To use kvm, you must either 'modprobe kvm-$arch', or 'insmod /path/to/kvm.ko; insmod /path/to/kvm-$arch.ko'. The new live migration feature (at present more accurately described as "zombie migration", since the guest does not make progress while it is migrated) can be used as follows (assume two hosts A, B): 1. A: Start a VM. Play with it for a while. 2. B: Start a VM with *exactly* the same options, plus a '-S'. The disk images must be shared. 3. A: switch to monitor (alt-ctrl-2), type 'stop'. 4. B: switch to monitor, type 'migration listen'. 5. A: 'migration connect' 6. A: 'migration start offline' 7. A: 'quit' 8: B: 'cont', and switch to display (alt-ctrl-1) -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function
