Hi all,
This is something I posted earlier on Xen-Users. I understand it is a known
problem so you may be interested in this workaround.
cheers,
John
Hi John-
Thanks a lot, that did the trick. Have you sent this to the Xen-Devel
list? If not, I bet they would be interested.
Anyway, thanks again!

Hi Patrick,
I'm wondering if this is related to the problem I had and posted on the
xen-users list with a work-around. The symptoms are similar in that
xm_save fails but the debug output is slightly different, but that may
be due to environmental differences.
original post follows.

Hi all,
Just installed Xen from the base FC5 released on Monday.
It all seems to work great except for "xm save/migrate" which fails with
"Unable to get platform info.: 9" at XendCheckpoint:227.
Playing around with it I found that there is a program called xc_save
which is called from XendCheckpoint.py and passed in a file handle for
the xend session and the target file named on the command line. These
handles seem to be closed when xc_save exec's, so subsequent calls into
Xen by xc_save fail. I got it to work by adding...
from fcntl import ioctl;
FIONCLEX = 0x5450
near the top of XendCheckpoint.py
and...
ioctl (fd, FIONCLEX, 0)
ioctl (xc.handle(), FIONCLEX, 0)
at the beginning of forkHelper.
I'm presuming that there are people in the world that this program works
for!!! So am I missing a python config item somewhere? Or what am I
doing wrong that I need this incantation ?
thanks
John
