Hi, What is the difference between the normal migration and the --online migration? Yes I've read the man page, but it is not very explicit: Perform online (zero-downtime) migration: during the migration the VE hangs for a while and after the migration it continues working as though nothing has happened. What does that mean? What actions are made with the --online option that are not done without? arpsend? restart VE on the destination host?
If you perform offline migration, the VE will be stopped (vzctl stop <veid>) before migration. But if you use online migration - VE doesn't stop. HTH, Vasily.
