Description Mark McLoughlin 2007-03-30 13:54:11 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #221268 +++

Description of problem:
If you have a guest running with a name greater than 17 characters in length,
the /etc/init.d/xendomains script will fail to save it upon shutdown.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xen-3.0.3-17.el5

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. xm rename demo  12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890
2. /etc/init.d/xendomains stop
3.
  
Actual results:
# /etc/init.d/xendomains  stop
Shutting down Xen domains: 12345678901234567(save)Error: Domain
'890123456789012345678901234567890' does not exist.
Usage: xm save <Domain> <CheckpointFile>

Save a domain state to restore later.
!(shut)Error: Domain '890123456789012345678901234567890' does not exist.
Usage: xm shutdown <Domain> [-waRH]

Shutdown a domain.


Expected results:
Guest is saved

Additional info:

If you look at the shell code in /etc/init.d/xendomains there's this interesting
function


parseln()
{
    name=`echo "$1" | cut -c0-17`
    name=${name%% *}
    rest=`echo "$1" | cut -c18- `
    read id mem cpu vcpu state tm < <(echo "$rest")
}

which is used to parse the output of 'xm list'. The 'cut -c0-17' bit looks
like the obvious problem - truncating the name at 17 characters :-(
Comment 1 Mark McLoughlin 2007-03-30 13:56:32 UTC 
Yep, confirmed. The weirdness comes from the fact that "xm list" used to only
allow 16 characters for the domain name.

Best fix is probably to use "xm list -l" instead of "xm list" ... that way we'll
get the full name.

Okay, I suggest something like this (untested) patch ... it's not a bug many
people are going to hit, though, so let's delay this until after Fedora 7

Closing as UPSTREAM, not really worth backporting.
