[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/3 v3] Live migration without shared storage


From: lirans
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/3 v3] Live migration without shared storage
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2009 16:31:37 +0300

This series adds support for live migration without shared storage, means 
copy the storage while migrating. It was tested with KVM. Supports 2 ways 
to replicate the storage during migration:
 1. Complete copy of storage to destination 
 2. Assuming the storage is cow based, copy only the allocated 
    data, time of the migration will be linear with the amount of allocated 
    data (user responsibility to verify that the same backend file reside 
    on src and destination).

Live migration will work as follows:
(qemu) migrate -d tcp:0:4444 # for ordinary live migration
(qemu) migrate -d -b tcp:0:4444 # for live migration with complete storage copy
(qemu) migrate -d -i tcp:0:4444 # for live migration with incremental storage 
copy, storage is cow based.

The patches are against qemu.git tree
