Oh, you mean like this?
root@huey:/tmp# virsh migrate --live --p2p --copy-storage-all e7f75b9b-9ed4-4f7e-aa86-e481ab911d6f qemu+ssh://10.10.11.204/system --verbose
Yes.
error: Failed to open file '/mnt/store01/virt/e7f75b9b-9ed4-4f7e-aa86-e481ab911d6f.qcow2': No such file or directory
Alas, _this_ is the case mentioned where you have to pre-create the destination file, because libvirt hasn't yet been taught to auto-create it. But with --copy-storage-all in use, you should now be fine just touch'ing the file before attempting the migration.
http://libvirt.org/migration.html should document useful information such as this; would you like to submit a patch to help improve that web page? The sources are in libvirt.git under docs/migration.html.in.
Yep, read that page (several times). At such point I have anything of substance to add, absolutely, yes, I very much want to contribute. I am just starting out building my skills on KVM and libvirt (background is with PHYP on Power) but fully intend to become conversant with the packages.
