No.

Yes. It works fine with NEWLY started VMs but if the VMs are running 
more than 1-3 days. It stops working and the VMs just crahs during 
migration.

> The "stop" and "cont" commands have new semantics on the destination machine during migration. Previously, the outcome depended on whether the commands were issued before or after the source connected to the destination QEMU: in particular, "cont" would fail if issued before connection, and "undo" the effect of the -S command-line option if issued after. Starting from this version, the effect of "stop" and "cont" will always take place at the end of migration (overriding the presence or absence of the -S option) and "cont" will never fail. This change should be transparent, since the old behavior was usually subject to a race condition.
i don't see how this could result in a crash of the whole VM and a 
migration not working at all.
