Thanks Markus, but I have a single, self-hosted node, so cannot migrate VMs.
Is it your assumption that F20 will never be updated with libvirt 1.2.9? If that's the case, my best course (in a month or so when F21 is released) is probably to export all my VMs, install F21, reinstall/reconfigure oVirt, import the old Export Domain, and then import my VMs again. -Bob On 11/20/2014 01:20 PM, Markus Stockhausen wrote: > Hi Bob, > > if your are on a cluster with FC20 hypervisor nodes wthout virt-preview > (like we run it with qemu 1.6.2) the simplest way to get live merge features > should be - beware NOT FULLY TESTED! > > 1) choose a single host (we only need a single one if we think about the > required setup) > 2) Install libvirt from virt-preview repos.
