Description Vinzenz Feenstra [evilissimo] 2014-02-28 11:43:54 UTC 
Description of problem:
When a migration times out and gets cancelled a misleading message is reported.


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change migration_max_time_per_gib_mem in VDSM to a smaller value (5) 
2. Start a migration
3. When it fails due to timeout you'll find the following message in the event log of the RHEVM Webadmin: 

> Migration failed due to Error: Migration not in progress (VM: a, Source: host1, Destination: host2). 

Actual results:
The error messages says that the migration failed because it is not in progress.
> Migration failed due to Error: Migration not in progress (VM: a, Source: host1, Destination: host2). 

Expected results:
Migration failed due to Error: The migration timed out and has been cancelled. (VM: a, Source: host1, Destination: host2).
Comment 1 Vinzenz Feenstra [evilissimo] 2014-02-28 11:46:12 UTC 
A bit more clarification: "When a migration times out and gets cancelled"
Should be "When a migration gets cancelled because it timed out"
Comment 2 Michal Skrivanek 2014-10-30 09:48:49 UTC 
didn't make 3.5
Comment 3 Michal Skrivanek 2015-09-04 10:02:04 UTC 
we still didn't really figure out how to approach this
Comment 4 Michal Skrivanek 2016-04-22 14:50:04 UTC 
hopefully wont' happen so much once migration improvements are done in 4.0
