[libvirt] Save & Restore Synchronization

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I am using libvirt for qemu/kvm. I have following questions in terms of save and restore (Version 0.6.2):

1) As I checked the libvirt code, restore command is asynchronous. There is a macro called VIR_EXEC_NONBLOCK but there is no macro called VIR_EXEC_BLOCK. Is it possible to execute the restore in blocking mode so that I can measure the whole restore time?

2) I tried to measure the time spent to save the VM. I am executing save command and getting a timing. However when I execute the following operations in order I got an error right after script issues the restore operation (No delay between them):

"save->restore->save"

... the error is:

20:19:02.478: error : internal error Unable to open monitor path /dev/pts/3
libvir: QEMU error : internal error Unable to open monitor path /dev/pts/3
20:19:02.478: error : internal error unable to start guest: char device redirected to /dev/pts/3
inet_listen: bind(ipv4,127.0.0.1,5912): Address already in use
inet_listen: FAILED

libvir: QEMU error : internal error unable to start guest: char device redirected to /dev/pts/3
inet_listen: bind(ipv4,127.0.0.1,5912): Address already in use
inet_listen: FAILED
20:19:02.482: error : operation failed: failed to start VM
libvir: QEMU error : operation failed: failed to start VM
error: Failed to restore domain from /path/to/the/save/file
error: operation failed: failed to start VM

(You can find the detailed error report in the attachement when LIBVIRT_DEBUG flag is 1)

I think that some of the cleanup is non-blocking which are cleanup of pty device and vncserver. However, I am not sure if destroying the qemu process is asynchronous??

P.S.: If I put one second delay between first save and restore, there is no error. Save and restore work fine.

Thanks,
