This requires 2 KVM host server and a storage server like follows.
Please set DNS or hosts to resolve names or IP addresses normally, first.
+----------------------+
| [ NFS Servver ] |
| nfs.srv.world |
| |
+-----------+----------+
|10.0.0.30
|
+----------------------+ | +----------------------+
| [ KVM Host #1 ] |10.0.0.21 | 10.0.0.22| [ KVM Host #2 ] |

root@kvm01:~# virsh list Id Name State -------------------------------------- 2 ubuntu running
root@kvm01:~#
root@kvm01:~# virsh migrate --live centos qemu+ssh://10.0.0.22/system root@10.0.0.22's password: # root password
virsh list Id Name State -------------------------------------- # just migrated
### on another KVM Host ### root@kvm02:~# virsh list Id Name State --------------------------------------- 1 ubuntu running # back to the KVM Host again like follows root@kvm02:~# virsh migrate --live centos qemu+ssh://10.0.0.21/system root@10.0.0.21's password: virsh list Id Name State -------------------------------------- |
