Hi,

I'm about to dist-upgrade PVE and pve-qemu-kvm will go from 5.2.0-2 (with the qmp timeout / VM freeze issue starting to hit us) to 5.2.0-6 (current stable).

Once the dist-upgrade is done is there a way to "migrate" a running VM from the host it's running to the same host so that I runs with the new kvm version instead of the old?

This would avoid use of network, moving of local disks if any, or a VM reboot.

In my test cluster the Migrate web option does not propose the host the VM is running on as target.
 
This is currently not possible, but something we are working on - a proposal is on our mailing list, though it requires further work.
