Re: [one-users] slow live migration of VM's

Thanks Javier. The algorithm makes sense and the link pretty much validates what I figured was the process for live migration. Maybe the VM is a lot more active than I thought and it caused a lot of dirty pages. The last VM I have on the server to migrate off is much larger and active, so I gu

Hi all, I was just moving some VM's around as a prep for some server maintenance, via live migration. I moved 3 VM's which were all fairly small in size of 1GB - 3GB RAM and 20GB - 60GB disk. I did the migrations 1 at a time. I was surprised at how long the migrations took and also that each VM
