Re: [Xen-API] XCP 1.6 Beta: Storage XenMotion from command line

[Black Bird <blackbird1758@xxxxxxxxx>]

I couldn't find the syntax you provided in the XS6.1 Admin Guide or the VM Users Guide so wouldn't have found found out without your help, so thanks.

I tried the vdi-pool-migrate command which worked well with a VM running.

I didn't try the new syntax for vm-migrate yet.  Being able to move VMs live between pools (which would include single host pools), and to individual hosts within external pools, is a hugely useful capability for a number of reasons.  The team which implemented this should be commended.

So thanks again for your help.

Storage XenMotion works on XCP, and can be executed from the command
line or the XenAPI.

The syntax for executing a storage motion from the command line is 'xe
vm-migrate remote-master=<network address> remote-user=<root>
remote-password=<pass> vif=<vif uuid>:<remote network uuid> vdi=<vdi
uuid>:<remote sr uuid> [destination-sr-uuid=<remote sr uuid>]'. If you
find that difficult to remember, try 'xe help vm-migrate'.

It's also possible to move a VM's disks while the VM is running, using
the new command 'xe vdi-pool-migrate'.
