Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.

Comment 1 Daniel Veillard 2011-01-28 08:10:32 UTC
I think at least the first patch should really go in, this may impact RHEV too
as they use p2p migrations,

Daniel

Comment 3 weizhang 2011-02-14 10:43:58 UTC
verify pass on 
libvirt-0.8.7-6.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.144.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-113.el6.x86_64

reproduce the bug with 
libvirt-0.8.7-3.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.144.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-113.el6.x86_64

Steps:
1. Prepare 2 hosts and setting
#setsebool -P virt_use_nfs 1
on both sides
2. #iptables -F
3. mount nfs on both sides and prepare 20 guest with name mig{0..19}
4. For walking around another bug need to add hostname and ip of each other on /etc/hosts of the two hosts
5. on source host
  a. on one console do
  #while(true); do for i in {0..19}; do virsh domblkinfo mig$i /mnt/mig$i; done;done
  b. on another console do
  #sh migrate.sh
  on migrate.sh is
  #!/bin/sh
  for i in {0..19}
  do
        virsh migrate --p2p --live mig$i qemu+ssh://{dest ip}/system &
  done

Sometimes it may report error on libvirt-0.8.7-3.el6.x86_64
# virsh list
error: unable to connect to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock', libvirtd may need to be started: Connection refused
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
# service libvirtd status
libvirtd dead but pid file exists

for libvirt-0.8.7-6.el6.x86_64 migration always succeeds and libvirtd is still running after migration. So verify pass.
