[Xen-users] Re: Live VM migration



Hi,
I guess I didn't rephrase the question properly. I'm aware that we could do live VM migration with different susbnets. I wanted to know that with the help of Open vSwitch, can we migrate to VM to a new subnet and the Open vSwitch is smart enough to route the packets to the new subnet. Will the Open vSwitch be aware that the VM is in a new subnet??? Also is there any way that the VM could get an ip from the new subnet if there is a dhcp configured, and can Open vSwitch route packets to the new VM???
I hope this makes sense.. Thank you for the previous responses

I do hear about guys who change route tables on router (one /32 route
per VM) according to VM migration. I think this can be used, but it
require very tight integration between router reconfiguration and vm
migration.

Technically OVS is just switch, not a router, so you can migrate VM
between different ip networks.

XCP do require to have same 'network' object on source and destination
hosts but no one says they need to have same gateway.
