Description libvirt should fail migration and provide error msg when migration from a newer host to an older. Version: rhel6.5:libvirt-0.10.2-29.el6_5.2.x86_64 rhel7.0:libvirt-1.1.1-14.el7.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1:prepare two host,on with rhel6.5, the other is rhel7.0 2:prepare a healthy guest on rhel6.5 host 3:migrate the guest to rhel7.0, it can worked well. 4:migrate the guest back to rhel6.5 # virsh migrate --live rhel6 qemu+ssh://10.66.84.16/system --verbose root.84.16's password: Migration: [100 %] it seems worked, but actually, qemu-kvm can't support this, after migration, the guest can't be used. so libvirt should forbid this action, and provide some error msg to customer. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Knowing what versions of qemu-kvm are able to migrate between each other is not a libvirt's business. I'm moving this bug to QEMU for investigating why the guest doesn't work after migration while migration seems to have succeeded.
FYI Bug 1027572 - [RFE]should support migration from RHEL7.0 host to RHEL6.5 host(CLOSED WONTFIX )
