Live migration using qemu only operates on running instances. However when a cloud operator wants to move all instance off a hypervisor they need to be able to migrate stopped and suspended instances too. We achieved this by bringing these instances to a paused state while they are migrated using the 'VIR_DOMAIN_START_PAUSED'. I see fromhttps://review.openstack.org/#/c/85048/ that this idea has been rejected in the past but my understanding is there is still no solution to this issue in libvirt? Is there work in progress to implement a capability for libvirt to migrate offline instances?
