Dr. David Alan Gilbert 2023-02-22 12:22:30 UTC Doc Text Cause:
Live migrating between hosts with different physical address size limits may not work, especially with OVMF based VMs. This is most likely when having a mix of Xeon E3 systems in a cluster together with larger CPUs.

Consequence:
Live migrations fail with an error
'vm failed with "failed to set MSR 0x202 to 0x380000000000"'
when migrating towards the CPU with the smaller physical address space

Workaround (if any):

Result:

Doc Text Cause:
Live migrating between hosts with different physical address size limits may not work, especially with OVMF based VMs. This is most likely when having a mix of Xeon E3 systems in a cluster together with larger CPUs.

Consequence:
Live migrations fail with an error
'vm failed with "failed to set MSR 0x202 to 0x380000000000"'
when migrating towards the CPU with the smaller physical address space

Workaround (if any):

Result:
.Live migrating VMs to hosts with smaller physical address space sometimes fails

Currently, attempting to migrate a running virtual machine (VM) in some cases fails with the following error:

----
failed to set MSR 0x202 to 0x380000000000"
----

This problem occurs most frequently when the destination VM host uses a CPU with a smaller physical address space than the source host, and has mainly been observed on clusters that contain Xeon E3 systems.
