VPS migration failed by timeout

Symptoms

Migration fails with the error:

SVM_ERROR: vps migration failed by timeout.

Cause

The default timeout value set in /etc/solus/agent.json is too low.

Resolution

To increase the migration timeout limit, add the migration_timeout_minutes parameter to the /etc/solus/agent.json file on both the source and destination Compute Resources (CR):

"migration_timeout_minutes": 180,

Then restart the SolusVM 2 Agent service by running:

systemctl restart solus-agent

Setting this value to 180 minutes allocates 180 minutes for disk copying, followed by an additional 180 minutes for the remaining migration phases. A duration exceeding 180 minutes can be set if needed.
