      <pre wrap="">... AFAIR, in the patchset which is part of qemu-kvm-ev, a lot
of devices are disabled for security/safety/auditing reasons,
and new, stable machines are added (rhel*).

When QEMU migrates, again to another qemu or to file, among other
things it needs to freeze and serialize device state.
The format of this device state can change across versions, even though
it usually changes in forward compatible way.

So, the problem *could* be that the resuming QEMU doesn't know how
to handle some device, or cannot understand the stored format.

This is the reason why *I believe* this flow is not supported.
But of course the last word is on the QEMU(-kvm[-ev]) devs.

    </blockquote>
    Any chance that other upgrades [1] (ie. device-mapper) could
    invalidate the state file?<br>
    <br>
    Now, how can I tell Engine or VDSM to discard the state file (to not
    try reading the invalid state file during next startup) and recover
    this VM?<br>
