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.

Fixed In Version: qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.297.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: live migration format for the hda-audio device has changed due to a bugfix Consequence: migration from new to old qemu version failed with hda sound active because the old qemu doesn't understand the new migration format. Fix: send old migration format when -M $oldversion is used. Result: migration works.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2013:0527 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE qemu-kvm bug fix and enhancement update 2013-02-20 21:51:08 UTC

Description Qunfang Zhang 2012-05-15 11:01:04 UTC 
Description of problem:
Migrate guest from rhel6.3 host to rhel6.1 host with "-M rhel6.1.0" and with intel-hda sound device, migration always failed. QEMU on dst side prompts:
savevm: unsupported version 2 for 'hda-audio' v1
load of migration failed

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.32-270.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.292.el6.x86_64 & qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.293.el6.x86_64 
seabios-0.6.1.2-19.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always (about 3/5)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot guest with intel-hda sound device on rhel6.3 host
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M rhel6.1.0 -enable-kvm -m 1024 -smp 2 -name rhel6.3-64 -uuid 4c21b4e8-de85-4e31-89b6-8b746d1eeca2 -rtc base=localtime,clock=host,driftfix=slew -boot c  -drive file=/mnt/RHEL-Server-6.3-64-virtio.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=qcow2,werror=stop,rerror=stop -device ide-drive,bus=ide.0,unit=1,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0 -netdev tap,id=hostnet1,script=/etc/qemu-ifup,downscript=no -device rtl8139,netdev=hostnet1,id=net1,mac=64:31:50:41:e1:13 -netdev tap,id=hostnet3,script=/etc/qemu-ifup,downscript=no -device e1000,netdev=hostnet3,id=net3,mac=64:31:50:41:b1:e3  -monitor stdio -qmp tcp:0:5555,server,nowait -spice port=9000,disable-ticketing -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,id=0x6 -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,max_ports=16,vectors=17,bus=pci.0,addr=0x7 -chardev socket,path=/tmp/qzhang-test,server,nowait,id=isa1 -device isa-serial,chardev=isa1,id=isa-serial1 -device intel-hda,id=sound0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x8 -device hda-duplex 

2. Boot guest on 6.1 host with listening mode "-incoming tcp:0:5800"

3. Migrate guest from rhel6.3 host to rhel6.1 host.

4. If step 3 pass, repeat ping-pong migration
  
Actual results:
Guest always failed to load migration on rhel6.1 host:
(qemu) handle_dev_destroy_surfaces: 
qxl_worker_loadvm_commands: 
handle_dev_input: loadvm_commands
handle_dev_destroy_surfaces: 
savevm: unsupported version 2 for 'hda-audio' v1
load of migration failed


Expected results:
Migration succeed.

Comment 3 Qunfang Zhang 2012-05-21 07:50:25 UTC 
Re-test this scenario between RHEL6.2 and RHEL6.1 hosts. And 6.2->6.1 has the same problem migration failed.
Comment 12 Qunfang Zhang 2012-11-28 04:16:02 UTC 
Reproduced with the command line and steps in bug description between qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.295.el6.x86_64.rpm and qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.160.el6.x86_64.

Verified pass between a rhel6.4 host with the following version and a rhel6.1 one with -M rhel6.1.0.
rhel6.4 version:
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.337.el6.x86_64
rhel6.1 version:
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.160.el6.x86_64

And also test migration with sound device between two rhel6.4 host, passed.

CLI:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M rhel6.1.0 -enable-kvm -m 1024 -smp 2 -name rhel6.3-64 -uuid 4c21b4e8-de85-4e31-89b6-8b746d1eeca2 -rtc base=localtime,clock=host,driftfix=slew -boot c  -drive file=/opt/rhel6.3-64-virtio.raw,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=raw,werror=stop,rerror=stop -device ide-drive,bus=ide.0,unit=1,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0 -netdev tap,id=hostnet1,script=/etc/qemu-ifup,downscript=no -device rtl8139,netdev=hostnet1,id=net1,mac=64:31:50:41:e1:13 -netdev tap,id=hostnet3,script=/etc/qemu-ifup,downscript=no -device e1000,netdev=hostnet3,id=net3,mac=64:31:50:41:b1:e3  -monitor stdio -qmp tcp:0:5556,server,nowait -spice port=9001,disable-ticketing -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,id=0x6 -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,max_ports=16,vectors=17,bus=pci.0,addr=0x7 -chardev socket,path=/tmp/qzhang-test,server,nowait,id=isa1 -device isa-serial,chardev=isa1,id=isa-serial1 -device intel-hda,id=sound0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x8 -device hda-duplex

So, this bug is fixed.
