The qemu-kvm and libvirt migration process is as follows: e.g: migrate from VM1 to VM2 (1)virtual machine migration process by qemu-kvm (qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.209.el6)is as follows: ==>VM1 1.set password 2.continue ==>VM2 3.start and wait for migration(--incoming) ==>VM1 4.migrating 5.migrate finish 6.close VM1 ==>VM2 7.clear password 8.set password 9.continue (2)virtual machine migration process by libvirt is as follows: ==>VM1 1.set password 2.continue ==>VM2 3.start (--incoming) 4.set password 5.wait for migration ==>VM1 6.migrating 7.migrate finish 8.close VM1 ==>VM2 9.clear password (here we lost the password !!) 10.continue The migration process by libvirt will cause the migrate fail, because qemu-kvm will clear password before it continues. So, I move step 4 just before step 10.
