Description William H. Haller 2016-10-22 17:38:30 UTC

Description of problem: Using centos-qemu-vm tools, when a virtual is migrated from one host to another, the autostart is removed from the source host, but is not recreated on the destination host.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):1.2.17-13.el7_2.5. May well need to be a different component in qemu or kvm.


How reproducible: always


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Move via libvirt
2.
3.

Actual results: autostart flag is not created on target host if present on source host


Expected results: autostart status flag is created on target host if present on source host


Additional info:I know this is the centos-qemu-vm (required for snapshots), but I suspect it might be an issue with cor RHEL as well. If you migrate a host, it should retain the autostart feature if it was selected on the old host. We had an ASR last night on a HP host, but due to moving some virtuals around that day to balance over a new host, the flags weren't propagated. When the host came back up, it didn't start its virtuals.

Could you provide a little bit more details here, such as virsh command line or libvirt API and its parameters?

Comment 3 William H. Haller 2016-10-24 14:25:08 UTC

Libvirt version is 1.3.2

qemu-guest-agent 10:2.3.0-4.el7

qemu-img-ev, qemu-kvm-common-ev, qemu-kvm-ev, qemu-kvm-tools-ev 10:2.3.0-31.el7.16.1

Using qemu+ssh for connection.

Migrate mode direct via standard 49152 port. unsafe not checked, temporary move not checked.

Those are the only options I see on the GUI - but I'll provide any other info you need that I can find.

Comment 4 William H. Haller 2016-10-24 14:26:50 UTC

Also checked for selinux messages in audit log, but no references to anything in the autostart directory. The migrate itself works fine - just the autostart is missing.

Comment 5 William H. Haller 2016-10-24 14:30:23 UTC

Using virtual machine manager GUI version 1.3.2. Sorry - I'm usually better at bug reports.

Comment 6 zhe peng 2016-10-25 02:38:53 UTC

I can reproduce this with latest libvirt build: libvirt-2.0.0-10.el7.x86_64
on source:
# virsh list --all --autostart
 Id    Name                           State
----------------------------------------------------
 13    rhel7.3                        running

run migration cmd:
# virsh migrate --live rhel7.3 qemu+ssh://$target_host/system --verbose --persistent
Migration: [100 %]

check on target host:
# virsh list --all
 Id    Name                           State
----------------------------------------------------
 7     rhel7.3                        running

[root@dell-per730-37 ~]# virsh list --all --autostart
 Id    Name                           State
----------------------------------------------------
