Hey all,
I've been attempting to get 'xm restore' (and thus 'xm migrate') to work
for a 32-bit HVM domU on a 64-bit dom0 running Xen 3.4.1-rc10. Has
anyone else been able to do so? I can boot the VM and work within it
just fine. The 'xm save' command also functions properly; issue is just
with 'restore' and therefore 'migrate'.
When I watch the system via "xm top" during the restoration process, I
do notice the memory allocation for the VM increase all the way to about
1024MB. Suddenly, the amount of memory allocated to the VM decreases by
a bit, and then finally the VM disappears.
It may be of interest that I don't have issues
saving/restoring/migrating 32-bit PV domU's on this same set of 64-bit
dom0's. This seems to be an issue only with HVM domU's.
The following is taken from /var/log/xen/xend.log and demonstrates the
failure:

One thing of interest I did also notice in the logs was during the "xm

Not sure if that xc_save error message has anything to do with this...
If there is any additional information you need, such as how I built Xen
or even the 'xm save' copy of the VM itself, just let me know and I'll
make it available.
Thanks.
