Subject: [PATCH qemu-server v3 17/21] migration: intra-cluster: check config can be parsed on target node
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 18:08:23 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260918160841.128088-18-f.ebner@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260918160841.128088-1-f.ebner@proxmox.com>
For remote migration, we already check that the config can be parsed
on the target. Do the same for intra-cluster migration, to avoid
issues like [0] for future new settings, with lines being unexpectedly
and relatively silently dropped (there are warnings in the target's
system logs, but nothing else).
Unfortunately, before commit "qm: mtunnel: reply when a command is
unknown", which is part of the same patch series, when a command is
unknown, mtunnel did not reply at all. Therefore, check that the
target node is recent enough to support the new mtunnel command.

The node version might need to be adapted when applying!
Changes in v3:
* add skip-config-check flag rather than re-using force.
* check node version to decide if too old or not.
