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 nigil 2012-10-04 10:59:26 UTC
Description of problem:
Unable to migrate guest from 6.2 to 6.1(backward migration), neither through GUI nor through Command line. Getting an error message "internal error missing hostuuid element in migration data". But migration of VMs from 6.1 to 6.2 was successful and the issue observed when the same VMs are tried to migrate back.

How reproducible:
Install original enterprise edition of RHEL6.2 and RHEL6.2 as Virtualization servers on separate hosts. Configure network. Create VMs on both hosts and migrate VMs from RHEL6.2 to RHEL6.1. 

  
Actual results:
Unable to migrate guest from 6.2 to 6.1. error message "internal error missing hostuuid element in migration data"

Expected results:
Successfully migrate from 6.2 to 6.1 with out any IO failure.

Additional info:
1. Tried the following, but no use.
-Generated uuid : uuidgen
- vi  /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf and updated uuid for both the hosts.
- service libvirtd restart
- Migrate VMs, but same error.

2. Support page of RHEL does not include this issue in backward compatibility issue report/section.
https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Virtualization_Administration_Guide/Live_migration_and_RHEL_compatibility.html

3. Saw a similar discussion in the below link, but no conclusion.

Comment 4 zhpeng 2012-10-25 06:26:11 UTC
Test with: libvirt-0.10.2-5.el6.x86_64

migrate from RHEL.X to RHEL.Y (X > Y) successful.
migrate from RHEL.Y to RHEL.X (X > Y) successful.

guest xml:
virsh # dumpxml aaa
<domain type='kvm'>
...
  <os>
    <type arch='x86_64' machine='rhel6.1.0'>hvm</type>
    <boot dev='hd'/>
  </os>
...


So it's verified.
