so , i finally had time to do some tests, and i got some new informations :
- i reinstalled 2 of my virtualization servers on ubuntu 18.04.6
- 1 older ( Intel Xeon E5-2640 v4 2.40GHz )
- 1 newer ( Intel Xeon Gold 5215 2.50GHz )
- first, i can confirm that with ubuntu 18.04.6 ( kernel 4.15.0-204 ) i do not have the problem
i can migrate VM from new system to older system and reverse without any issue.
- i installed (manually) a kernel 5.15.0-56 ( ubuntu 2204 ) on both 1804 servers,
and reboot to this kernel ( without changing anything else )
- with kernel 5.15.0-56, i can reproduce the problem each time :
- migrate VM from older system to newer always works
- migrate VM from newer system to older always crash the VM
this is a bit different though, the VM is tagged as "paused",
and if i try to virsh resume, i got :
error: Failed to resume domain devansible01
error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'cont': Resetting the Virtual Machine is required
the only thing i can do is virsh destroy and virsh start
since i did not change qemu version, i seems that this is a kernel issue.
i plan to do the opposite test : reinstall both servers in ubuntu 2204, and downgrade the kernel
hopefully by the end of the week, i will let you know.
