There is also migration info on that page, but it's fairly basic so
not sure how useful. Worth checking, just in case though. :)
Cheers for the clarifications. I've been experimenting with 2
Qemu+KVM+libvirt systems but I cannot get the block migration to work:
virsh # migrate --live ISPConfig qemu+ssh://192.168.2.9/system
--tunnelled --p2p --persistent --copy-storage-all
error: internal error process exited while connecting to monitor: char
device redirected to /dev/pts/5
qemu: could not open disk image /mnt/storage/Virtual
Machines/KVM/ispconfig_drive.img: No such file or directory
I run the virsh on the current host and 192.168.2.9 is the new VM host.
I see the following on the current host in message output:
Feb 16 14:57:54 cyberxps qemu: could not open disk image

This looks to me like at some point the block migration is failing
('internal error ... monitor'?), but why? On the target host I can only
see the same error messages but no clues as to why it fails.
