[Users] Live migration of Windows guests with VirtIO disk interface

[Jure Kranjc]

Hello,

this topic is quite old but I got the same problem recently and couldn't 
find reliable information.. Here is the question:

Is live migration of Windows guests, which use VirtIO disk interface 
possible in latest stable release (3.3.3) and latest libvirt on EL6?

We are currently using 3.3.1 on EL6 and plan to upgrade to 3.3.3 this 
week. We can't live migrate Windows guests, which use VirtIO disk 
interface and scsi driver 0.1.59. Further on, Windows server 2012 
doesn't update from virtio 0.1-74 iso as the drivers look the same to 
it. Windows with IDE interface migrate OK but the performance is much 
worse, so that isn't an option.
I can later provide log files and package versions, but before I do 
that, I just want to ask users if I am missing something. Thanks.
