SUMMARY
When adding a kvm host to Cloudstack, the agent configuration automatically adds the option libvirtd_opts='-l' to /etc/default/libvirtd. This creates failures for live migrations between cluster hosts. Documentation here https://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/latest/installguide/hypervisor/kvm.html is correct, stating that Ubuntu 20.04 and newer should use the option LIBVIRTD_ARGS="--listen".
The documentation is confusing in that it seems to tell you to make these changes manually, but the host provisioning process modifies all of the files referenced.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Simply adding a host via the web interface will do this at least when the host os version is Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS.
EXPECTED RESULTS
The proper existing settings to be uncommented or at least added to the end of the config files as the documentation states.
ACTUAL RESULTS
Agent configuration process automatically adds the option libvirtd_opts='-l' to /etc/default/libvirtd when the os version is newer than 20.04.
