What's needed to test[edit]

How to test[edit]

Testing this feature is very straightforward:

  1. Edit an existing guests configuration using virsh edit
  2. Set the machine attribute to pc e.g.
    <os>
    <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc'>hvm</type>
  3. Check the newly saved configuration using virsh dumpxml
  4. Verify the machine attribute is now pc-0.11 e.g.
    <os>
    <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-0.11'>hvm</type>
  5. Start the guest and verify that it boots correctly as before

That's it! The idea is that we record the ABI version number of the pc machine type in the guest configuration so that when qemu is updated in future, we will continue using the same ABI.
