[CentOS-virt] unable to execute QEMU command 'migrate': this feature or command is not currently supported

Hum..if the live migration is not happening on a shared storage, then I
think it is best to have offline migration copy to image and hook up to the
destinated server instead, this is a short-cut path I suppose.

As far as I know (and it definitely worked in CentOS 6 and from CentOS 6 to
CentOS 7) no guest tools are needed. But I tried it nevertheless:
did not work :(

Live migration with shared storage works fine but in my case I need to do
live migrations without shared storage (in order to free running hosts to
upgrade their OSes and setup shared storage)

I suspect either that the qemu-kvm binary from qemu-kvm-ev-2.6.0-28 is
missing this feature or it is called without a needed option. Comparing
running qemu-kvm processes on CentOS 6 and CentOS 7 I can see that those on
CentOS 6 have -enable-kvm on the command lime but those on CentOS 7 have
not.

How can the qemu-kvm binary be checked to see if the feature is enabled?


Thanks, Valentin
