Hi, This is a follow up of the mail regd migration I'd posted a few days ago. My scenario: I'm creating two virtual machines images from an Ubuntu 10.10 iso of RAM size 128 and 700 MB. Using the migrate() , I migrate it from the current physical machine to the destination machine via a 100 Mbps switch LAN connection. BOTH migrations take the same amount of time. Checking out the eth0's transmitted and received bytes after and before the migration, I find that there's NO change in the readings. Using any other method to migrate(virsh,Qemu) takes a substantial amount of time(close to 10 seconds) for the 128 and 700 MB images. How can this drastic change in migration time be accounted for? Are there any other ways to check if the VM has been successfully migrated to the destination(i tried using virsh console after migrate() but for some reason it just hangs. I tried out the suggested patches on various sites but to no avail)? Is pinging the migrated VM from its PM a sure test for successful migration? Thanks guys.
