cgroup setting on dest host.)
Agreed, but that's a problem that I don't think we can solve except by
documenting the behavior. The libvirt documentation has always
clearly stated that the storage configuration must be the same on the
src and dst hosts. We are discussing altering that constraint here in
the case of medium that has been ejected, but I think we can be clear
that the constraint is not being removed and that a guest's storage
configuration must not be changed while a migration is in progress.
I thought the qemu folks were working on a series of patches to make
cd tray state part of the migration information. That is, if you
start a migration, then a guest ejects the cd, then the destination
will correctly see the ejected cd, even though the destination was
started with the tray closed. That is, libvirt should not have to
poll on cd tray state in order to correctly migrate, but should be
able to poll on cd tray state in order to report tray state to the
curious user.
Agree. I don't known they are working out such patches yet. Only known they
are trying to work out some event for the tray state.
The migration aspect of cd tray state generally has to be solved by
qemu - there's nothing libvirt can do if the guest changes cd tray
state after migration has started but before it has completed, unless
libvirt can poll the source after it has paused but before the
destination has been unpaused and issue appropriate monitor commands
on the destination to resync state; but that should only be necessary
if qemu doesn't migrate cd tray state in the first place, and requires
that qemu support tray state monitor commands for libvirt to use.
As far as I known, qemu still can only report the medium is ejected or
inserted soon via "info block", and without minitor commands to change
the tray state, or I missed something?
