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.

Description Mike Cao 2010-06-04 06:56:47 UTC 
Description of problem:
Live migration cause qemu-kvm Segmentation fault (core dumped)by using "-vga std"

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


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.in the source host start VM by using 
#/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -rtc-td-hack -no-hpet -usbdevice tablet -drive file=win7-64.raw,if=ide,cache=none,werror=stop,rerror=stop -net nic,macaddr=20:aa:30:aa:40:aa,model=virtio,vlan=0 -net tap,script=/etc/qemu-ifup,vlan=0 -uuid `uuidgen` -boot c -cpu qemu64,+sse2 -smp 2 -m 4G -spice port=5920,disable-ticketing -vga std -balloon none -monitor stdio
2.in the dest host,start VM by using
#/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -rtc-td-hack -no-hpet -usbdevice tablet -drive file=win7-64.raw,if=ide,cache=none,werror=stop,rerror=stop -net nic,macaddr=20:aa:30:aa:40:aa,model=virtio,vlan=0 -net tap,script=/etc/qemu-ifup,vlan=0 -uuid `uuidgen` -boot c -cpu qemu64,+sse2 -smp 2 -m 4G -spice port=5900,disable-ticketing -vga std -balloon none -monitor stdio -incoming tcp:0:5888
3.connet the guest in the source host :./spicec <source host ip> 5920&
4.connet the guest in the dest host:./spicec <dest host ip> 5900&
5.do live migration (qemu)migrate -d tcp:<ip>:5888


Actual results:
qemu-kvm in the dest host will be core dumped.

Expected results:
Guest should work on well in the dest host.


Additional info:
repeat the steps WITHOUT step4 ,will not hit the issue.
using -vnc instead of "-spice" ,repeat the steps above will not hit the issue.
Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2010-06-04 09:23:13 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release.  Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.
Comment 3 Gerd Hoffmann 2010-06-04 11:59:29 UTC 
FYI: Instead of step (4) you should use the
'__com.redhat_spice_migrate_info $desthostname 5900' monitor command on the source host.  spicec will automatically reconnect to the destination host then after successful migration.
Comment 4 Gerd Hoffmann 2010-06-08 12:58:55 UTC 
Patches for bug #597198 (already posted) happen to fix this one too.
