnc session not in active use, it is getting
set to 6 [PS: I did not find the vncserver running on the host].
I wasn't able to reproduce this use. See below for the steps I
followed. Let me know if these steps don't work for you.

The EnabledState of the KVMRedirectionSAP changes whenever the
connection is available. In this case, you'll need to be running a
VNC server on your guest in order for the EnabledState to
active/available. Otherwise, the KVMRedirectionSAP is offline.
What steps will you
follow to verify the EnabledState in the available
state value ?
===================================
Steps to define an LXC guest with vnc graphics console:
1) Open file and define XML with the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<CIM CIMVERSION="2.0" DTDVERSION="2.0">
<MESSAGE ID="5" PROTOCOLVERSION="1.0">
<SIMPLEREQ>
<METHODCALL NAME="DefineSystem">
<LOCALINSTANCEPATH>
<LOCALNAMESPACEPATH>
<NAMESPACE NAME="root"/><NAMESPACE NAME="virt"/>
</LOCALNAMESPACEPATH>
<INSTANCENAME CLASSNAME="LXC_VirtualSystemManagementService">
<KEYBINDING NAME="CreationClassName">
<KEYVALUE
VALUETYPE="string">LXC_VirtualSystemManagementService</KEYVALUE>
</KEYBINDING>
<KEYBINDING NAME="SystemName">
<KEYVALUE VALUETYPE="string">hostname</KEYVALUE>
</KEYBINDING>
</INSTANCENAME>
</LOCALINSTANCEPATH>
<PARAMVALUE NAME="SystemSettings" PARAMTYPE="string">
<VALUE>
instance of LXC_VirtualSystemSettingData {
CreationClassName = "LXC_VirtualSystemSettingData";
VirtualSystemIdentifier = "test";
ElementName = "test";
VirtualSystemType = "LXC";
AutomaticShutdownAction = 2;
AutomaticRecoveryAction = 3;
BootDevice = "hd";
};
</VALUE>
</PARAMVALUE>
<PARAMVALUE NAME="ResourceSettings" PARAMTYPE="string">
<VALUE.ARRAY>
<VALUE>
instance of LXC_GraphicsResourceAllocationSettingData {
InstanceID = "test/graphics";
ResourceType = 24;
KeyMap = "en-us";
ResourceSubType = "vnc";
Address = "127.0.0.1:5931";
};
</VALUE>
</VALUE.ARRAY>
</PARAMVALUE>
</METHODCALL>
</SIMPLEREQ>
</MESSAGE>
</CIM>
With what command did you execute the above XML.
2) Check the defined guest:
$ virsh -c lxc:///system dumpxml test
<domain type='lxc'>
<name>test</name>
<uuid>46c027c3-d143-4b37-97c3-ac86c9c3bca6</uuid>
<memory>0</memory>
<currentMemory>0</currentMemory>
<vcpu>0</vcpu>
<os>
<type arch='x86_64'>exe</type>
<init>/bin/false</init>
</os>
<clock offset='utc'/>
<on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff>
<on_reboot>restart</on_reboot>
<on_crash>restart</on_crash>
<devices>
<console type='pty'>
<target port='0'/>
</console>
<input type='mouse' bus='xen'/>
<graphics type='vnc' port='5931' autoport='no'
listen='127.0.0.1'
keymap='en-us'/>
</devices>
</domain>
