[Xen-users] live migration with xen 2.0.7 with fibre channel on Debian - help needed
Hi, I''d like to test the stability of live migration during heavy load of domU. scenario: - both dom0s and domU are running on Debian Sarge. - script on dom0 triggers live-migration to the other dom0 - domU is running I/O tests, e.g. bonnie++ - domUs root- (ext3) and swap fs is stored on two partitions in a san - san is connected using fibre channel cards to both dom0s - san in dom0 works fine (tested with bonnie++ and own consistency test) observation: - migration works several times, usually something between 10 and 30 times - then something strange happens: A) either domU has completely disappeared on both dom0s xend.log on the target host of the last migration says: <snip> [2005-12-06 15:55:31 xend] INFO (XendRoot:113) EVENT> xend.console.create [14, 14, 9614] [2005-12-06 15:55:32 xend] INFO (XendRoot:113) EVENT> xend.domain.create [''debian1'', ''14''] [2005-12-06 15:56:02 xend] DEBUG (blkif:203) Connecting blkif to event channel <BlkifBackendInterface 14 0> ports=16:4 [2005-12-06 15:56:02 xend] DEBUG (XendDomain:244) XendDomain>reap> domain died name=debian1 id=14 [2005-12-06 15:56:02 xend] INFO (XendDomain:568) Destroying domain: name=debian1 </snip> xfrd.log on both dom0s says migration was successful OR B) domU is in paused-state on the target machine after migration, xend.log and xfrd.log seem to be ok on both dom0s domU _cannot_ be unpaused nor directly accessed using xm console xm vbd-destroy is working the only thing that can be done is xm destroy. The thing I am wondering about is why domU suddenly gets crashed after several successful migrations. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
