Isn't this a dup of bug 627565, but the rhel6 case? Also, what does "works" mean in this context? "Suspend RHEL6 HVM guest to disk works with 1 vcpu and no pv_on_hvm driver" What is the expected result of the a "suspended to disk" guest? It doesn't seem like a feature a guest can use. But I could be wrong, please explain. (In reply to comment #5) > Isn't this a dup of bug 627565, but the rhel6 case?

But recently I found with pv_on_hvm driver it doesn't work and without pv_on_hvm driver it works. Here "works" means: 1) run a background process in the guest 2) echo disk > /sys/power/state, then guest's current status was saved and then the guest was destroyed 3) xm create the guest again, the background process is still running, the guest resumes its previous status. > "Suspend RHEL6 HVM guest to disk works with 1 vcpu and no pv_on_hvm driver" > > What is the expected result of the a "suspended to disk" guest?

Actually this is documented in Xen IEEE Test Plan: https://riddler.bne.redhat.com/IEEE_Test_Plans/en-US/RHEL/5.6/html/Xen_IEEE_Test_Plan/Test_design-Power_Management-ACPI.html I referred to kvm IEEE Test Plan when doing feature research, it support S3 and S4 for guest. So I guess rhel6 should support S4 as a xen HVM guest, if I'm right.

Cool that that works. Too bad it's broken with pv drivers. I'll see if Don has time to take a look, assigning to him for now.

Since the corresponding hypervisor support is not going to be fixed in RHEL5, this cannot be fixed in RHEL6 either. We should put together a knowledge base article or virtguide update, though. |
Created attachment 467913 [details] guest config file Description of problem: Suspend RHEL6 HVM guest to disk works with 1 vcpu and no pv_on_hvm driver, but once I add xen_pv_hvm=enable to guest command line, "echo disk > /sys/power/state" then recreate the guest will crash. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xen-3.0.3-120.el5 kernel-xen-2.6.18-236.el5 RHEL6.0 guest: kernel-2.6.32-71.el6 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create RHEL6 HVM guest with 1 vcpu, add pv_on_hvm=enable to guest kernel command line 2.Check whether S4 is supported, "cat /sys/power/state" 3.Trigger S4 from within guest, "echo disk > /sys/power/state" 4.Create the guest again Actual results: At step3, [root@dhcp-66-92-66 ~]# echo disk > /sys/power/state WARNING: g.e. still in use! WARNING: g.e. still in use! Power down. At step4, RHEL6 HVM guest fails to boot and crashes. Expected results: S4 for RHEL6 HVM guest should work even if we load pv_on_hvm driver. Additional info: S4 for RHEL6 HVM guest works with 1 vcpu and no pv_on_hvm driver. That is to say when create the guest again, the guest keeps the previous status before suspend to disk.
