Hi, I just make the proto patch that calls migration API from
virt-manager.
Form unity point of view,
This proto patch adds Migrate in as same layer as operations for the Domain.
Fisrt, this patch adds "Migrate" to the right-click menu when selected a
domain.
You probably want to send this to et-mgmt-list, which is where virt-manager
development happens, but I will comment on one thing below...
(2)I think it that is necessary to improve usability that there is
"precheking" beofre migrating.
(ex. same cpu family/processor number?, enough free memory?, ...)
I sent an e-mail last month with proposals for doing this within libvirt. I put
up all of the information I have in the libvirt wiki here:
http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/TodoPreMigrationChecks
(if you have more ideas, please add them). In short, yes, we really want to do
some pre-migration sanity checking, and I think that libvirt is probably the
right place to do them. Someone needs to think about it further, though, and
then sit down and implement it.
