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 of problem:
When do migration, pause the domain will cause migration error.
on 0.8.7-18 there is no problem, so it is a regression bug.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.32-171.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.172.el6.x86_64
libvirt-0.9.4-0rc1.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
80%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start domain "migrate"

   # virsh start migrate

2. wait for the domain fully started.

3. prepare migration environment and do migrate

   # virsh migrate --live migrate qemu+ssh://${dest_host_ip}/system  

4.Before step 3 finished,open the other terminal and suspend guest os on source host .

    # virsh suspend migrate
  
Actual results:
migration will report error:
error: An error occurred, but the cause is unknown

Expected results:

I was able to reproduce misbehavior on fairly recent source tree, but it appears to fixed in the current git HEAD, commit id:

c5b6537b1f1f3e126c2f06f84ca88fe3df6cde34

The only thing to note is that the domain will begin running on the dst host when the migration completes.  It's not entirely clear to me if that's a bug or not.

Comment 6 Vivian Bian 2011-09-26 05:08:15 UTC
tested with 
libvirt-0.9.4-12.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.192.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-197.el6.x86_64

Steps 
1. start domain "migrate"

   # virsh start migrate

2. wait for the domain fully started.

3. prepare migration environment and do migrate

   # virsh migrate --live migrate qemu+ssh://${dest_host_ip}/system  

4.Before step 3 finished,open the other terminal and suspend guest os on source
host .

Result:
Guest could be migrated successfully . So set bug status to VERIFIED
