short-form boolean option 'password' deprecated Please use password=on instead

[Juan Rosario]

Hi all - I am currently facing a weird issue starting an instance on a new cluster and will appreciate any help you can provide. Here are some details and please let me know if you need more.

Summary:

I migrated a VM from Cluster A to Cluster B.

Cluster A and Cluster B are running software version: 3.0.2

This error does not happen for every instance. Some instances are starting fine after migrating them

When I run `gnt-instance startup instance_name` on Cluster B I get the following error:

************************************

*

*  Hypervisor error: Failed to start instance instance_name: exited with 

*  exit code 1 (kvm: -vnc :5126,password: warning: short-form boolean option 'password' *  deprecated Please use password=on instead

*

************************************

Thanks in advance

I forgot to mention the OS on all nodes are  Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS

I assume Cluster A runs an older OS/qemu version than Cluster B with
22.04?

However this is just a deprecation warning and not the actual
problem/error. Please take a look in the log on the primary
node of the instance in /var/log/ganeti/kvm/instance_name.log.

Also it would be helpful to post all hypervisor parameters from
gnt-instance info.

Thanks, Sascha.

Sascha - Thanks for the reply. Using `gnt-instance info <instance_name>`, I noticed a difference between the output of the VM that successfully started and those that didn't. Also, this is the output from the /var/log/ganeti/kvm/instance_name.log file.

Also - I forgot to mention that I  verified the QEMU version on all nodes, and it is the same.
