Summary: Live migration of very large vm get's stuck
Product: Virtualization
Version: unspecified
Kernel Version: 2.6.32-131.6.1.el6.x86_64
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: high
Priority: P1
Component: kvm
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Regression: No
We have several high load Tomcat servers virtualized on Scientific Linux via
KVM.
Configuration is between 10 and 30 GB of RAM and between 8 and 12 cores per VM.
What i can see so far is, that after round about 20% of migration the progress
get's slower and slower and finally the migration runs into a timeout,
sometimes also with a broken source vm, means stuck and needs to be rebootet :(
Both hypervisor servers are connected via 1 GB interface, so bandwidth should
be fine.
The Hypervisors are Intel modular server blades with 2x6cores and 96GB of RAM,
connected to a shared storage.
>From theory i would asume two possible explanations:
1. dirty RAM is changing too frequently and migration is transfering slower
than the changes are differing in size
2. Too much CPU's and therefore running threads break down migration
performance
If one of theese explanations is true, this is not a bug, but a problem ;)
