[pve-devel] [PATCH v4 qemu-server 2/2] remote-migration: add target-cpu && target-reboot params

[DERUMIER, Alexandre]

Hi Fiona, 

Thanks for the review.

yes, sure it can be split in 2 patch, no problem. (v1 had only
targetcpu param, but I have splitted it in 2 differents param, I just
forgot to split in  2 patches

Well, we have

pct reboot <vmid> 
and
pct migrate <vmid>  --restart  

^_^


We can use "restart", no problem, It make sense if we already using it
in pct migrate.

I think that a true offline migration (without starting any
source/target vm) can be done with qemu-storage-daemon running nbd
server on target &&  qemu-img on source.

This could be also used for online migration with unused/detached
disks.


I'll send a v5 next week, as I'm going to begin a 4 days proxmox
training tomorrow.
