Description Philipp Hahn univentionstaff 2017-03-27 14:21:47 CEST
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #38877 +++
With QEMU-2.8 as used in UCS-4.2-0 the
- suspend2disk (managedsave) state
- live-migration from previous UCS releases to UCS-4.2
- restoration of snapshots of running VMs
does not work reliably: Either the state is not restored completely and the guest-OS is stuck in some endless loop, or the guest OS crashes immediately and the VM is rebootet.

For the UCS-4.2 release
- an SDB article should be created to track the future progress and provide work-arounds
- this should be mentioned in the release notes for UCS-4.2
- the update should be blocked if running or suspended VMs are detected - overwriteable by UCRV.

OK: preup script VM detection
OK: UCRv update42/qemu
Reopen: The SDB article explains the issues and mitigations quite well. I think it could be improved:
* We can simply state that the VM host server may stay on UCS 4.1 until a fix is available
* Improve the how-to style of the article, and not do into to much technical detail - although we have to state clearly what works and what does not work.
I started an etherpad for my suggestions: https://etherpad-lite.knut.univention.de/etherpad/p/RXI96CtTAP
