[libvirt-users] P2P live migration with non-shared storage: fails to connect to remote libvirt URI qemu+ssh

Migration without --p2p works just fine, ie. the below works: $ virsh migrate --verbose --copy-storage-all \ --live cvm1 qemu+ssh://kashyapc@devstack3/system Migration: [100 %] Result: - On the source host, the guest is shut off - On the destination host, the guest is live migratied successfully Migration with "--p2p" fails, a simple test below: First, I should note, I didn't modify any settings in /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf on both source and destination hosts, except for libvirt logging filters. (0) On source and destination hosts, SSH keys are setup so that passwordless auth works: $ ssh-keygen -t $ eval `ssh-agent` $ ssh-add .ssh/id_rsa $ ssh-copy-id root@devstack3 (1) Check if the connection to the remote host works w/o a prompt for user credentials (the below works as user and root): $ virsh -c qemu+ssh://kashyapc@devstack3/system Welcome to virsh, the virtualization interactive terminal. Type: 'help' for help with commands 'quit' to quit virsh # (2) Perform peer to peer live migration (as root): $ virsh migrate --verbose --p2p --copy-storage-all \ --live cvm1 qemu+ssh://kashyapc@devstack3/system error: operation failed: Failed to connect to remote libvirt URI qemu+ssh://kashyapc@devstack3/system: Cannot recv data: Permission denied, please try again.
