Re: [libvirt] (Resend) Live Migration with non-shared storage for kvm

Support for live migration between hosts that do not share storage was added to qemu-kvm release 0.12.1. It supports two flags: -b migration without shared storage with full disk copy -i migration without shared storage with incremental copy (same base image shared between source and destination). In order to support kvm's live migration with non-shared storage I added two migration flags that user can invoke: VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_DISK = (1 << 6), /* migration with non-shared storage with full disk copy */ VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_INC = (1 << 7), /* migration with non-shared storage with incremental copy */ /* (same base image shared between source and destination) */ Likewise I add complementary flags to virsh migrate: non_shared_disk and non_shared_inc As Daniel B. suggested I also added internal flags to be passed in the "background" parameter to the qemu monitor: typedef enum { QEMU_MONITOR_MIGRATE_BACKGROUND = 1 << 0, QEMU_MONITOR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_DISK = 1 << 1, /* migration with non-shared storage with full disk copy */ QEMU_MONITOR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_INC = 1 << 2, /* migration with non-shared storage with incremental copy */ QEMU_MONITOR_MIGRATION_FLAGS_LAST }; I updated qemu_driver.c's doNativeMigrate and doTunnelMigrate to map the external flags to the internal flags. I updated qemu_monitor_text's qemuMonitorTextMigrate to map the internal flags to the qemu monitor's command line flags. Also, qemudDomainSave ends up calling qemuMonitorTextMigrate, but it didn't support the external flags so I assumed that it was not relevant. I tested the live migration without shared storage (both flags) for native and p2p with and without tunnelling. I also verified that the fix doesn't affect normal migration with shared storage. Here is the diff patch file from the current git: (See attached file: libvirt_migration_ns_100422.patch) -- Kenneth Nagin with may same got I'll and
