Hi Justin,

I can offer some free time:)


I'd be willing to contribute to a wiki if we had the docs in a wiki.

Re: [libvirt] virsh migrate with libvirt-0.5.1: failed to start listening VM

Hello,
I was trying to migrate a KVM/QEMU VM running on a Fedora 10 host to
another F10 host. Both machines have identical architectures (x86_64)
and are running identical versions of libvirt and KVM
(libvirt-0.5.1-2.fc10.x86_64, kvm-74-10.fc10.x86_64). However, the
migration fails:

# virsh migrate jhrozek-f11-minimal
qemu+ssh://someothersystem.example.com/system
libvir: QEMU error : operation failed: failed to start listening VM

On the target host, the logfile
/var/log/libvirt/qemu/jhrozek-f11-minimal.log says:
qemu: could not open disk image /var/lib/libvirt/images/jhrozek-f11-minimal.img

Which seems rather odd, isn't libvirt supposed to copy the image file?

Is this supposed to work? Is there any way to debug the problem? I
skimmed through RH Bugzilla and googled a bit but haven't found much
clue.


You're supposed to have /var/lib/libvirt/images mounted via shared storage 
(nfs/cifs/etc) on both machines.

Yeah, that's just not going to work.  In theory it might work, but it's never
been tested, so I'm not surprised it doesn't.  In general migration is extremely
finicky when it comes to CPU versions, and versions of the software.

If you are interested in debugging it more, I would suggest stopping libvirtd on
both sides, starting them back up by hand with:

LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1 /usr/sbin/libvirtd --verbose --listen

And then re-running your test.  That will dump lots of debugging information on
both machines, and you might be able to get somewhat of a better idea of what is
happening.


Host 1:

[r...@vm1 ~]# rpm -q libvirt
libvirt-0.6.2-12.fc11.x86_64

[r...@vm1 ~]# uname -r
2.6.29.5-191.fc11.x86_64

Host 2:

[r...@vm2 ~]# rpm -q libvirt
libvirt-0.6.2-12.fc11.x86_64

[r...@vm2 ~]# uname -r
2.6.29.5-191.fc11.x86_64

Host 2 doesn't want to start with --verbose:

08:16:44.859: debug : virEventInterruptLocked:635 : Skip interrupt, 0 0
08:16:44.859: debug : virEventAddHandleImpl:111 : Add handle 11 13 0x412c70

08:16:44.868: error : Cannot access CA certificate 
'/etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem': No such file or directory


What's weird is, if I start the service it works fine. It only errors about 
that cacert if I do it raw. I can't find any reference to cacert in my 
config. Help!

[libvirt] F11 and KVM Migrations

2009-07-08 Thread Scott Baker
I have two host machines on the same subnet, and I have 
/var/lib/libvirt/images shared between the two via NFS. I'm trying to do a 
migration from one host to another and I'm getting an error.


virsh # migrate --live Narwhal qemu+ssh://10.1.1.1/system
error: operation failed: failed to start listening VM

That's from the host running the VM to the new host. I'm assuming you have 
to do a push migrate, not a pull? Where can I look next to figure out 
why it didn't work?

   Hum that sounds familiar, what versions of libvirt are you running on
both nodes, look at /var/log/libvirt/qemu/Narwhal.log on the target for
informations. I suggest to make sure that you get up2date and similar
versions on both sides to avoid extra troubles.


Host 1: libvirt-0.6.2-12.fc11.x86_64
Host 2: libvirt-0.6.2-12.fc11.i586

Both machine are 64 bit, Host 2 is just running i386 code. Will that be a 
problem?


If I check Narwhal.log there is nothing in there at the time of the 
migration error. Nothing in messages either. As far as I can tell it just 
fails silently.
