Public bug reported:
---Problem Description---
Cannot start my RHEL guest on an OpenPOWER system using libvirt/kvm
---uname output---
Linux partpalm28 3.16.0-24-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 28 13:06:19 UTC 2014
ppc64le ppc64le ppc64le GNU/Linux
Machine Type = p8 openpower
---Steps to Reproduce---
Try to create a kvm guest using virsh create and a RHEL (6.5 or later) ISO.
During create, you will get the error
tyan@partpalm28:~$ virsh create rhel*
error: Failed to create domain from rhel65.xml
error: internal error: early end of file from monitor: possible problem:
qemu: hardware error: qemu: could not load LPAR rtas
'/usr/share/qemu/spapr-rtas.bin'
The problem is that /usr/share/qemu/spar-rtas.bin is symlinked to
"../slof/spapr-rtas.bin" and /usr/share/slof is not included in the libvirt
apparmor profile as acceptable. The fix is to change
/etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/libvirt-qemu as follows:
*** libvirt-qemu Fri Oct 31 09:58:34 2014
--- libvirt-qemu+ Fri Oct 31 09:58:25 2014
