Red Hat Cluster suite: VM service takes a long time to live migrate
Issue
-
We have a 2 node cluster, while migrating VMs from one node to another it was found that 1 VM is taking a considerably longer time to LIVE migrate than the other VMs. The VM is in a paused state while this happens for approx 15 minutes whereas another vm takes approx 30 secs.
-
Also, the affected VM for which LIVE migration is taking too much time is serving as a RHEV-M server for another RHEV setup.
