Cannot migrate with vzmigrate

[marco44]

Hi,

I've been trying to migrate VMs with the command line (I have a lot of reorganization to do, and it will be very slow to do by hand).

vzmigrate --live -vv achille 105
Starting live migration of CT 105 to achille
OpenVZ is running...
Loading /etc/vz/vz.conf and /etc/vz/conf/105.conf files
Check IPs on destination node: 212.85.154.74
Preparing remote node
Copying config file
scp: /etc/vz/conf/105.conf: File exists
Error: Failed to copy config file

It's not to complain: I finally found that I should use vzctl migrate. But then, shouldn't vzmigrate be removed ?

Regards

Please use 'pvectl migrate' for migrations inside the cluster.

Note: vzmigrate is usable when you want to migrate back to an openvz only host (without pve)

Ah, OK. vzmigrate is made to migrate between nodes not part of the same cluster then ?

No, only use that if you want to migrate to a non proxmox node (maybe it also works between different proxmox clusters, but we do not really test that).

Ok, I understand now. But should it be noted somewhere in the manpage or anywhere ? Because searching for a way to migrate containers from one node to another led me straight to vzmigrate.
