RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Jiri Denemark 2015-04-20 14:38:22 UTC 
Description of problem:

virDomainGetJobStats is able to report statistics of a completed migration, however to get usable downtime and total time statistics both hosts have to keep synchronized time. To provide at least some estimation of the times even when NTP daemons are not running on both hosts we could just ignore the time needed to transfer a migration cookie to the destination host. The result will be also inaccurate but a bit more predictable. The total/down time will just be at least what we report.

    migration: Usable time statistics without requiring NTP
    
    virDomainGetJobStats is able to report statistics of a completed
    migration, however to get usable downtime and total time statistics both
    hosts have to keep synchronized time. To provide at least some
    estimation of the times even when NTP daemons are not running on both
    hosts we can just ignore the time needed to transfer a migration cookie
    to the destination host. The result will be also inaccurate but a bit
    more predictable. The total/down time will just be at least what we
    report.

verify with build:
libvirt-1.2.17-2.el7.x86_64

step:
1:prepare migration env. use nfs to share storage.
 stop NTP on both hosts
#systemctl status ntpd
 ntpd.service - Network Time Service
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/ntpd.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)

2:set source host's time later than target
3:do migration
# virsh migrate --live rhel6 qemu+ssh://$target_ip/system --verbose
Migration: [100 %]
4: on target, check migration statistics
# virsh domjobinfo rhel6 --completed
