Yep that Length mismatch is expected - the source and destination do have to match.

If the --copy-storage-inc and the --tunnelled libvirt flags are used together, the migration fails. The same command for non-uefi virtual machines (e.g the same libvirt xml without the <nvram> and <loader> tags) works. The command/output error is: virsh migrate --verbose --live --p2p --tunnelled --copy-storage-inc --change-protection --abort-on-error testuefi qemu+tcp://<ip>/system error: internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor: Receiving block device images 2019-02-21T16:20:15.263261Z qemu-system-x86_64: error while loading state section id 2(block) 2019-02-21T16:20:15.263996Z qemu-system-x86_64: load of migration failed: Input/output error If I remove one of the --tunnelled or the --copy-storage-inc flag, it works, for example: virsh migrate --verbose --live --p2p --copy-storage-inc --change-protection --abort-on-error testuefi qemu+tcp://<ip>/system Migration: [100 %] virsh migrate --verbose --live --p2p --tunnelled --change-protection --abort-on-error testuefi qemu+tcp://<ip>/system Migration: [100 %] I have no idea why those two flags combined together produce an error, and only for UEFI virtual machines. here is the libvirt xml definition:
