Hi, everyon
Does Libvirt(1.0.2) support ‘device_model_version’options to create xen virtual machine ?
In order to create VM to supported virtual desktop( view by spice client) I have created 3 VMs, the first VM(VM1) use xl config file, and the other(VM2 and VM3) use xml config file .
VM1: I assigned the 'device_model_version' parmeter to 'qemu-xen', start success and can accessed by spice client!
( Xen4.2.0 support two device model: qemu-xen-traditional and qemu-xen. qemu-xen-traditional: default, and use the historical Xen fork of Qemu. qemu-xen : use the upstream Qemu . only 'qemu-xen' device model support spice protocol. refer to url http://xenbits.xen.org/docs/4.2-testing/man/xl.cfg.5.html#device_model_options).
VM2: xml config file. converted from VM1 by libvirt command 'virsh domxml-from-native xen-xm vd'. I Founed that 'device_model_version' and 'spice' realated parameters ared disappered !
Afeter "virsh create vd.xml " to create VM2, the domain crashed, libvirtd exist, coming the fellow error :
# virsh create vd.xml
error: Failed to create domain from vd.xml
error: End of file while reading data: Input/output error

VM3: xml file is similar to VM2, only add "<emulator>/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-system-i386</emulator> " in attribute "<devices>" . has the same error with VM2
the xl config file of VM1

</domain>
My question are :
1. Does libvirt(1.0.2) use default device model 'qemu-xen-traditional' ? Any method to specify the device model to "qemu-xen"?
Does libvirt support 'spice' realated parameters? howto ?
2. Why VM2 and VM3 crashed? any suggests ?
Dom0 : CentOS6.2, kernel 2.6.32.50-1.el6xen.x86_64
Xen4.2.0 + Libvirt1.0.2 compile from source code.
