[Bug 1695533] Re: Incorrect URL in XML used by libvirt to launch instance

 

I don't think that this is a valid bug, as the XML namespace URI is
usually not a "real" URI. In Wikipedia you will also find:

    "[...] the namespace specification does not 
    require nor suggest that the namespace URI 
    be used to retrieve information. [...]"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML_namespace

FWIW:
The XML metadata in the domain XML got introduced with commit
    https://github.com/openstack/nova/commit/bf02f13  
The blueprint is this:

Title:
  Incorrect URL in XML used by libvirt to launch instance

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I launched an instance using Devstack running on QEMU hypervisor. I
  dumped the XML of VM to see what things are getting configured and
  found a URL in the XML. The URL points to a page which no longer
  exists on the openstack.org website. I guess this URL gets embedded in
  each VM's XML. Though it does nothing (maybe pointing to the syntax
  used to define XML), and I am interested in this URL. I have filed
  this bug so that the URL can be corrected or can be removed from the
  XML. Attached is the full dumpxml. Here is a snippet of it:

    <metadata>
      <nova:instance xmlns:nova="http://openstack.org/xmlns/libvirt/nova/1.0";>
        <nova:package version="16.0.0"/>
        <nova:name>ttt</nova:name>

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Launch an instance
  2. Goto compute node where the instance is running.
  3. Do "virsh dumpxml <instance-name>"
  4. Check the URL in dumped output.
