Open Stack

Migrate/resize uses scp to copy files back and forth with the libvirt driver. This shouldn’t be necessary with shared storage, but it may still need ssh configured between the user that nova is running as in order to complete the migration. It is also possible that there is a bug in the code path dealing with shared storage, although I would have expected you to see a traceback somewhere.

> Migrate simply blocks. The instance in in status Resize/Migrate, no errors in n-cpu or n-sch, and it stays like that for over 8 hours (all night). I thought it was copying the disk, but it's a 20GB sparse file with approx. 200 mb of data, and the nodes have 1Gbps link, so it should be a couple of seconds.
