Hi,
I''m trying to migrate 2 VMs from one host to another, both hosts are
centos 5.4 64bit
one vm is fc12, the other is xp. The migration items in the configs
have been modified to permit this.
[root@virtual0 ~]# xm migrate WINXP_1 virtual1
Error: /usr/lib64/xen/bin/xc_save 22 5 0 0 4 failed
Usage: xm migrate <Domain> <Host>
Migrate a domain to another machine.
Options:
-h, --help Print this help.
-l, --live Use live migration.
-p=portnum, --port=portnum
Use specified port for migration.
-r=MBIT, --resource=MBIT
Set level of resource usage for migration.
both hosts have the same version(s) installed
[root@virtual1 ~]# rpm -qa | grep xen
kernel-xen-2.6.18-194.32.1.el5
kernel-xen-2.6.18-164.el5
xen-libs-3.0.3-105.el5_5.5
xen-libs-3.0.3-105.el5_5.5
xen-3.0.3-105.el5_5.5
I''ve tried using the virt-manager as well, same effect (I guess this
is just a gui frontend to the same commands)

For example GPLPV drivers for Windows.don''t know but this issue relates to both VM''s XP & fc) _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
my mistake that is the kernel for the guest, the host is running 2.6.32.26-174.2.xendom0.fc12.x86_64 _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Yeah, if you had those installed I would have suggested to try without. -- Pasi _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
