Description of problem: I'm testing Live Migration feature of libvirt, and when I run the migration command, "migration failed" error occurs.(The same when I remove "--live") Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): * kernel-2.6.33.1-19.fc13 * libvirt-0.7.7-1.fc13 * python-virtinst-0.500.2-3.fc13 * qemu-0.12.3-6.fc13 * seabios-0.5.1-1.fc13 * virt-manager-0.8.3-2.fc13 How reproducible: Unknown. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Stop firewall and selinux on both source and dest machine. 2.Start the guest machine on source. 3.Run "virsh migrate --live fedora qemu+ssh://10.66.65.51/system" Actual results: error: operation failed: migration to 'tcp:live.localdomain:49167' failed: migration failed "libvirt -v" on source machine: 14:44:23.080: error : qemuMonitorTextMigrate:1126 : operation failed: migration to 'tcp:live.localdomain:49167' failed: migration failed libvir: QEMU error : operation failed: migration to 'tcp:live.localdomain:49167' failed: migration failed "libvirt -v" on dest machine: libvir: error : Unknown failure Additional info: I changed /etc/hosts on dest machine like this, because of an "internal error canonical hostname pointed to localhost, but this is not allowed" error: [root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/hosts 10.66.65.51 live.localdomain live ::1 localhost.localdomain localhost6
If you alter /etc/hosts and want migration to work, the hostname you add needs to resolve from other machines, which live.localdomain probably does not. Closing as a dup of, which is tracking migration error reporting issues. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 499750 ***
