This test case checks that basic live migration using libvirt between two Fedora 12 hosts works correctly. NOTE: this testcase explicitly requires both the source and destination machines to have more than 4GB of memory to safely execute. Since KVM does support swapping, you may be able to get away with less memory in the machine, but your performance will probably suffer.

How to test

  1. On the source machine, edit the guest so that it has exactly 4096MB of memory.
  2. On the source machine, start the guest.

    $ ping <guest-IP>

  4. Now on the source machine execute:


  5. Shutdown the guest on the destination machine. Once it's successfully shut down, edit the guest on the source machine and give it random, differing amounts of memory: 4097MB, 8192MB, etc. Then repeat the test for these differing amounts of memory.
    1. Fedora 12
    2. Fedora 11
    3. RHEL-4
    4. RHEL-5
    5. Windows XP
    6. Windows Vista
    7. SUSE

Expected Results
