When trying to migrate a VM the destination libvirtd virGetHostnameLocalhost throws an internal error. I issue this command from the source host. > virsh migrate rel-vm1 qemu+tls://croton/system error: internal error canonical hostname pointed to localhost, but this is not allowed The destination host throws the error: 14:14:57.914: debug : virDomainMigratePrepare2:3740 : dconn=0xed17e0, cookie=0x7f983a352d68, cookielen=0x7f983a352d74, uri_in=(null), uri_out=0xe8c360,flags=0, dname=(null), bandwidth=0, dom_xml=<domain type='kvm' id='1'> <name>rel-vm1</name> <uuid>c0c98fc9-8cd6-e246-a06e-b5ce37c4f05e</uuid> <memory>262144</memory> <currentMemory>262144</currentMemory> <vcpu>1</vcpu> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-0.11'>hvm</type> <boot dev='hd'/> </os> <clock offset='utc'/> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>destroy</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm</emulator> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <source file='/share/images/nagin/rel-vm1/rel-vm1.img'/> <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/> <alias name='ide0-0-0'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' unit='0'/> </disk> <controller type='ide' index='0'> <alias name='ide0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x1'/> </controller> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/> <graphics type='vnc' port='5900' autoport='yes'/> <video> <model type='cirrus' vram='9216' heads='1'/> <alias name='video0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </video> </devices> </domain> 14:14:57.914: error : virGetHostnameLocalhost:2372 : internal error canonical hostname pointed to localhost, but this is not allowed libvir: error : internal error canonical hostname pointed to localhost, but this is not allowed 14:14:57.914: debug : remoteSerializeError:141 : prog=536903814 ver=1 proc=108 type=1 serial=3, msg=internal error canonical hostname pointed to localhost, but this is not allowed The libvirt version is the tip of git: [root@croton rel-vm1]# virsh version Compiled against library: libvir 0.7.7 Using library: libvir 0.7.7 Using API: QEMU 0.7.7 Running hypervisor: QEMU 0.12.1 Changing qemudDomainMigratePrepare2 call to virGetHostnameLocalhost from: if ((hostname = virGetHostnameLocalhost(0)) == NULL) to: if ((hostname = virGetHostnameLocalhost(1)) == NULL) seems to fix the problem. But maybe this is only masking a another problem. --Kenneth Nagin -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
