Alright, just verified it. A vm started on a 6.3 host can be successfully migrated to the new 6.4 host and then back to any other 6.3 host. It just won't migrate a vm started on 6.4 to any host running 6.3.
This surprises me. Engine should have used the same emulatedMachine value, independent of the initial host. Could you share the vdsm.log lines mentionioning "emulatedMachine" in both cases?
Dan.
Hi Dan, sorry for coming back this late. I checked it and the default emulatedMachine is pc. And machine pc differs in the definition between 6.3 and 6.4. virsh 6.3: <guest> <os_type>hvm</os_type> <arch name='x86_64'> <wordsize>64</wordsize> <emulator>/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm</emulator> <machine>rhel6.3.0</machine> <machine canonical='rhel6.3.0'>pc</machine> <machine>rhel6.2.0</machine> <machine>rhel6.1.0</machine> <machine>rhel6.0.0</machine> <machine>rhel5.5.0</machine> <machine>rhel5.4.4</machine> <machine>rhel5.4.0</machine> <domain type='qemu'> </domain> <domain type='kvm'> <emulator>/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm</emulator> </domain> </arch> <features> <cpuselection/> <deviceboot/> <acpi default='on' toggle='yes'/> <apic default='on' toggle='no'/> </features> </guest> virsh 6.4: <guest> <os_type>hvm</os_type> <arch name='x86_64'> <wordsize>64</wordsize> <emulator>/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm</emulator> <machine>rhel6.4.0</machine> <machine canonical='rhel6.4.0'>pc</machine> <machine>rhel6.3.0</machine> <machine>rhel6.2.0</machine> <machine>rhel6.1.0</machine> <machine>rhel6.0.0</machine> <machine>rhel5.5.0</machine> <machine>rhel5.4.4</machine> <machine>rhel5.4.0</machine> <domain type='qemu'> </domain> <domain type='kvm'> <emulator>/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm</emulator> </domain> </arch> <features> <cpuselection/> <deviceboot/> <acpi default='on' toggle='yes'/> <apic default='on' toggle='no'/> </features> </guest> Regards Patrick -- Lobster LOGsuite GmbH, Münchner Straße 15a, D-82319 Starnberg HRB 178831, Amtsgericht München Geschäftsführer: Dr. Martin Fischer, Rolf Henrich
