Hi,

I'm facing a strange issue while doing a migration from an hypervisor to another one. The migration takes for ever to start moving the memory. The VM had no workload what so ever, just a basic ubuntu image. The versions on the hypervisors are: libvirt 1.2.21, qemu 1.2.3

Command to launche the migration: virsh migrate --verbose --live --abort-on-error --tunnelled --p2p --auto-converge --copy-storage-inc --xml vm-6160.xml 6160 qemu+tls://<destination_hypervisor>/system

You are copying storage too. It takes 5 minutes to copy the storage. The memory migration starts after the storage migration converges.
