KVM live migration w/o shared storage

[mo_]

Hi,

since qemu introduced live migrations without shared storage quite a while ago, I wanted to make use of that. One would use "migrate -d -b tcp:TARGET_NODE_IP:RANDOM_PORT" in the kvm monitor of the VM one wishes to migrate. The problem is, you need to run "qemu /path/to/disk_image.raw -incoming tcp:0:RANDOM_PORT" on the receiving node's shell. However, theres no "qemu" binary in proxmox. did it get renamed to something else?

Alternatively, virsh allows for the same thing. could one install virsh alongside proxmox to handle these live migrations? Im not even sure if that makes sense (like, if you can even just pop in and use virsh for that while its not actually managing KVMM)

No, that makes no sense.

But AFAIK spirit is already working to integrate that feature.
