Dear All,
I have upgrade my hypervisors:
qemu-kvm 0.12.5 => 1.1.2
libvirt-bin 0.8.3-5 => 0.9.12.3
(debian6 to debian7)
After that upgrade, i noticed that live migration was most of the time
failing (freeze) (not always)
I also noticed that creating a machine with the updated hypervisor was
always working.
After some days of investigation mainly on network side, i found this
setting that seems to fix the issue in the xml:
<os>
<type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-0.12'>hvm</type>
<boot dev='hd'/>
</os>
replacing pc-0.12 with pc-1.1 seems to fix the issue.
Here are my questions :
1) what is the meaning/purpose of that setting ? (i guess it is somehow
linked to the version of kvm ;) )
2) can i just change it in all xmls ? ( i have plenty of linux/windows
flavors running in my vms)
3) is it possible to put a more generic value? So we don't have the same
issue on next upgrade.
4) Is there a script/doc that explains what needs to be done on the vm
itself (xml or other) when we upgrade libvirt/kvm ?
Thanks for the feedback !
Benoit.
