Description of problem:

Customer would like to configure kvm compute resource via a non-standard ssh port. Currently its looks like its binded on port 22.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 6.4

Additional info:

Trying to configure compute resource on non-standard ssh port fails with the below error.

Unable to save
Error making a connection to libvirt URI qemu+ssh://root@192.168.122.1:2222/system: Call to virConnectOpen failed: Cannot recv data: ssh: connect to host 192.168.122.1 port 2222: Permission denied: Connection reset by peer

We have also tried to Configure Custom Connection Options by putting the below entry in .ssh/config:

Host home
HostName kvm.example.com
User root
Port 2222

and with the below url:

qemu+ssh://root@192.168.122.1/system

But it still fails that its not able to connect to port 2222. A tcpdump on the satellite shows that the satellite is still trying to connect to port 22. So it looks like this configuration is hard coded somewhere.
