Description Masahiro Matsuya 2010-05-26 05:16:20 UTC
Description of problem:

To migrate to the specified hostname (of ip address), it's needed that --migrateuri option is specified as below.

 # virsh migrate --live su21k003 qemu+ssh://sk010002-hb/system tcp:sk010002-hb

But, this doesn't work because the post number is not specified. The upstream has a fix for this problem. I will attach a backported patch. This is tesed by a customer and it worked well.

As a backgrand of this issue, Live Migration of KVMs uses wrong interface in cluster even when migration_mapping cluster option is used. It always uses the interface on the public network, though this customer expected that the interface on the private network was used. This cause is that rgmanager doesn't use --migrateuri option for that. A new bugzilla should be created for this rgmanager's bug. On the other hand, I think that it's not good idea that rgmanager always uses a same port number. Rather than it, the port number should be assigned dynamically by the fix of this bugzilla. So, to fix this customer's problem, we need to fix libvirt and rgmanager. This bugzilla was created for the libvirt issue.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

libvirt-0.6.3-33

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Assuming that the destination hostname is 'sk010002-hb' and the kvm guest name is 'su21k003':

1. Run virsh migrate --live su21k003 qemu+ssh://sk010002-hb/system tcp:sk010002-hb

Actual results:

The migration failed with "error: invalid argument in URI did not have ':port' at the end"

Expected results:

The migration finishes without any errors.

backported patch

This was tested by a customer, and it worked well.

Comment 2 Chris Lalancette 2010-05-26 12:46:00 UTC
Yeah, this looks reasonable.  I'll take a look.

Update backport of upstream patch

Here's a slightly updated version of the same patch.  It's exactly the same as the previous except it has a minor bugfix in the case that uri_out is NULL.

Comment 4 Johnny Liu 2010-06-07 11:04:45 UTC
Verified this bug with and PASSED.

Reproduced on old version libvirt package:

# rpm -q libvirt
libvirt-0.6.3-33.el5
# virsh migrate --live test qemu+ssh://10.66.70.86/system tcp:dhcp-66-70-86.nay.redhat.com
root.70.86's password: 
error: invalid argument in URI did not have ':port' at the end

Verified this bug with the latest version:

# rpm -q libvirt
libvirt-0.6.3-34.el5
# virsh migrate --live test qemu+ssh://10.66.70.86/system tcp:dhcp-66-70-86.nay.redhat.com
root.70.86's password: 

Migration is done successfully

Comment 5 Jiri Denemark 2010-09-02 11:59:34 UTC
Fixed in libvirt-0.8.2-1.el5

Comment 7 Vivian Bian 2010-10-20 08:09:01 UTC
tested with 
RHEL5u6-Server-x86_64-kvm 
kernel-2.6.18-227.el5
kvm-83-205.el5
libvirt-0.8.2-7.el5

Steps to VERIFY
# virsh migrate --live test qemu+ssh://10.66.70.86/system
tcp:dhcp-66-70-86.nay.redhat.com
root.70.86's password: 

Migration is done successfully

So set bug status to VERIFIED
