[Kimchi-devel] [PATCH 0/3] Live migration backend
From: Daniel Henrique Barboza <dhbarboza82(a)gmail.com>
This patch series implements the first release of the Live (and cold!)
migration in Kimchi.
*** Requirements for a VM migration ***
- shared storage. The disk/storage path must be the same at the origin
and destination.
- password-less login
- enough resorces in the destination host to allocate the VM
Limitations of this first version and possible candidates for future work:
- do not automate the process of password-less login (but it is able to
verify this condition)
- due to the above limitation, the 'user' parameter value is only 'root'
at this moment
- do not verify the 'shared storage' condition
- do not verify same hypervisor/arch conditions
- the origin VM will shutdown after migration (not sure if can be helped)
*** Curl usage ***
curl -u username -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept:
application/json" -k "https://localhost:10001/plugins/kimchi/vms/<VM
NAME>/migrate" -X POST -d
'{"remote_host":"insert_remote_IP_address",
"user":"username"}'
*** Unit test usage ***
The unit tests for this feature needs an additional parameter in the command line
of ./run-tests.sh:
$ sudo KIMCHI_LIVE_MIGRATION_TEST=remote_host_IP ./run_tests.sh test_livemigration
If this parameter is not supplied the unit test will simply skip. The test also
verifies the password-less condition before trying to test a vm migration.
