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 Yang Yang 2016-08-31 02:28:44 UTC 
Description of problem:
I have a running vm using qcow2v3 image on source host. I migrate vm
with copy-storage-all flag. After migration, libvirt generates a qcow2v2 image
on target host.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
on both source and target:
libvirt-2.0.0-6.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.6.0-22.el7.x86_64


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start vm with qcow2v3 image on source

# qemu-img info /var/lib/libvirt/images/RHEL-7.3-latest.qcow2
image: /var/lib/libvirt/images/RHEL-7.3-latest.qcow2
file format: qcow2
virtual size: 5.0G (5368709120 bytes)
disk size: 1.3G
cluster_size: 65536
Format specific information:
    compat: 1.1
    lazy refcounts: false
    refcount bits: 16

<disk type='file' device='disk'>
      <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2' io='threads' ioeventfd='on' event_idx='off' detect_zeroes='on'/>
      <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/RHEL-7.3-latest.qcow2'/>
      <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>
      <boot order='1'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x0b' function='0x0'/>
    </disk>

# virsh start vm-mig
Domain vm-mig started

2. migrate vm with copy-storage-all flag
# virsh migrate vm-mig qemu+ssh://hp-dl385g7-05.lab.eng.pek2.redhat.com/system --verbose --live --unsafe --copy-storage-all
root.eng.pek2.redhat.com's password:
Migration: [100 %]

3. check image on target
# qemu-img info /var/lib/libvirt/images/RHEL-7.3-latest.qcow2
image: /var/lib/libvirt/images/RHEL-7.3-latest.qcow2
file format: qcow2
virtual size: 5.0G (5368709120 bytes)
disk size: 5.0G
cluster_size: 65536
Format specific information:
    compat: 0.10
    refcount bits: 16


Actual result:
virsh migrate --copy-storage-all genrates a qcow2v2 image on target even if qcow2v3 image is used on source

Expected result:
Images on both source and target should keep identical

Additional info:
Addressed libvirtd.log on target host:

Comment 3 Michal Privoznik 2017-04-12 08:30:31 UTC 
Now that I'm thinking about this, is this really a problem? I mean, with storage migration the whole backing chain is flattened, so different compat version is the least problem. Therefore I'm inclined to close this. Any objections?
Comment 4 Michal Privoznik 2017-04-25 08:48:36 UTC 
Okay. I'm closing this one. If somebody feel otherwise, please feel free to reopen and state why this matters.
