Hello,

Short question about KVM migration. For doing on hytest1.test.lab: virsh migrate --live |/CentOStestbox1/|/|qemu+ssh://hytest2.test.lab/system do I need shared storage or will it copy the machine over via ssh? Unfortunately I don't have the hardware to test this on at the moment :(

I suggest you look at the discussion of the "migrate" subcommand in the virsh(1) man page. It's certainly possible, but it depends on the details of your setup, especially hypervisor, filesystem setup and permissions.

In other words, a general answer is unlikely to be forthcoming.
