Description of problem: VMs with payload device (sysprep, cloud init) can no longer properly migrate if clusters <= 4.1 are upgraded with Vdsm >= 4.2, while still retaining the old clusterLevel. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Any Vdsm >= 4.2 in cluster <= 4.1 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Prepare a <= 4.1 oVirt environment, upgrade Vdsm to 4.2.2 in a cluster 2. Run a VM with either sysprep or cloud-init 3. Suspend the VM 4. Try to migrate (or suspend again) the same VM Actual results: The last migration/suspension will fail Expected results: Migration/suspension should succeed as usual Additional info: VMs without payload devices are not affected. Vdsm fail to properly store the information needed to rebuild the payload device past the first time, so after the first time the VM goes away (e.g. suspension, migration or even Vdsm restart), it can no longer rebuild it, and the corresponding VM device (e.g. cdrom) will be dangling, leading to migration failures.
no doc_text: this should "just work" and should not have user-visible consequences. Aka the behaviour should not have changed.
Verify with: Engine version:4.2.3.3-0.1.el7 Steps: 1. Create VM 2. Run VM with cloud init on 4.1 host in 4.1 cluster on rhevm 4.2.3 3. Check that VM has payload on the host. CASE 1: Migrate to 4.2 host CASE 2: Suspend VM and Resume the VM on 4.2 host. (host on cluster 4.1) PASS Payload exist on 4.2 host for both cases
