Hi,

I need some help about VM live migration (block migration). I am running 1 controller and 2 compute nodes in a devstack environment with stable/kilo branch. I have configured nova.conf with live_migration_flag by following openstack documentation (http://docs.openstack.org/admin-guide... configure libvirtd to listen on tcp but I do not see vm migrate to new compute node when I use command 

nova live-migrate --block-migrate UUID NEW_NODE

nova.conf (libvirt section)

[libvirt]
vif_driver = nova.virt.libvirt.vif.LibvirtGenericVIFDriver
inject_partition = -2
live_migration_uri = qemu+ssh://stack@%s/system
live_migration_flag=VIR_MIGRATE_UNDEFINE_SOURCE,VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER,VIR_MIGRATE_LIVE
use_usb_tablet = False
cpu_mode = none
virt_type = qemu

libvirtd.conf

listen_tls=0
listen_tcp=1
tcp_auth="none"

libvirtd is listening on 16509

$ sudo netstat -anp | grep 165
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:16509           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      18946/libvirtd
tcp6       0      0 :::16509                :::*                    LISTEN      18946/libvirtd

Errors under nova log.

Any help?

Thanks, Hardik

Hi,

the error message is clear "Live migration of instances with config drives is not supported in libvirt unless libvirt instance path and drive data is shared across compute nodes."

What kind of shared storage do you use ? NFS or Ceph ? If you don't use a shared storage you cannot use live migration.

Otherwise, if you have a shared storage you can check if you have setting force_config_drive different from None in nova.conf.

What version of openstack do you use ?

Salvo.

Hi Salvo,

Thanks for your reply. I do not have any shared storage and that is the reason I am trying block migration. My understating is that you do not need shared storage if you do block migration. is that correct?

I am using stable/kilo openstack version.

Have you enable libvirtd_opts="-d -l" in /etc/default/libvirt-bin ?

yes it is already enabled. I tired with following "live migration url" in the nova.conf but no success in any case.

live_migration_uri = qemu+ssh://stack@%s/system 
live_migration_uri = qemu+tcp://%s/system

Resolved issued by setting up following in the nova.conf with the latest release of openstack.

force_config_drive = False
config_drive_format = vfat
