Re: [libvirt-users] virt-xml-validate b0rked?
2010/10/1 Stanley, Jon [Tech] <Jon.Stanley(a)gs.com>:
It seems that virt-xml-validate doesn't validate what *has* to be
valid XML, that generated by virsh dumpxml against a running domain:
[root@etc752365a ~]# virsh list
Id Name State
----------------------------------
2 rhel55 running
3 rhel53 running
[root@etc752365a ~]# virsh dumpxml rhel55 > foo.xml
[root@etc752365a ~]# virt-xml-validate foo.xml
foo.xml:8: element type: Relax-NG validity error : Invalid attribute arch for element
type
foo.xml:9: element boot: Relax-NG validity error : Element os failed to validate content
foo.xml:8: element type: Relax-NG validity error : Error validating value
foo.xml:8: element type: Relax-NG validity error : Element type failed to validate
content
foo.xml:1: element domain: Relax-NG validity error : Invalid sequence in interleave
foo.xml:1: element domain: Relax-NG validity error : Element domain failed to validate
content
foo.xml fails to validate
Is there something that I'm doing wrong here? This is the libvirt that comes with
RHEL5.5
I tested with current git head and I can reproduce validations errors
for running domains. They come from the device alias element that is
only in the XML for running domains, but missing in the domain.rng.
I've fixed this device alias issue and will post the patch for it later today.
But your validation errors refer to the arch attribute of the os
element, so you're probably having a different problem.
RHEL 5.5 comes with libvirt 0.6.3, latest version is 0.8.4. Maybe the
problem has already be fixed in a newer version.
Could you attach the dumpxml output that doesn't validate for you? So
we can check in detail what the problem is. Maybe the problem is still
there but I can't reproduce it with my setup.
