Initiating and canceling live migration
You can initiate the live migration of a virtual machine (VM) to another node by using the Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS web console or the command line.
You can cancel a live migration by using the web console or the command line. The VM remains on its original node.
|
You can also initiate and cancel live migration by using the |
Initiating live migration
Initiating live migration by using the web console
You can live migrate a running virtual machine (VM) to a different node in the cluster by using the Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS web console.
|
The Migrate action is visible to all users but only cluster administrators can initiate a live migration. |
Prerequisites
-
The VM must be migratable.
-
If the VM is configured with a host model CPU, the cluster must have an available node that supports the CPU model.
Procedure
-
Navigate to Virtualization → VirtualMachines in the web console.
-
Select Migrate from the Options menu
beside a VM. -
Click Migrate.
Initiating live migration by using the command line
You can initiate the live migration of a running virtual machine (VM) by using the command line to create a VirtualMachineInstanceMigration object for the VM.
Procedure
-
Create a
VirtualMachineInstanceMigrationmanifest for the VM that you want to migrate: -
Create the object by running the following command:
$ oc create -f <migration_name>.yamlThe
VirtualMachineInstanceMigrationobject triggers a live migration of the VM. This object exists in the cluster for as long as the virtual machine instance is running, unless manually deleted.
Verification
-
Obtain the VM status by running the following command:
$ oc describe vmi <vm_name> -n <namespace>Example output# ... Status: Conditions: Last Probe Time: <nil> Last Transition Time: <nil> Status: True Type: LiveMigratable Migration Method: LiveMigration Migration State: Completed: true End Timestamp: 2018-12-24T06:19:42Z Migration UID: d78c8962-0743-11e9-a540-fa163e0c69f1 Source Node: node2.example.com Start Timestamp: 2018-12-24T06:19:35Z Target Node: node1.example.com Target Node Address: 10.9.0.18:43891 Target Node Domain Detected: true
Canceling live migration
Canceling live migration by using the web console
You can cancel the live migration of a virtual machine (VM) by using the Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS web console.
Procedure
-
Navigate to Virtualization → VirtualMachines in the web console.
-
Select Cancel Migration on the Options menu
beside a VM.
Canceling live migration by using the command line
Cancel the live migration of a virtual machine by deleting the
VirtualMachineInstanceMigration object associated with the migration.
Procedure
-
Delete the
VirtualMachineInstanceMigrationobject that triggered the live migration,migration-jobin this example:$ oc delete vmim migration-job
