moveto read the VM state for each flag and dropped options that did
not fit it, so a request could run as something else than asked; the
log then named the mode from the form ("live" or "offline"), not the
one used. The API did not log at all and answered "instance migrate is
started" after the migration had finished.
- moveto reads the state once. A running VM migrates live, or without
live paused for the transfer (non-live); a paused VM stays paused; a
shut-off VM moves offline. Live for a shut-off VM, offline for a
running or paused one, and any other state are refused before
anything changes. unsafe, auto converge (live only) and compressed
apply to a running VM.
- migrate_instance logs the outcome for the VM page and the API: the
mode and options used, or the error. The API answers
"instance is migrated (<mode>)" and accepts requests that leave out
an optional option.
- Post copy is gone from the form, the view and the API: only the
flag was set, and without migrateStartPostCopy, which the app never
called, the migration never switched to post copy.
Migration is client-driven: libvirt sends the VM's memory to the
destination's own host name unless a migration URI is given, and the
app never gave one. Where the hosts cannot resolve each other's names
(or the names point at a management network) every migration failed
with "Unable to resolve address '<host name>' service '49152'".
A compute now has an optional migration address (an IP address or a
host name, no scheme or port), editable in the compute form and the
API. A VM migrating to that compute is sent to tcp://<address>
(bracketed for IPv6). Empty, the default for existing computes, keeps
the previous behavior. The compute's host name is not reused, because
for SSH computes it can be an ssh_config alias.
The migration log entry names the address when one is set.
