Does that have implication on the correctness of the save/restore of VM state ?


Save-restore on upstream kvm versions is rather error prone.
I'm note sure one version is better than the other. Evan today mainline kvm's
migration is not stable. We'll send patches this week to fix that.

So bottom line, if it works for you, use it.

I am working with virsh
The version of  VIRSH as it shows is :
virsh # version
Compiled against library: libvir 0.4.4
Using library: libvir 0.4.4
Using API: QEMU 0.4.4
Running hypervisor: QEMU 0.9.1

Under virsh  I do the following :
1. suspend a running VM 2. save it to a file with the 'save' command 3. restore the saved domain file with the 'restore' command while the domain is still in the suspend mode
    or after it was shutdown/destroyed (not seen with 'list --all)
    In either case I get the error message  saying :

   virsh # restore /home/dubi/xml/vm_dubi2.sav
  libvir: QEMU error : operation failed: failed to start VM
  error: Failed to restore domain from /home/dubi/xml/vm_dubi2.xml

Any idea what is the failure reason  ?

Check the /var/log/libvirt/qemu/$HOME.log file for more information from
QEMU
