[Xen-users] live migration with xen 2.0.7 with fibre channel on Debian - help needed

[Michael Mey <michael.mey@xxxxxx>]

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

[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.

Regards,

Michael
