[Qemu-stable] Migration from older Qemu to Qemu 2.0.0 does not work

[Stefan Priebe - Profihost AG]

Hello list,

i was trying to migrate older Qemu (1.5 and 1.7.2) to a machine running
Qemu 2.0.

I started the target machine with:

-machine type=pc-i440fx-1.5 / -machine type=pc-i440fx-1.7

But the migration simply fails. Migrating Qemu 2.0 to Qemu 2.0 succeeds.

I see no output at the monitor of Qemu 2.0.

# migrate -d tcp:a.b.c.d:6000

# info migrate
capabilities: xbzrle: off x-rdma-pin-all: off auto-converge: on
zero-blocks: off
Migration status: failed
total time: 0 milliseconds

The target machine is still running at this point with no output.

Stefan
