VM's crash during migration between hypervisors or remain in a "Paused" state after a migration

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • We have a situation where VMs that are being migrated are not starting up on the other hypervisor.

  • After migration, some VMs on one hypervisor show as paused.

  • After restarting the vdsmd service some VMs showed as paused.

  • The VDSM logs on the host (in the case of migration, the destination host) contain the following error;
