Hi, Erik I use cloudmonkey, and get "help migrate virtualmachine": > help migrate virtualmachine (migrateVirtualMachine) Attempts Migration of a VM to a different host or Root volume of the vm to a different storage pool This API is asynchronous. Required params are virtualmachineid Parameters ========== hostid = (uuid) Destination Host ID to migrate VM to. Required for live migrating a VM from host to host virtualmachineid = (uuid) the ID of the virtual machine storageid = (uuid) Destination storage pool ID to migrate VM volumes to. Required for migrating the root disk volume
However, I run "migrate virtualmachine virtualmachineid=ab31a20b-9165-411d-b7d5-xxxxxxxxx storageid=d7f51aae-5c4a-334c-b33f-yyyyyyyyyy" while the VM is in running state, it throw as below: "Error 530, VM is not Stopped, unable to migrate the vm having the specified id" Does it mean cloudstack does not support storage live migration with vmware ? Thanks.
