Live migration between 2 hosts fails

Hi, I’m trying to test live migration but im having hard time doing it, I tested different versions and configurations with no success, Migration between two hosts is failing with this message:

$ lxc move test1 ibra3:
error: Failed container creation:
 - https://10.40.128.12:8443: Error transferring container data: Failed to run: /usr/bin/lxd forkmigrate test1 /var/lib/lxd/containers /var/log/lxd/test1/lxc.conf /tmp/lxd_restore_820736425 true:

container image is ubuntu 16.04

host is ubuntu 17.04 with kernel:
Linux ibratest-2 4.13.0-21-generic #24-Ubuntu SMP Mon Dec 18 17:29:16 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

on destination host I got this log:

Any hint?
Many thanks

I’d recommend upgrading to the latest LXD first, just in case this helps:

apt install -t artful-backports lxd lxd-client

Then the best first step is to try just a local stateful snapshot or stateful stop, that tends to isolate things to just CRIU and make it easier to look at logs:

lxc snapshot test1 --stateful
lxc stop test1 --stateful

Either of those will have LXD tell CRIU to dump the container to disk.
Any failure should result in a log file in /var/log/lxd/test1/

Hi Stéphane,

Thank you for answering!
I installed the version from artful-backports, restarted lxd and redid the test, but still having the same error :frowning_face:. the stateful snapshot is working the problem is in the restore process

ubuntu@ibratest-2:~$ lxc stop test2 --stateful

What do you have in /var/log/lxd/test2/ ?
CRIU should create one log file per attempt on top of logging to lxc.log.

Can you post the output of lxc info? That should give us an idea of the liblxc version in use, in case it matters somehow.

@brauner do you remember what version of CRIU, LXC and LXD you were using when you got it working last (probably when working with Adrian)?

I asked Adrian just now but I think we simply used the latest CRIU release and liblxc and LXD from master.

Thank you @brauner and @stgraber
It would be great if you can confirm that some combination is working for you
on the other hand, do you have any estimation of when Live migration will be a non-experimental feature? or it is all in hands of CRIU people?

That is indeed mostly in the hands of the CRIU people.

@ibrahim_menem It works perfectly for me with the latest LXC/LXD/CRIU from git. My base system is CentOS VM my containers are alpine and Fedora.

In the logs you attached I see action-script errors and https://github.com/lxc/lxd/issues/4190 also seems related to CRIU’s action-script. So those two might be related.
