Migrating a VM Root Volume to a New Storage Pool (XenServer, VMware) You can live migrate a VM's root disk from one storage pool to another, without stopping the VM first. (KVM) When migrating the root disk volume, the VM must first be stopped, and users can not access the VM. After migration is complete, the VM can be restarted. Log in to the &PRODUCT; UI as a user or admin. In the left navigation bar, click Instances, and click the VM name. (KVM only) Stop the VM. Click the Migrate button Migrateinstance.png: button to migrate a VM or volume and choose the destination from the dropdown list. If the VM's storage has to be migrated along with the VM, this will be noted in the host list. &PRODUCT; will take care of the storage migration for you. Watch for the volume status to change to Migrating, then back to Running (or Stopped, in the case of KVM). This can take some time. (KVM only) Restart the VM.
