Hello everybody. I'd like to migrate machines remotely. The matter is that I haven't a so fast connection. While it should be enough for a migration, it would be nice if datas could go compressed. I use rsync with compression enabled but I don't think that vzmigrate does it. Is there any way to do it?
I've tried to pass "-C" to ssh but I don't think it gets used.

Well the vzmigrate program it's actually a bash script and you could modify the rsync command it uses to enable compression.

It is a good idea vzmigrate to support '-z' option. So, I filled the bug report: http://bugzilla.openvz.org/show_bug.cgi?id=640

Thank you,
Vasily.

You might also investigate the HPN patch-set to openssh, might improve your transfer speed a bit on a high-latency link if that is important to you. I happen to use it for my openvz servers on an internal gig-E network to reduce CPU load while transferring large VEs, as the patch also includes the capability to do null encryption after authentication (probably only useful inside a protected network).
