[SOLVED] Openvz container live migration from cli

[liska_]

Hi,
as I can not login to gui for few days on either server (no HA) I would like to try migrate containers to second node and reboot first one. I was searching on this forum but I am unable to find proper command. I have just found that I should use pvectl insted of vzmigrate but I have not found on forum or man pages any hint, how to live migrate containers. They are stored on nfs shared storage.

Thanks a lot for any advice.

hi just type
"man pvectl" and scroll down, you'll find this section:

pvectl migrate <vmid> <target> [OPTIONS]

Migrate the container to another node. Creates a new migration task.

<vmid> integer (1 - N)

The (unique) ID of the VM.

<target> string

Target node.

-online boolean

Use online/live migration.

Ah, i was looking at vzctl insted of pvectl, my mistake.
Now I have all containers migrated, but there were problem with some nfs stat. I had to manually start two containers after migration with command pvectl start id.

That should be fixed with latest kernel from pvetest:
