Finding virtual server crash information

Edit online

For specific causes of a virtual server crash, libvirt writes crash information to the QEMU log file of the virtual server.

The following reasons for a crash trigger a message:
  • A disabled wait state
  • Wrong interrupt
  • Program check loop
The default location for the QEMU log of a virtual server is /var/log/libvirt/qemu/<VS>, where <VS> is the name of the virtual server.

A message provides information about the PSW and states the reason of the crash.

Example: 
s390: psw-mask=’0xXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’, psw-addr=’0xXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’,
crash reason: disabled wait
