libvirt: serial console service causes live migration to fail

[Alexander Schmidt]

When I try to live migrate an instance that uses the serial console, the migration fails due to a libvirt error.

I do not have a solution for this problem yet, please let me know if anyone else hits this or if it might be a configuration problem.

Command I ran:

# nova live-migration demo-3

Logs on the source hypervisor:

Could that be a duplicate to bug 1455252 ?
