[libvirt] Virsh migrate --live fails

Hi, I'm trying to live move a domU using virsh migrate command: [root@RHEL53Xen1 ~]# xm list Name ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State Time(s) Copy_RHELVM3 1 511 1 -b---- 898.3 Domain-0 0 1507 4 r----- 133702.5 [root@RHEL53Xen1 ~]# virsh migrate --live Copy_RHELVM3 xen+ssh://15.154.102.20 error: server closed connection [root@RHEL53Xen1 ~]# However the same works using xm migrate --live. The source and the destination are RHEL 5.3 Xen hosts. Libvirt: [root@RHEL53Xen1 ~]# rpm -qa | grep libvirt libvirt-0.3.3-14.el5 libvirt-devel-0.3.3-14.el5 libvirt-cim-0.5.1-4.el5 libvirt-python-0.3.3-14.el5 Xen: [root@RHEL53Xen1 ~]# rpm -qa | grep xen xen-3.0.3-80.el5 xen-libs-3.0.3-80.el5 xen-devel-3.0.3-80.el5 kernel-xen-2.6.18-128.el5 I was earlier getting the error - "can't connect: Name or service not known". So, installed libvirt-0.6.4 as mentioned in the following link: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=348861 After installing libvirt-0.6.4, I'm getting "server closed connection" error. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks, Sandeep

Often this is because libvirtd crashed. After this command, check that libvirtd is still running, and if not, you might want to collect the core dump from it and get the output of "thread apply all bt".

Libvirt:
[root@RHEL53Xen1 ~]# rpm -qa | grep libvirt libvirt-0.3.3-14.el5 libvirt-devel-0.3.3-14.el5 libvirt-cim-0.5.1-4.el5 libvirt-python-0.3.3-14.el5
At this point, though, this is an ancient libvirt. I would suggest at least upgrading to the RHEL-5.4 version of libvirt, and see if you can reproduce the issue. If you can, then I would try again with the recently released 0.7.1, and if you are still having problems, then collect the information like I mentioned above. -- Chris Lalancette

Hi Chris Lalancette, Thanks for responding to my e-mail. I tried the virsh migrate --live command and checked for the libvirtd service. It is still running.
