Thread-topic: xm migrate --live never returns

I have two OpenSuse 10.2 boxen running on Del 1955 blades (Intel Woodcrest 5160)

and VT enabled in the BIOS. OpenSuse 10.2 uses xen-pae-3.0.3-11775-20.

 

Each box is running a dom0 (with the appropriate configuration for Xend to enable

migration).

 

I successfully execute:

 

% xm migrate –live <domid> <dest-ip>

 

The domU live-migrates to the other dom0 and arrives in a healthy state.

When I attempt the operation in reverse, the command hangs and never

returns.

 

On the sending dom0, the machine shows a name of:

 

migrating-test4

 

On the receiving dom0, the machine shows a state of –p----

 

What’s weird about this situation is that just yesterday I ran a ping pong test on the

two systems and watched them migrate back and forth every 19.1 seconds for like

20 minutes.

 

I interrupted the programs, twiddled a bit, and managed to crash xend on one of the

hosts. xend wouldn’t cleanup properly with “service xend restart”, so I rebooted the

host entirely.

 

No configuration changes have been made since the period that it worked.

 

This post from the archive in 2005 seems to be similar to what I am experiencing:
