Description Chris Lalancette 2009-09-17 14:31:52 UTC
Description of problem:
I'm trying to do live migration testing with Fedora 12 as part of the Virtualization test day.  However, when I have both the source and destination machine of the migration in Enforcing mode, the migration fails to complete.  Just for reference, the idea behind live migration in libvirt with qemu is:

1)  Run a Prepare step on the destination of the migration.  This chooses a port between 49152 and 49216, and starts up the qemu container on the destination side listening to this port.

2)  Run a Perform step on the source side of the migration.  This actually performs the migration.

3)  Run a Finish step on the destination side of the migration.  In the case of failure, it cleans up the qemu container.  In the case of success, it unpauses the guest and sets it running.

What I'm seeing is that the first step, Prepare, is completing successfully.  However, the Perform step seems to be hanging up, and I'm seeing this in /var/log/audit/audit.log:
