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 Jiri Denemark 2012-08-06 13:50:08 UTC 
Description of problem:

URI parsing/formating in qemuMigrationPrepareDirect is not ready for IPv6
addresses:

        /* Get the port number. */
        p = strrchr (uri_in, ':');
        if (p == strchr(uri_in, ':')) {
            /* Generate a port */
            this_port = QEMUD_MIGRATION_FIRST_PORT + port++;
            if (port == QEMUD_MIGRATION_NUM_PORTS)
                port = 0;

            /* Caller frees */
            if (virAsprintf(uri_out, "%s:%d", uri_in, this_port) < 0) {
                virReportOOMError();
                goto cleanup;
            }

        } else {
            p++; /* definitely has a ':' in it, see above */
            this_port = virParseNumber (&p);
            if (this_port == -1 || p-uri_in != strlen (uri_in)) {
                virReportError(VIR_ERR_INVALID_ARG,
                               "%s", _("URI ended with incorrect ':port'"));
                goto cleanup;
            }
        }
    }

    if (*uri_out)
        VIR_DEBUG("Generated uri_out=%s", *uri_out);

    /* QEMU will be started with -incoming tcp:0.0.0.0:port */
    snprintf(migrateFrom, sizeof(migrateFrom), "tcp:0.0.0.0:%d", this_port);


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

libvirt-0.10.0-0rc0.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. virsh migrate qemu qemu+tcp://host2/system tcp:[fec0::2]
  
Actual results:

virsh # migrate qemu qemu+tcp://host2/system tcp:[fec0::2]
error: invalid argument: URI ended with incorrect ':port'


Additional info:

Using IPv4 address, migration works as expected:

virsh # migrate qemu qemu+tcp://host2/system tcp:192.168.123.12
Comment 1 Jiri Denemark 2012-08-16 07:41:04 UTC 
The last line from the code snippet

    snprintf(migrateFrom, sizeof(migrateFrom), "tcp:0.0.0.0:%d", this_port);

reveals another issue we have in IPv6 migrations. We tell qemu to listen on 0.0.0.0, that is, IPv4 only. We should allow it to listen on IPv6 as well, however, we need to do something more clever than tcp:[::]:%d since this wouldn't work if IPv6 was explicitly disabled on the host.
Comment 11 Ján Tomko 2013-02-18 15:51:41 UTC 
I proposed a fix upstream:

    qemu: Allow migration over IPv6
    
    Allow migration over IPv6 by listening on [::] instead of 0.0.0.0
    when QEMU supports it (QEMU_CAPS_IPV6_MIGRATION) and there is
    at least one v6 address configured on the system.
    
    Use virURIParse in qemuMigrationPrepareDirect to allow parsing
    IPv6 addresses, which would cause an 'incorrect :port' error
    message before.
    
    Move setting of migrateFrom from qemuMigrationPrepare{Direct,Tunnel}
    after domain XML parsing, since we need the QEMU binary path from it
    to get its capabilities.

Comment 25 Jiri Denemark 2013-07-10 09:15:24 UTC 
According to the log, it looks like the crash is similar to bug 982544. Could you provide backtrace of all libvirtd's threads when the deamon crashed?

This is the same crash as in bug 982544.

As Jiri Denemark said there:
