Hello libvirt experts,
I am facing the following exceptions during live migrating a virtual
machine from one compute node to another.
file or directory: libvirt.libvirtError: Cannot check QEMU binary
/usr/bin/kvm-spice: No such file or directory
File "/var/lib/openstack/lib/python3.6/site-packages/eventlet/tpool.py",
line 83, in tworker
rv = meth(*args, **kwargs)
File "/var/lib/openstack/lib/python3.6/site-packages/libvirt.py", line
1745, in migrateToURI3
if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainMigrateToURI3() failed',
dom=self)
libvirt.libvirtError: Cannot check QEMU binary /usr/bin/kvm-spice: No such
file or directory
After some investigation, we found that this error is triggered because we
do not have qemu-kvm installed in our container, btw the libvirt is
directly installed on the source node.
I have following questions
Is it possible to change emulator during live migration? I try to to remove
emulator under devices but looks like it does not help.
thank you very much and looking forward for the feedback.

The migration API you've used (virDomainMigrateToURI3) supports
additional parameters. One of the supported parameters is:
VIR_MIGRATE_PARAM_DEST_XML:
/**
* VIR_MIGRATE_PARAM_DEST_XML:
*
* virDomainMigrate* params field: the new configuration to be used for the
* domain on the destination host as VIR_TYPED_PARAM_STRING. The configuration
* must include an identical set of virtual devices, to ensure a stable guest
* ABI across migration. Only parameters related to host side configuration
* can be changed in the XML. Hypervisors which support this field will forbid
* migration if the provided XML would cause a change in the guest ABI. This
* field cannot be used to rename the domain during migration (use
* VIR_MIGRATE_PARAM_DEST_NAME field for that purpose). Domain name in the
* destination XML must match the original domain name.
*
* Omitting this parameter keeps the original domain configuration. Using this
* field with hypervisors that do not support changing domain configuration
* during migration will result in a failure.
*
* Since: v1.1.0
*/
So you fetch a migratable version of the XML (VIR_DOMAIN_XML_MIGRATABLE
flag for the XML dumping API) and update the emulator path. Then feed it
as the additional parameter
