Hi Nick, I had this problem myself a while ago and it turned out the issue was DNS related (one of the hosts couldn't do a DNS lookup on the name registered to the other host so it failed with a strange error.) The best way to diagnose a migration failure is probably with the /var/log/vdsm/vdsm.log file (might be vdsmd instead of vdsm) I'd recommend ssh'ing into both hosts and run the following command: tail -f /var/log/vdsm/vdsm.log |egrep -v 'DEBUG|INFO' |tee /tmp/migrate.log Then attempt the migration. When the GUI says the migration has failed hit Control-C in both windows to stop capturing the log. You can then go through the logfiles (stored in /tmp/migrate.log) to find the actual error message and post it to the list. If you can't find the error you might want to upload the logfiles somewhere and post the URLs to the list so some of the devs or power users can better diagnose the problem.

Dear Sirs

I'm writing to ask a question about the live migration on my oVirt setup.

I'm currently running oVirt 3.6 on a virtual test enviroment with 1 default cluster (2 hosts, CentOS 7) and 1 Gluster enabled cluster (with 2 virtual storage nodes, also CentOS7).

My datacenter has a shared data and iso volume for the two hosts (both GlusterFS)

Problem: When i try to migrate my VM (Tiny Linux) from host1 to host2 the operation fails.

Question: What log should I check to find a more detailed error message or do you have an idea what the problem might be?

Googling around, I found: - http://vaunaspada.babel.it/blog/?p=613 - http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.ovirt.user/32963

I suggest to start from there. Maybe someone can write a page in ovirt website about how to diagnose live migration issues.

...

Kind Regards

Nick Vercampt
