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

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.
