[Xen-devel] RE: Win2003R2 64 suspend failed in self live migration
Thanks, James.
I was able to log out by KeRaiseIrql(HIGH_LEVEL, &old_irql) to raise irq to HIGH_LEVEL.
And later, I also found that the cause of failure of self live migration. Nothing to do with PV driver.
That is in my env I specified vifname for Guest, so after self migration there will be vifname
conflict, and the new vif will failed to be renamed, and thus failed to be add into bridge.
Which results in net lost inside Guest and finally furthur migration failed since vif can not suspend
anymore.
Thanks for your help.
