Yes, a guest can be started or stopped while migration and/or live-commit are underway. You probably have to keep the qemu process around (stopping the guest but keeping qemu alive is different than stopping qemu altogether), which is where the persistence factors into it (once we have persistent bitmaps, then stopping qemu altogether becomes possible). > I don’t talk about the dirty bitmap tracking I understand that persistence > and live-migration support > is still in the works, I’m just interested in the snapshot/commit part. > > Thanks > Peter > -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
