Migration of KVM guests with Cluster Suite does not work, xm is used instead of virsh

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • KVM and Cluster Suite is Technology Preview but migration (with clusvcadm) does not seem to work. When migrating a virtual machine, the xm command is used instead of the required virsh.

  • Example of a service definition in cluster.conf (note that this is a broken config, path should be omitted):

    <vm autostart="1" domain="simple" exclusive="0" hypervisor="qemu" migrate="live" name="vftp1" path="/etc/libvirt/qemu/vftp1.xml" recovery="relocate"/>

Environment

  • RHEL 5.4
  • Virtual Guests with KVM
