Subject: [PATCH qemu-server v4 22/27] migration: intra-cluster: check config can be parsed on target node
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2026 14:50:56 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261015125112.174954-23-f.ebner@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261015125112.174954-1-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.

Changes in v4:
* Chomp original error to avoid weird formatting.
* Adapt version.
