Migrating VMs
- Thread starter Drax
- Start date
If your VM disks are already on a shared storage which both nodes can access then no, normally nothing else is required.
If your VM uses "local storage", i.e., a storage which is only available locally on the current node but not accessible from the other one then you need to use "local disk migration".
Currently this is not yet available through the webUI, so you'd have to use the CLI tool at the moment:
The VM may not use any other local resources, e.g. a passed through graphic card or passed through USB device, as those are not available on the other node and/or there state is not transferable atm.
