libvirt requires a stream that did not finish to be aborted before it is
freed. The NVRAM download of a shut-off move and upload_volume (NVRAM
upload, cloud-init seed) freed theirs after a failed send, receive or
finish without aborting, on the shared host connection. They abort now;
upload_volume opens its stream before it makes the volume, so the
cleanup has both.
Two disks of a VM with the same file name in different directories
were both offered the same destination pool by default. The form was
sent, and the migration job refused it only then: both copies would
be one file.
The plan now gives each such disk, by default, a pool no earlier disk
of that name is copied into, and says under its choice that another
disk has the file name. A choice that still puts them in one pool is
refused by the job, as before.
A libvirtError made in a test takes the message of the thread's last real
libvirt error: in a live run, after another test's closed connection,
"no marker" read "client socket is closed" and the test failed. It now
checks that the move raised that very error, as the test after it does.
The Migrate tab shows a running VM's live migration switch, on by
default. A VM shut down after the tab opened, as one is to move it shut
off, was then refused: "A shut-off VM cannot be migrated live". A
shut-off VM now moves offline whatever the request says about live, as
the tab tells for a shut-off VM; the tuning options are for a running VM
only, as before. An offline request for a running or paused VM is still
refused.
A shut-off VM with TPM state, as every Windows 11 VM, was refused for
migration: the state is a file of the source host, and an offline move
would start it there with a new TPM. Such a VM now migrates as a shut-off
VM with disks to copy does: its UEFI variables are copied, it is started
paused, its CPUs never run, migrates live, which carries the TPM state,
and is shut off on the destination. A shut-off VM with a saved state is
refused before any of that, for every way it moves: started paused, it
would resume and then lose the saved memory.
The clone tab says that a clone gets a new, empty TPM, and the destroy
page that the TPM state goes with the VM.
The Migrate tab offered every other host alike, and its plan showed
neither a file of the same name in a destination pool nor the disks of
the VM's next start, which the job then refused. Now:
- When the tab opens, the hosts are checked first: one that cannot be
reached, or the VM's own host under another record (the same libvirt
host UUID), is shown with why and cannot be chosen, and the disks of
the first one left are checked. The job refuses the VM's own host
under another name too.
- A pool of the destination that has a file of a disk's name is shown
but cannot be chosen for it; a disk no pool can take refuses the form.
- The next start's file disks the migration does not carry are listed;
one not on storage both hosts share refuses the form, as the job does.
A migration needed every disk on storage both hosts share: it was refused
when the destination lacked a disk file, and a file of the same name
there was taken for the VM's own disk.
The Migrate tab now lists the VM's disk files for the chosen destination.
For each disk it offers the destination's pools that keep disk files
(directory, filesystem and NFS pools). A disk on storage both hosts share
can also stay where it is.
A directory counts as shared when both hosts have it as a storage pool
and a marker file created on the source exists on the destination. A
directory the probe cannot tell is never taken as shared.
libvirt copies the chosen disks during the migration: migrate3 with
NON_SHARED_DISK for those targets, and destination and persistent
definitions naming the new paths, where libvirt creates the files.
- A shut-off VM is started paused for the copy and shut off on the
destination; its CPUs never run. Its UEFI variables are copied first,
as the destination would start from the firmware's template. If the
migration fails, the VM is shut off on the source again.
- Refused before anything changes, each disk with its reason:
- a disk neither shared nor given a pool, also one only the next
start's definition has;
- CD-ROM images, read-only or encrypted disks, formats other than raw
and qcow2, and disks with a backing file;
- a pool that is not of disk files, or that has a file of that name,
which libvirt would reuse and overwrite;
- two disks copied to one file.
- The job claims each copy's name in its pool, and the source volume.
- A failed or cancelled migration deletes the copies libvirt made, and
the UEFI variables copy, unless a VM on the destination has them.
- The source files stay and are named in the log. With "Delete the
source files of copied disks" they go, except one another VM or volume
uses; a failed delete is logged and the migration stands.
The NVRAM sharing check uses the same probe: a shut-off move stops when
it cannot be told, and the source file stays.
The API's migrate call takes disk_pools ({target: pool}) and
delete_source.
The live suite run against v3.1.0 on two Vagrant computes (TCP and SSH,
TLS, a socket inside compute1) found two tests that no longer held, and
nothing else:
- A SATA disk added to a running VM is refused by libvirt; since
90c148d a refused form goes back to its page with the reason instead
of a 500. The test expected the 500; it now expects the redirect and
the message, and still checks that neither definition changed.
- The NVRAM copy test built its libvirtError("define failed") and
matched that text, but libvirt-python gives a new libvirtError the
message of the last error its thread recorded: in the socket run a
connection of an earlier live test was closed by then ("client socket
is closed"). The test now checks that its own error object is raised.
The serial console test names its compute and VM per connection type, so
the TCP and SSH host can be the same machine. The shut-off migration
fakes reset libvirt's last error first: a libvirtError takes the message
of an earlier real error in the thread, which a live test can leave.
The move copies the VM's NVRAM file to the destination with libvirt
streams (unless both hosts share the NVRAM directory) and removes the
copy if the move fails; the source's file goes with the existing
cleanup. The undefine keeps the file, as libvirt refuses to undefine a
VM with NVRAM otherwise. A VM with TPM state is still refused.
libvirt keeps snapshot metadata on the source host and a migration does
not carry it, even when both hosts share the disks. Only the shut-off
path refused such a VM itself; a running or paused one relied on
libvirt's own refusal. moveto now refuses it for every state, before
any check against the destination, with the same message.
131 test modules sat next to the code they test; instances alone had
51 of them beside views.py and utils.py. They move into a
tests/ package per app, and the JavaScript checks into
webvirtcloud/tests/js. Each non-empty tests.py becomes tests/test_views.py;
the empty generated stubs are removed.
Imports of the app's own modules become absolute, paths built from
__file__ go one level up, the live helper is instances.tests.livetest,
and coverage omits */tests/*. The suite discovers the same 960 tests as
before.
