Live Migrations

Purpose

Plan, dry-run, and execute live VM migrations between nodes with pre-flight checks and history.

When to use it

  • Node maintenance / drain
  • Rebalance load across workers
  • Evacuate VMs from a failing node

How to get there

  • Route: /migrations
  • Nav: Run → Live Migrations
  • Related: /migration-factory for batch campaigns (links Transiva/h2kvm where applicable)

Operate from the console (UX)

  1. Open /migrations from the sidebar, workspace switcher, or command palette (⌘K / Ctrl+K).
  2. Read the PageHead / deck line — confirm it matches: Plan, dry-run, and execute live VM migrations between nodes with pre-flight checks and history.
  3. Prefer dry-run / plan when the UI offers it before mutating production.
  4. Start the wizard or job; watch progress and history panels.
  5. Confirm completion on the target inventory (VMs, snapshots, backup store).
  6. Empty / fail: No data → check auth, namespace filter, and that required operators (KubeVirt/CDI/monitoring) are installed; purpose was: Plan, dry-run, and execute live VM migrations between nodes with pre-flight checks and history.
  7. Success: Live inventory or job progress matches the deck line; you can navigate to a related center without re-auth.
