Description of problem: the following scenario was tested as a part of DW effort and found problematic. synopsis: guest machine console hung (stop responding from inside guest) after migrating guest from source server who lost connection to storage server. scenario: starting with 3 hosts, one acts as SPM, guest machine runs on non-spm machine, them, communication between non-spm machine running the host and storage server is blocked, guest machine goes to pause, then, proactively or not (admin\rhevm) guest is migrated to destination server (that can communicate to storage), migration succeeds, thus, when accessing guest using console (vnc), trying to type user name and hit enter, guest stuck. this was reproducible on all 5 guests. please note that mount type on all hosts was 'hard' and not 'soft'. repro steps: 1) make sure you have at least 2 hosts, better use 3. 2) make sure to use NFS storage with hard mounts 3) start guest machine on host A 4) block communication between host A to storage server (using iptables on storage side) 5) perform I\O action on guest so it pauses 6) migrate guest to host B and resume it 7) open console to guest and try to run some I/O I think we need to debug it with 'gdb' in order to extract logs.
vdsm22-4.5-62.26.el5_5rhev2_2 kvm-83-164.el5_5.23 kernel-2.6.18-194.17.1.el5
please note that guest machine reported as running, however, it can't be used, this is a very bad user experience, I would have expect guest go to pause non-responding, as currently there is no indication something is wrong.

Actually I don't know whether I fully understood the comment #0.Following is my steps. 1.configure nfs server ＃cat /etc/sysconfig/nfs LOCKD_TCPPORT=32803 LOCKD_UDPPORT=32769 MOUNTD_PORT=892 STATD_PORT=662 2.use RHEL5 host to mount the nfs host A:#mount <nfs-ip>:/home /opt host B:#mount <nfs-ip>:/home /opt 3.start VM in host A and do some I/O operations: eg: /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M rhel5.6.0 -m 2G -smp 2 -name win2k3_64 -uuid 12bb419b-8730-cbbd-b0d9-168fa4225b6d -monitor stdio -boot c -drive file=/opt/fedora.img,if=ide,boot=on,format=raw,cache=none,werror=stop -net nic,macaddr=54:52:00:0e:bf:a1,vlan=0 -net tap,script=/etc/qemu-ifup,vlan=0 -serial pty -parallel none -usb -vnc :1 -k en-gb -vga cirrus -balloon virtio 4.start listenning port on host B; 5.block communication between host A to storage server eg :on the nfs server host #iptables -I INPUT -s <host A's ip> -m udp -p udp --dport 111 -j REJECT; #iptables -I INPUT -s <host A's ip> -m tcp -p tcp --dport 111 -j REJECT; #iptables -I INPUT -s <host A's ip> -m udp -p udp --dport 662 -j REJECT; #iptables -I INPUT -s <host A's ip> -m tcp -p tcp --dport 662 -j REJECT; #iptables -I INPUT -s <host A's ip> -m udp -p udp --dport 892 -j REJECT; #iptables -I INPUT -s <host A's ip> -m tcp -p tcp --dport 892 -j REJECT; #iptables -I INPUT -s <host A's ip> -m tcp -p tcp --dport 2049 -j REJECT; #iptables -I INPUT -s <host A's ip> -m udp -p udp --dport 2049 -j REJECT; #iptables -I INPUT -s <host A's ip> -m udp -p udp --dport 32803 -j REJECT; #iptables -I INPUT -s <host A's ip> -m tcp -p tcp --dport 32803 -j REJECT; #iptables -I INPUT -s <host A's ip> -m tcp -p tcp --dport 32769 -j REJECT; #iptables -I INPUT -s <host A's ip> -m udp -p udp --dport 32769 -j REJECT Actual Results: After step 5 ,the qemu-monitor in host A is freezed ,I can NOT input migration command it it 。 Additional info: after flush all the firewall rules on nfs server #iptables -F ,qemu-monitor works ,after execute migration command in qemu-monitor ,guest on host B works fine. bcao---->hateya Hi, Haim Is my steps belows right ? How did you do migrate operation after blocking communication between host A and storage server by using iptables ? Mike
