pseries migration compatibility matrix

This page tracks cross-version migration compatiblity for pseries.

Test case

The test is just to migrate a machine to another with a different qemu version.

The first machine is booted until the login prompt, and then migrated.

We check the migrated machine is responsive and login prompt appears.

No functional test is done.

The following parameters are used: 

       -L /usr/share/qemu-kvm/ \
       -machine $MACHINE,accel=kvm,usb=off -m 2048 -realtime mlock=off \
       -smp 1 \
       -chardev stdio,id=conmon,mux=on,signal=off \
       -mon conmon \
       -device spapr-vty,chardev=conmon \
       -nodefaults \
       -rtc base=localtime,clock=host \
       -boot strict=on \
       -msg timestamp=on \
       -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 \
       -usb \
       -netdev bridge,id=hostnet1,br=virbr0 \
       -device virtio-net-pci,id=net1,netdev=hostnet1,mac=52:54:00:22:ab:40, \
       -device virtio-blk-pci,id=blk0,drive=drive-blk0 \
       -device spapr-vscsi,id=scsi0,reg=0x2000 \
       -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi1 \
       -drive file=$IMAGE,if=none,id=drive-blk0,format=qcow2,cache=none,snapshot=on \
       -vga std -g 1680x1050 \
       -vnc :1$INDEX \
       -cdrom /home/lvivier/ISO/cdrom.iso \
       -boot c \

MACHINE is one of: pseries-2.2, pseries-2.3, pseries-2.4, pseries-2.5, pseries-2.6

== With Fix for pseries-2.3

There is a wall that cannot be crossed for the pseries-2.3 machine between qemu-2.3 and qemu-2.4.

Greg Kurz has proposed some fixes. The following tables are the result of the tests with these patches applied.

spapr: skip configuration section during migration of older machines http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/584655/

migration: allow machine to enforce configuration section migration http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/584656/

Tests have only be replied with qemu-master, other results are copied from previous tables (new results are in bold).
