PPC (BookE, pSeries, ... including KVM)

• pSeries

    • rc1 - immediate segfault - fixed by http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/123204/
  • Booting AIX

s390x

x86 (including KVM/Xen)

• win7 64bit freezes frequently in qemu-1.0-rc2 -enable-kvm and qemu itself becomes unresponsive (only kill -9 works). Tried 32bit build of qemu (on 64bit host kernel) only so far. This behavour didn't exist in 0.15 and in kvm. (mjt)

Emulated hardware

Hints: install your favorite OS, run your favorite benchmarks

Virtio (including vhost-net)

Networking tests [pradeep]

Installed RHEL 6.1 and ran network related autotest tests (ping, set_link, jumbo, file_transfer) with vhost=on

Management

Hints: install your favorite OS, try weird configurations!

Libvirt

• Hotadd of disks/nics/cpu/memory [Supriya]

HMP/QMP/QAPI

• Comprehensive libvirt testing [LuizCapitulino]
• Run kvm-autotest under QMP [LuizCapitulino]

Ganeti

Tested qemu 1.0rc0 under Ganeti 2.5.0-rc4, with the KVM backend (x86_64) on Debian Wheezy.

No problems found during instance creation, live migration and deletion. For these activities, Ganeti sends commands to QEMU both via the monitor protocol and via the QMP protocol.

Had problems connecting via SPICE to an instance that does not use QXL drivers (blank screen), but this seems to be a known issue.

Tracing

Hints: link to sample systemtap scripts!

• Simpletrace memory allocation tracing rc1 [Stefan]
• SystemTap clean build rc1 [Stefan]

Virtfs (9P Server)

• Tested all 9p file system ( security models, features like mmap, locking, posixacl, zerocopy) using the basic fs tests, I/O and stress tests on qemu 1.0rc0 with fs driver as local. No Issues found. [Madhuri]
