Offline migration

+ +

+ Offline migration transfers inactive the definition of a domain + (which may or may not be active). After successful completion, the + domain remains in its current state on the source host and is defined + but inactive on the destination host. It's a bit more clever than + virsh dumpxml on source host followed by + virsh define on destination host, as offline migration + will run the pre-migration hook to update the domain XML on + destination host. Currently, copying non-shared storage is not + supported during offline migration. +
