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.
- A named CPU model is written without check='none' and with
fallback='forbid': libvirt checks before the start that the host runs
it, and it is not swapped for another model.
- Mode maximum is written as that mode; it was written as a model named
maximum.
- Model names up to 64 characters: the -noTSX and -IBRS models, the ones a
mixed set of hosts needs, were refused at 20.
- The mode or model is checked against the host's capabilities when the VM
is defined, from the page and the API alike; no CPU element (QEMU's
oldest default CPU) is no longer offered.
- The default CPU mode setting offers the modes the new VM dialog has;
no-model and custom, which matched none of them, become host-model.
The custom create form shows a MAC per network (random, or typed in),
but had no mac field: the script wrote the joined list into every
name="mac" input of the page, the other six-plus forms' own MAC fields,
so a flavor form then sent one MAC per custom network and was refused,
and the custom VM got other MACs from libvirt. The custom form gets its
own hidden mac field and the script writes only there. The field took
17 characters, one MAC, so the API also refused a VM with two NICs and
their MACs; it takes 255. The serializer's test sent no submission_key,
so its check for more MACs than networks never ran; it does now, next
to the case of two networks with two MACs.
131 test modules sat next to the code they test; instances alone had
51 of them beside views.py and utils.py. They move into a
tests/ package per app, and the JavaScript checks into
webvirtcloud/tests/js. Each non-empty tests.py becomes tests/test_views.py;
the empty generated stubs are removed.
Imports of the app's own modules become absolute, paths built from
__file__ go one level up, the live helper is instances.tests.livetest,
and coverage omits */tests/*. The suite discovers the same 960 tests as
before.
