I am working with virsh
The version of VIRSH as it shows is :
virsh # version
Compiled against library: libvir 0.4.4
Using library: libvir 0.4.4
Using API: QEMU 0.4.4
Running hypervisor: QEMU 0.9.1
Under virsh I do the following :
1. suspend a running VM
2. save it to a file with the 'save' command
3. restore the saved domain file with the 'restore' command while the
domain is still in the suspend mode
or after it was shutdown/destroyed (not seen with 'list --all)
In either case I get the error message saying :
virsh # restore /home/dubi/xml/vm_dubi2.sav
libvir: QEMU error : operation failed: failed to start VM
error: Failed to restore domain from /home/dubi/xml/vm_dubi2.xml
Any idea what is the failure reason ?
The content of the saved domain file isattached:

Check the /var/log/libvirt/qemu/$HOME.log file for more information from
QEMU

Here is the /var/log/libvirt/qemu/vm_dubi2.log file. It shows a trailing
'-incoming stdio' which is rejected by QEMU,
The rest is correct and is probably the translation of the XML.
The XML as appears in the saved file vm_dubi2.sav (also below) looks
fine . But that file has some prefix binary section which I do not know
its content
Again , the saved VM state file is :

Forgot to say: I am working with kvm-72
Does that have implication on the correctness of the save/restore of VM
state ?

Save-restore on upstream kvm versions is rather error prone.
I'm note sure one version is better than the other. Evan today mainline
kvm's
migration is not stable. We'll send patches this week to fix that.
So bottom line, if it works for you, use it.

Thanks
a Question if I may.
Are you familiar with the cpuTime of a VM that we get by libvirt from
virDomainInfoPtr struct .
Is that the real cpuTime of all the vcpus of a VM together ?
e.g if I sample this cpuTime at 2 times apart by 'n' secs and get
cpuTime1 and cpuTime2 , then if the VM has 4 vcpus and they are fully
utilized,
I will get : (vcpuTime- vcpuTime1) = 4 *n . That is each of the 4
vcpus are fully utilizing the 'n' secs .
thanks
