Subject: [Bug 1759] Xen 4.0.1 live migration/restore over-writes new hypervisor's boot-time record
Date: Wed, 13 Apr 2011 09:25:46 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110413162545.GA29815@lumida.com> (raw)
It was suggested that I submit this to xen-devel in addition to the bug report.
I am having the exact problem described in bug 1282. The RedHat 5 errata for
Xen 3 describes the problem nicely so I will quote it:
xen calculates its running time by adding the hypervisor's up-time to the
hypervisor's boot-time record. In live migrations of para-virtualized
guests, however, the guest would over-write the new hypervisor's boot-time
record with the boot-time of the previous hypervisor. This caused
time-dependent processes on the guests to fail
This bug was apparently fixed in 3.1.1
(http://xenbits.xen.org/hg/xen-unstable.hg/rev/359707941ae8) but I am having
the issue now with Xen 4.0.1 on Debian Squeeze.
Did something change with the migrate/restore process so the previous fix no
longer applies?
Thanks in advance for any help
