Subject: [pve-devel] [PATCH v3 qemu-server 0/2] remote-migration: migration with different cpu
Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2023 01:29:43 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230927232945.44215-1-aderumier@odiso.com> (raw)
This patch series allow remote migration between cluster with different cpu model.
2 new params are introduced: "target-cpu" && "target-reboot"
If target-cpu is defined, this will replace the cpu model of the target vm.
If vm is online/running, an extra "target-reboot" safeguard option is needed.
Indeed, as the target cpu is different, the live migration with memory transfert
is skipped (as anyway, the target will die with a different cpu).
Then, after the storage copy, we switch source vm disk to the targetvm nbd export,
then shutdown the source vm and restart the target vm.
(Like a virtual reboot between source/target)
Changelog v2:
The first version was simply shuting down the target vm,
wihout doing the block-job-complete.
After doing production migration with around 400vms, I had
some fs corruption, like some datas was still in buffer.
This v2 has been tested with another 400vms batch, without
any corruption.
Changelog v3:
v2 was not perfect, still have some 1 or 2 fs corruption with vms doing
a lot of write.
This v3 retake idea of the v1 but in a cleaner way
- we migrate disk to target vm
- source vm is switching disk to the nbd of the target vm.
(with a block-job-complete, and not a block-job-cancel with standard disk migration).
We are 100% sure it that no pending write is still pending in the migration job.
- source vm is shutdown
- target with is restart
We have redone a lot of migration this summer( maybe another 4000vm),
0 corruption, windows or linux guest vms.
