Description Atsushi SAKAI 2006-11-13 05:26:18 UTC
Description of problem:

Write the /local/domain/<domid>/vm node early in the startup process
(immediately after the domain is created).  QEMU needs this in place when it
starts up, in order to find the VNC password.
If it does not exists,  DomHVM reboots  failed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

1 (of 4 try)

Steps to Reproduce:

  1) Assign multiple vcpu to Dom0
    i.e. "dom0_vcpu_pin dom0_max_vcpus=4"
    2) Create DomHVM
    xm create xxxx
    3) DomHVM reboots after 20 seconds.
    xm reboot DomID
    4)Confirm DomHVM reboots or not.
    xm list
    5)check qemu-dm is defunct or not by ps command
     check "xs_read(): uuid get error" in /var/log/xend/qemu-dm's log

  
Actual results:

qemu-dm process defunct some times.(1 of 4times try)

Expected results:

DomHVM reboots successfully.

Comment 1 Larry Troan 2006-11-14 16:09:52 UTC
Per issue tracker 106713, this apears to be Xen-IPF only.

Comment 2 Atsushi SAKAI 2006-11-15 03:23:31 UTC
This bug is related to x86 and IPF.
But our concern is Xen-IPF only
