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 9 Lingfei Kong 2014-02-14 07:05:10 UTC
I did migration test on RHEL5.10 with RHEL7.0, it got 7-15 packet lost during the migration.
Also I have try to set the net.ipv4.conf.{all,default,IFACE}.arp_notify sysctl to 1 in the guest and did migration test again but the network still lost about 7-15 packet. 
Is it acceptable with lost 7-15 packet? 

Host: kernel-xen-2.6.18-380.el5
Guest: kernel-3.10.0-86.el7

Here are the details:
1. Start nfs in System A and mount the nfs to System B.
  #mount $SystemA_ip:/var/lib/xen/images /var/lib/xen/images

2. Edit "/etc/xen/xend-config.sxp" on two machines as following:
   (xend-relocation-server yes)
   (xend-relocation-port 8002)
   (xend-relocation-address '')
   (xend-relocation-hosts-allow '')
# service xend restart

3. Do migration operations
System A to System B:
--- 10.66.85.222 ping statistics ---

rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.552/2.155/18.863/4.389 ms

Yeah, that's fine. Thanks.

Comment 11 Lingfei Kong 2014-02-14 08:17:42 UTC
Because 7-15 packet lost is acceptable, so change status to VERIFIED.
