A VM made from a template came out at the template's size and shut off,
and was then resized and started by hand. The Clone tab now asks for the
clone's vCPUs and memory, filled in with the VM's, and whether to start
it. After the copy, before the clone is recorded, it is resized with the
Resize tab's own functions and started; a step that fails is a warning
of the job, and the clone stays. The quota counts the larger of the size
asked and the VM's, so a resize that fails leaves the clone at a size it
allowed.
When the job ends the page opens the clone's, not the cloned VM's again:
a template's page, shut off, read as a clone that had not started. An
outcome kept for a warning links to it.
Without a migration address libvirt sends a migrating VM to the
destination's own host name, which the source host often cannot resolve:
a live migration to a host added without one failed ("Unable to resolve
address ..."), also when the other host had one. The destination's
address on the Computes page, which the panel reaches it at, is now the
default; the migration address stays for another network. A host the
panel reaches on its loopback keeps libvirt's default.
A shut-off VM with TPM state, as every Windows 11 VM, was refused for
migration: the state is a file of the source host, and an offline move
would start it there with a new TPM. Such a VM now migrates as a shut-off
VM with disks to copy does: its UEFI variables are copied, it is started
paused, its CPUs never run, migrates live, which carries the TPM state,
and is shut off on the destination. A shut-off VM with a saved state is
refused before any of that, for every way it moves: started paused, it
would resume and then lose the saved memory.
The clone tab says that a clone gets a new, empty TPM, and the destroy
page that the TPM state goes with the VM.
A VM made without a TPM, a Windows 10 to be upgraded to Windows 11, had
no way to get one but the XML editor. The Options tab has a TPM 2.0
switch, as the RNG one: it adds an emulated TPM of the host's model to
the definition for the next start, or removes it. Its state stays on the
host until the VM is undefined, so a TPM added again has it back. A TPM
the switch did not make (passthrough, 1.2, encrypted, with its own state
path) is left to the XML editor, and a host without swtpm says so.
A running VM got its new CD-ROM on SCSI, the one bus the panel could plug
in then, and Windows does not see a virtio-scsi drive before the driver
on that ISO is installed. Add CD-ROM is now a dialog that chooses the bus
and the ISO: a running VM takes USB, first, which every guest sees and
which hot-plugs, or SCSI; a shut-off one SATA (IDE on pc), SCSI or USB.
libvirt has no empty USB drive, so a USB CD-ROM takes its ISO when it is
added and is detached instead of ejected, also while the VM runs.
A USB CD-ROM is a CD drive on QEMU's usb-bot only. Where QEMU has none
(RHEL 9), libvirt took usb-storage, which shows the guest a hard disk
that Windows does not read; the drive now asks for usb-bot, and such a
host refuses it with libvirt's message.
Windows 11 does not install without Secure Boot and a TPM 2.0, and the new
VM form offered neither: its firmware list was BIOS and one UEFI loader
guessed from file names, which on RHEL never matched the Secure Boot one.
The firmware choices are now BIOS, UEFI and UEFI Secure Boot, as the
host's libvirt reports them (its firmware features from libvirt 12.1,
before that its loaders), and libvirt picks the firmware itself: UEFI
without Secure Boot, or with Microsoft's keys enrolled. A TPM 2.0 switch,
shown when the host has swtpm, adds an emulated TPM. The create job
refuses a firmware or a TPM the host does not offer, and the API takes
both. The path-guessing helpers are gone.
The Turkish catalog had not been extracted since 2024: of the panel's
1727 messages, 817 were missing and 489 carried old fuzzy guesses, so
most pages, dialogs and messages showed in English, and some fuzzy
guesses said something else.
The catalog is extracted again (obsolete entries dropped) and every
message is translated, the earlier terms kept (Sanal Makine, Sunucu,
Depolama havuzu, Birim, Anlık görüntü), placeholders and markup checked
against the English. The Settings page's names and descriptions come
from the database through migrations that did not mark them for
translation; they are marked now (gettext_noop, the stored values
unchanged), so they are in the catalog too.
