Re: [Xen-devel] Live Migration Error

[Andrés Lagar Cavilla <andreslc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Teemu and Ian for the help.
Now I wonder if somebody can enlighten me on why this problem arises. Seems 
that live migration times out while waiting for the domain to suspend, 
actually before the last round of page transfers starts (which should be a 
relatively small transfer, according to the NSDI submission). Any insights?
Thanks a lot
Andres
