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 Michal Privoznik 2012-10-18 07:56:35 UTC 
Description of problem:

Libvirt currently holds up migration and lets spice to migrate its internal data. During this, libvirt repeatedly asks 'query-spice' to determine if it has completed. Qemu replies with a boolean. However, libvirt expects string so the conversion will fail and libvirt simply fallbacks into pre-seamless mode by proclaiming migration as finished.

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

libvirt-0.10.2-2.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:

few times, when spice hasn't migrated its state yet and 'false' is reported to 'query-spice'

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

libvirt prematurely kills qemu

Expected results:

libvirt kills qemu after query-spice reported 'true'.

Additional info:

Comment 5 zhe peng 2012-10-25 08:25:17 UTC 
I can reproduce this with libvirt-0.10.2-2.el6.x86_64

verify with pkgs:
libvirt-0.10.2-5.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-323.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.320.el6.x86_64
spice-server-0.12.0-1.el6.x86_64
spice-gtk-0.14-4.el6.x86_64
spice-protocol-0.12.2-1.el6.noarch
spice-glib-0.14-4.el6.x86_64
virt-viewer-0.5.2-16.el6.x86_64

step:
 1: prepare two machine for migration 
 2: on source, create a windows guest with spice
 .....
  <graphics type='spice' autoport='yes' listen='0.0.0.0' keymap='en-us'>
      <listen type='address' address='0.0.0.0'/>
    </graphics>
 .....
 3: start guest ,use virt-viewer/remote-viewer to connect guest
  #virsh start $guest
  #virt-viewer $guest
  #remote-viewer spice://$source/?port=5901
 4: migrate guest to target
  #virsh migrate win7_64 qemu+ssh://target.redhat.com/system
 5: check qemu process,make sure seamless-migration=on
  #ps -ef | grep kvm
   .....
  -spice port=5901,addr=0.0.0.0,disable-ticketing,seamless-migration=on -k en-US -vga qxl -global qxl-vga.vram_size=67108864 -device qxl,id=video1,vram_size=67108864,bus=pci.0,addr=0x7 -device intel-hda,id=sound0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6
   .....
  6:after migrate finished,virt-viewer still connect the guest and worked well
  7:check libvirt log
 ...
