[libvirt] ANNOUNCE: virt-manager 1.5.0 released
by Cole Robinson 06 Feb '18

06 Feb '18

I'm happy to announce the release of virt-manager 1.5.0! virt-manager is a desktop application for managing KVM, Xen, and LXC virtualization via libvirt. The release can be downloaded from: http://virt-manager.org/download/ This release includes: - python3 prep work (Radostin Stoyanov, Cole Robinson, Cédric Bosdonnat) - Switch --location ISO to use isoinfo (Andrew Wong) - virt-install: add --cpu numa distance handling (Menno Lageman) - virt-install: fix --disk for rbd volumes with auth (Rauno Väli) - virt-install: add --cputune vcpupin handling (Wim ten Have) - details ui: Showing attached scsi devices per controller (Lin Ma) - network ui: Show details about SR-IOV VF pool (Lin Ma) - Greatly expand UI test suite coverage Note, the next major release will be within the next 2-3 months and will be a port to python3. There may be additional bugfix releases in the 1.5 series if needed. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this release through testing, bug reporting, submitting patches, and otherwise sending in feedback! Thanks, Cole

[libvirt] [PATCH] conf: Check for user aliases duplicates only
by Michal Privoznik 06 Feb '18

06 Feb '18

When validating a device XML config we check if user provided alias is unique. We do this by maintaining a hash table of device aliases as we iterated over all devices defined for the domain. However, it may happen that what appears as two devices in domain XML is in fact just one interface in hypervisor. For instance in qemu driver this is true for uhci/ehci controllers. In that case an error is reported even though it is not actually an error. At any rate, we can assume libvirt generated aliases to be unique and thus really check user provided ones only.
