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.

1:qemu log during migration failure

Description of problem:

I tried the steps that are known to work for rdma live migrations on x86_64.
The migration fails with an error.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-9.0.0-7.el9.s390x

How reproducible:
100%


Steps to Reproduce:

0. Use two systems, each with device
     Ethernet controller: Mellanox Technologies MT27710 Family [ConnectX-4 Lx Virtual Function]
   They must have the same PCHID, which can be checked e.g. via smc_rnics

1. Load necessary kernel modules ib_ipoib mlx5_ib ib_umad rpcrdma ib_srpt ib_iser ib_isert

2. Install necessary packages libibverbs librdmacm infiniband-diags

3. Use ibstat to confirm the ethernet controllers are
     State: Active
     Physical state: LinkUp
     Link layer: Ethernet

4. Assign local address to the network interfaces and confirm they can communicate via ping, e.g.
     ip a add 192.168.100.2/24; ping 192.168.100.3

5. Configure and restart virtqemud, activate all entries for cgroup_device_acl
	"/dev/null", "/dev/full", "/dev/zero",
	"/dev/random", "/dev/urandom",
	"/dev/ptmx", "/dev/kvm", "/dev/kqemu",
	"/dev/rtc","/dev/hpet", "/dev/vfio/vfio",
	"/dev/infiniband/rdma_cm",
	"/dev/infiniband/issm1",
	"/dev/infiniband/umad1",
	"/dev/infiniband/uverbs1"

6. Create shared storage for the VM qcow2 (e.g. NFS: nfs-utils, /etc/export: /nfs *(rw,no_root_squash,async); systemctl restart nfs-server)

7. Turn off firewall

8. Set memory limits on VM
   <memtune>
       <hard_limit unit='KiB'>1048576</hard_limit>
       <swap_hard_limit unit='KiB'>2097152</swap_hard_limit>
   </memtune>

9. Start VM

8. Migrate VM:
   virsh migrate --live --migrateuri rdma://192.168.100.2 rhel7 --listen-address 0 qemu+ssh://192.168.100.2/system --verbose


Actual results:
error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'migrate-incoming': unknown migration protocol: rdma:0:49152

Expected results:
The migration succeeds.

Additional info:
1. The original instructions at hand included more steps that I decided were unnecessary (or didn't work when I tried after building the rpms from srpm)
 a. use opensm to make sure the devices can communicate for step 4; they already could communicate without this
 b. use mstconf to set the link layer type; I couldn't change this so I took the preset Ethernet
2. Attach virtqemud debug log
3. The kernel modules weren't initially built, I'll share a link to the kernel config and my rpms in a private comment

Comment 1 smitterl 2023-03-01 18:29:55 UTC
I'm not sure this ever worked so I'm setting severity low.

Comment 7 smitterl 2023-04-13 09:19:23 UTC
RDMA live migration not supported on s390x.
