Live Migration
--------------
In order for live migration to work with the default live migration URI::
[libvirt]
live_migration_uri = qemu+ssh://stack@%s/system
SSH keys need to be exchanged between each compute node:
1. The SOURCE root user's public RSA key (likely in /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub)
needs to be in the DESTINATION stack user's authorized_keys file
(~stack/.ssh/authorized_keys). This can be accomplished by manually
copying the contents from the file on the SOURCE to the DESTINATION. If
you have a password configured for the stack user, then you can use the
following command to accomplish the same thing::
ssh-copy-id -i /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub stack@DESTINATION
2. The DESTINATION host's public ECDSA key (/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key.pub)
needs to be in the SOURCE root user's known_hosts file
(/root/.ssh/known_hosts). This can be accomplished by running the
following on the SOURCE machine (hostname must be used)::
ssh-keyscan -H DEST_HOSTNAME | sudo tee -a /root/.ssh/known_hosts
In essence, this means that every compute node's root user's public RSA key
must exist in every other compute node's stack user's authorized_keys file and
every compute node's public ECDSA key needs to be in every other compute
node's root user's known_hosts file. Please note that if the root or stack
user does not have a SSH key, one can be generated using::
ssh-keygen -t rsa
The above steps are necessary because libvirtd runs as root when the
live_migration_uri uses the "qemu:///system" family of URIs. For more
information, see the `libvirt documentation`_.
