I would like to have live migration available from intel to amd. The problem is only in cpu instruction sets? If so, I can use only common sets. Another feature which I forgot is network between VMs and mirroring traffic. Both configurable from WUI. >> Thank you ;-) >> >> >> ______________________________**_________________ >> Users mailing list >> Users(a)ovirt.org >> http://lists.ovirt.org/**mailman/listinfo/users<http://lists.ovirt.org... >> >> > ______________________________**_________________ Users mailing list Users(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/**mailman/listinfo/users<http://lists.ovirt.org...
