Description

To migrate VMs between hosts that do not share storage (storage live migration) by using the xe CLI, not XenCenter.


Instructions

  1. To move VMs between hosts in the same pool that do not share storage (storage live migration), use the following command:
xe vm-migrate uuid=<vm_uuid> remote-master=<host_name_or_ip> remote-username=<username> remote-password=<password> host-uuid=<destination_host_uuid>
  1. Because this is a storage live migration, you must also specify the host name, user name, and password for the pool coordinator (master) even though you are migrating within the same pool.

Issue/Introduction

Use command line instead of GUI to migrate VMs to new pool
