Description Jim Klein 2007-02-16 15:21:18 UTC
Virtual console no longer works after migrating a domain from one box to
another. DomU is still fully functional in every other respect and accessible
via xm, ssh, etc.

Comment 1 Daniel Berrangé 2007-02-21 16:35:41 UTC
Not enough info to diagnose the problem - please provide at the very least

 - RPM versions for  'xen', 'libvirt' and 'virt-manager' in your Dom0
 - The kernel version used in the guest DomU
 - The '/var/log/xend.log' & xend-debug.log from both source & destination
machine involved in the migration
 - The /etc/xen/<name>  config file for the guest VM being migrated

Are you referring to the graphical console, or the text (serial) console of the VM ?

libvirt-0.1.7-2, virt-manager-0.2.6-3, xen-3.0.3-0.1.rc3, kernels
2.6.18-1.2747,2.6.18-1.2798, 2.6.18-1.2869


Logs attached. These are fresh logs after a RHEL5 migrate from source to dest
and back again. Problem also occurs with Fedora domUs running any of the above
kernels.

Graphical console.

Comment 7 Daniel Berrangé 2007-02-22 19:40:34 UTC
Ok, these package versions show you're using a version of the kernel/xen with
the old style paravirt framebuffer protocol. This original implemnetation did
not support migration. Prior to RHEL-5  GA we merged a new style framebuffer
implementation which does support migration.

The fix is in the following versions (or later):

kernel-xen-2.6.18-7.el5
xen-3.0.3-17.el5

They will be included in the RHEL-5  GA release.
