Added this as a doc bug, here's a copy-paste from an email from Florian: Apologies for the noise. I had mistakenly believed that since the list of --live_migration_flags contained spaces, it was OK to quote the --live_migration_* options. Evidently it's not, as removing the double quotes made the problem go away. My guests now do migrate.
Anne/Thierry: I've thus far been unable to find any documentation that says "don't use double quotes in nova.conf". In fact, http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/compute-options-reference.html uses them in several places, including the --live_migration* flags. That quotes can break things appears to be a known issue as per https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/987473. Is this something that we should mention in the documentation, or is this unexpected parser behavior that needs to get fixed? ** Also affects: openstack-manuals Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1009974 Title: "nova live-migration" fails silently To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1009974/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
