Status in QEMU: Confirmed Bug description: Tested with upstream qemu as of Jun 3 2010 If the source qemu instance can't connect to the migration destination (say there is no listening QEMU instance, or port is blocked by a firewall), all we get is info migrate -> Migration status: failed. This is all we have to report back to libvirt users if their firewall is misconfigured, which is crappy. Ideally, if we can't connect, migration would fail immediately with a relevant message and strerror(). More info from 'info migrate' would be nice too, no idea how this will play with QMP though. As a slightly related issue, try entering migrate tcp:127.0.0.0:6000 We get a 'migration failed' error, and then the monitor hangs!
