This is the example to use Live Migration function for virtual machines.
This requires 2 KVM host server and a storage server like follows.
Please set DNS or hosts to resolve names or IP addresses normally, first.
+----------------------+
| [ NFS Servver ] |
| nfs.srv.world |
| |
+-----------+----------+
|10.0.0.30
|
+----------------------+ | +----------------------+
| [ KVM Host #1 ] |10.0.0.21 | 10.0.0.22| [ KVM Host #2 ] |
| +----------+----------+ |
| kvm01.srv.world | | kvm02.srv.world |
+----------------------+ +----------------------+

Configure Storage server which has virtual machine images.
For Storage server, it's OK to use NFS, iSCSI, GlusterFS and so on.
This example uses NFS Storage server.

| [2] |
Configure 2 KVM host server and mount a directory provided from Storage server on the same mount point on both KVM server.
This example mounts on [/var/kvm/images]. And also, 2 servers need to be resolv hostname or IP address each other via DNS or local hosts file.

Create and start a virtual machine on a KVM host server.
|
| [4] | It's OK all, execute Live Migration like follows on server which virtual machine is running. After finishing it, virtual machine is migrated on another KVM host like follows. |

root@kvm01:~# virsh list Id Name State -------------------------------------- 2 ubuntu running
root@kvm01:~#
root@kvm01:~# virsh migrate --live centos qemu+ssh://10.0.0.22/system root@10.0.0.22's password: # root password
virsh list Id Name State -------------------------------------- # just migrated
### on another KVM Host ### root@kvm02:~# virsh list Id Name State --------------------------------------- 1 ubuntu running # back to the KVM Host again like follows root@kvm02:~# virsh migrate --live centos qemu+ssh://10.0.0.21/system root@10.0.0.21's password: virsh list Id Name State -------------------------------------- |
