[Xen-devel] Migrate/Save of 32-bit domU Broken on Xen 3.1.2 64-bit dom0



Hey all,

So it looks like the xc_save utility has issues saving a 32-bit paravirtualized domU on a 64-bit dom0. As a result, live migration of 32-bit PV VM's (between 64-bit dom0's) also does not work. However, I am able to "xm save" and "xm migrate" 64-bit PV domU's on those same 64-bit dom0's without encountering issues.

Has anybody else run into save/migrate issues of 32-bit domU's on 64-bit dom0's? Do you know of a fix or workaround?

The 32-bit domU's I'm working with have kernels which are compiled with PAE (HIGHMEM64G=y) support. Additionally, both of these machines are of identical hardware configuration (Dell PowerEdge 1950's) and have been setup exactly the same.

Here is a snippit of output from /var/log/xen/xend.log:

I'm not sure if this is related, but I also see messages such as the following in "xm dmesg":
(XEN) event_channel.c:231:d3 EVTCHNOP failure: domain 1, error -17, line 231
(XEN) event_channel.c:231:d4 EVTCHNOP failure: domain 4, error -17, line 231

I suspect they're just a result of the save failures.

Any help would be *greatly* appreciated!

Thanks!
