So the situation: Two KVM hosts with libvirt, multiple LVM based guests Want to do: Migrate a LVM based guest directly to the other host over an secure connection I know that migration is possible when the VM disks are stored on an NFS, GFS2 filer/cluster etc. So would it be possible to do an offline migration directly with netcat or something like that? Would be greate when someone could help me. Best Regards
