There hasn't been a reply to my question in the last comment within months, so I assume nobody cares about this anymore. So I'm closing this ticket now...
** Changed in: qemu Status: Incomplete => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1192499 Title: virsh migration copy-storage-all fails with "Unable to read from monitor: Connection reset by peer" Status in QEMU: Won't Fix Status in libvirt package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in libvirt package in Fedora: Unknown Bug description: virsh migration copy-storage-all fails with "Unable to read from monitor: Connection reset by peer" and shut downs the guest on the source host. Kernel Version: 3.10.0-rc5+ Libvirt Version: 1.0.6 Qemu Version: 1.5.50 Steps to reproduce the issue: ---------------------------------------- 1. Created the qemu-img create -f qcow2 vm.qcow2 11G on the destination host which is same as the source. 2. Started the guest on the source 3. Started the vncdisplay to monitor the guest 4. Initiated the migration "virsh migrate --live VM1 qemu+ssh://host-ip/system tcp://host-ip --verbose --copy-storage-all" 5. It started the copying the storage from souce to destination (conitinously monitored it was growing) 6. Guest on the destination was paused and was running on the source 7. At some point the VM on the source got shutdown and migration failed with "Unable to read from monitor: Connection reset by peer" Attached the libvirt debug logs. The debug logs shows : 2013-06-19 08:43:12.253+0000: 4026: debug : virEventPollInterruptLocked:716 : Interrupting 2013-06-19 08:43:12.253+0000: 4026: debug : virEventPollAddTimeout:248 : EVENT_POLL_ADD_TIMEOUT: timer=1 frequency=0 cb=0x7fe930baa960 opaque=(nil) ff=(nil) Note: The virsh live migration works fine with nfs storage from source to destination and vice versa. With libvirt 1.0.5 and qemu 1.5 also we were facing the same issue, but with that even "Live migration with nfs also was not working".
