6.2 Migrating a Domain
To migrate a domain from one computer to another identical computer:
1. Create a shared virtual disk to use during the domain migration. See Section 6.1,
"Creating a Shared Virtual Disk for Live Migration". Each computer involved with
the domain migration must have access to the shared virtual disk in the same way,
either as an NFS or a SAN virtual disk.
2. On the Oracle VM Server that contains the existing domain, migrate the domain to
to the remote computer with the following command:
# xm migrate mydomain myremotecomputer
The domain is migrated to the remote computer.
To perform live migration of the domain, use the command:
# xm migrate -l mydomain myremotecomputer
