[ClusterLabs] Live Guest Migration timeouts for VirtualDomain resources

Ken and Co,

Thanks for the useful information.

I bumped the migrate-to timeout value from 1200ms to 360s , which should be
more than enough time
to successfully migrate the resource (i.e. the KVM guest).  The migration
was again interrupted with a timeout
at the 20000ms (20 second) mark, thus stopping / failing the resource,
which shuts down the guest, then
reassigning the resource to the target node, then cold starting the
resource and guest on the target.

Does anybody know where this 20000ms timeout value gets set?  20sec is
clearly inadequate for a virtual machine
that is running with any kind or I/O or memory intensive workload.  I need
to have a way to change that timeout
value, if not by the migrate-to timeout value, then what?

 Is this internally coded within the class=ocf provider=heartbeat
type=VirtualDomain  resource agent?

 For completeness, here's what I did..

## Show current timeout value.

[root at zs95kj ~]# date;pcs resource show zs95kjg110061_res

  Meta Attrs: allow-migrate=true remote-node=zs95kjg110061
remote-addr=10.20.110.61 target-role=Stopped
  Operations: start interval=0s timeout=480
(zs95kjg110061_res-start-interval-0s)
              stop interval=0s timeout=120
(zs95kjg110061_res-stop-interval-0s)
              monitor interval=30s (zs95kjg110061_res-monitor-interval-30s)
              migrate-from interval=0s timeout=1200
(zs95kjg110061_res-migrate-from-interval-0s)
              migrate-to interval=0s timeout=1200
(zs95kjg110061_res-migrate-to-interval-0s)


## Change timeout value from 1200(ms) to 360s ...


[root at zs95kj ~]# pcs resource update zs95kjg110061_res op migrate-to

>>  This is consistent with my original symptom... the "internal" timeout
value of 20000ms seems to override the migrate-to timeout value in the
resource,
if in fact ... the migrate-to operation attribute is what would control the
migration timeout in this case.


I happened to have full pacemaker debug enabled... so, here's generally
what I see in the /var/log/cluster/pacemaker.log associated with the above
migration and
resources associated with zs95kjg110061.  There doesn't seem to be much

Not sure where the default of 1200 comes from, but I believe the default
is milliseconds if no unit is specified. Normally you'd specify
something like "timeout=1200s".

Yes, ms is milliseconds. Pacemaker internally represents all times in
milliseconds, even though in most actual usage, it has 1-second
granularity.

If your specified timeout is 1200ms, I'm not sure why it's using
20000ms. There may be a minimum enforced somewhere.

Failure handling is configurable, but by default, if a live migration
fails, the cluster will do a full restart (= full stop then start). So
basically, it turns from a live migration to a cold migration.
