On January 5 I asked for comments on adding libvirt support for live migration with non-shared storage on kvm. I did not get any comments so I am repeating my request: 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). I suggest adding these flags to virDomainMigrate. If I'm not mistaken qemuMonitorTextMigrate is the function that actually invokes the kvm monitor. Thus, it would be necessary to pass the flags to qemuMonitorTextMigrate.. But qemuMonitorTextMigrate does not have a flag input parameter. I think the least disruptive way to support the new flags is use the existing "background" parameter to pass the flags. Of course this would require some changes to the upstream functions that are invoked for migration. What do you think? Kenneth Nagin
