Hi everyone,

virsh migrate --live --persistent --unsafe --undefinesource --copy-storage-all \ --p2p --auto-converge --verbose --desturi qemu+tcp://<uri>/system vm0

Please post your libvirt domain XML.
Does it means that qemu with spdk on top of local storage don't support migration?
QEMU: 2.12.1 SPDK: 18.10
vhost-user-blk bypasses the QEMU block layer, so NBD storage migration at the QEMU level will not work for the vhost-user-blk disk. Stefan

So you added support for vhost-user-blk, but did not fix the NBD migration code. You are on your own, sorry. We can't support arbitrary downstream changes. Please either upstream your patches or make sure to skip it for vhost-user.

Don't know if this is the case that wuzhouhui is using but generally migration should work if all storages are accesible from both machines. The QEMU image and Malloc bdev should be exposed using some kind of network sharing. SPDK on migration target should be configured the same way as on source machine. We are testing this issuing QEMU monitor commands so I can't help with libvirt here. Example setup/test case we are using in one of our tests: Machine1: Expose VM image over SSHF Expose some block device using SPDK nvmf target SPDK nvmf initiator: - connects to Machine1 SPDK nvmf target to access block device SPDK vhost-scsi: - presents block device to QEMU from SPDK nvmf initiator: QEMU VM uses - shared VM image - block device from SPDK nvmf initiator over vhost-user-scsi Machine2: SPDK nvmf initiator: - connects to Machine1 SPDK nvmf target to access block device SPDK vhost-scsi: - presents block device to QEMU from nvmf initiator: QEMU instance - waiting for incoming migration - shared VM image over SSHFS - block device from SPDK nvmf initiator over vhost-user-scsi Some traffic is generated using FIO and then we just migrate VM from Machine1 to Machine2.

My case is different from yours. All storages (including qemu image and malloc bdev) are local, and only accessible from one of hosts. Anyway, thanks for everyone's response. wuzhouhui
