Hi,

I've been digging through the libvirt code and something that struck
me was that it appears that when using qemu libvirt will migrate the
instance with autostart disabled, then sit on the source host
periodically polling for migration completion, then once the host
detects that migration is completed it will tell the destination to
start up the VM.

Why don't we let the destination autostart the VM once migration is
complete?

Libvirt has to have synchronization point on the target machine, so
that we can acquire any disk leases associated with the VM before
the CPUs are started.

Where does that happen? I'm looking at libvirt/qemu, specifically this code path on the target:


remoteDispatchDomainMigrateFinish3ParamsHelper
remoteDispatchDomainMigrateFinish3Params
virDomainMigrateFinish3Params
qemuDomainMigrateFinish3Params
qemuMigrationFinish
qemuProcessStartCPUs
qemuMonitorStartCPUs

Thanks,
Chris
