+    """Regression test for bug 1797580 introduced in Queens.
+
+    Microversion 2.56 allows cold migrating to a specified target host. The
+    compute API sets the requested destination on the request spec with the
+    specified target host and then conductor sends that request spec to the
+    scheduler to validate the host. Conductor later persists the changes to
+    the request spec because it's the resize flow and the flavor could change
+    (even though in this case it won't since it's a cold migrate). After
+    confirming the resize, if the server is live migrated it will fail during
+    scheduling because of the persisted RequestSpec.requested_destination
+    from the cold migration, and you can't live migrate to the same host on
+    which the instance is currently running.
+
+    This test reproduces the regression and will validate the fix.
