Hi Jason, If cache=none on the disk then migration of the VM won't work right?. I was going through RHEL link https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html-single/Virtualization_Host_Configuration_and_Guest_Installation_Guide/index.html
Migration restrictions ============================ Because device assignment uses hardware on the specific host where the guest was started, migration and save/restore are not supported when device assignment is in use. If the guest operating system supports hot-plugging, assigned devices can be removed prior to the migration or save/restore operation to enable this feature. Live migration is only possible between hosts with the same CPU type (that is, Intel to Intel or AMD to AMD only). For live migration, both hosts must have the same value set for the No eXecution (NX) bit, either on or off. For migration to work, cache=none must be specified for all block devices opened in write mode. Warning Failing to include the cache=none option can result in disk corruption. Enabling this feature will have issues with HA right?
