Bug 1015636

Same for me with virt-manager-0.10.0-4.git79196cdf.fc20.noarch:

libvirtError: internal error: unexpected migration status in setup

Root issue is likely that qemu 1.6 added a new migration status string "setup", this means the migrate job is in the works but hasn't started sending any data yet. Libvirt doesn't handle this state.

    rdma: introduce MIG_STATE_NONE and change MIG_STATE_SETUP state transition


Libvirt also has an 'inactive' string but qemu never returns that, maybe that should be removed.

I think for the most part setup == active, with no data reporting. Can probably stick a sleep in qemu to lengthen the setup period to more easily reproduce this.

I'm asking on the qemu list whether we should add a qemu patch to avoid the need to require a newer libvirt (by adding a new qemu migration capability that must be enabled before the new state is advertised); but meanwhile I agree that libvirt needs to be taught to learn this new state.

Sounds like qemu won't be making any changes; thus, we need the libvirt fix backported to any distro where we run new enough qemu.  Libvirt needs to be taught to recognize this particular new state, and to be made more tolerant so that any future new states are treated as active.

Hi, Eric, is there any progress about this bug fix?  

This problem has stopped me from upgrading qemu to 1.6.1. The libvirt "save" operation always fails with error "unexpected migration status in setup".

Patch is now upstream:

    Fix migration with QEMU 1.6
    
    QEMU 1.6.0 introduced new migration status: setup
    Libvirt does not expect such string in QMP and refuses to migrate with error
    "unexpected migration status in setup"
    
    This patch fixes it.
