GitHub user winterhazel added a comment to the discussion: KVM: cross cluster 
migration - hidden feature?

@ingox cross-cluster live migration with KVM has been supported for a while, 
but the documentation was never updated.

The "UI bug" was actually a bug in the `findHostsForMigration` API, which the 
UI uses to show which hosts are suitable for migration. There was a regression 
in 4.20.3 and 4.22.1 that made it stop returning hosts from other clusters. It 
was fixed through #13452, which will be available in 4.22.2 and 4.23.0 (and 
4.20.4, if this version releases).

One interesting note regarding the KVM live migration that I don't see 
mentioned often: it uses the libvirt connection between the hosts to transfer 
the disks, so direct migration between primary storages that are not shared by 
the source and destination hosts is also possible. I know this works for NFS, 
SharedMountPoint, and local storage (probably also for CLVM and CLVM_NG). 
However, there were a few regressions between versions 4.20 and 4.22 that 
blocked live migration to SharedMountPoint (without workarounds) and were not 
addressed yet (see #13390).
