Yep. The only thing live migration does is move the running domU from
its current memory location on Host A, to a new memory location in
Host B. It does not move any config files, and you MUST use shared
storage to have a working domU on Host B after migration. You CAN
migrate a domain that has storage local to Host A but not Host B,
however, what happens is that on Host B, you get a running guest that
can not access its filesystem, and much hilarity ensues when you try
to do anything that involves accessing the filesystem.
So, the requirements are:
Host A --|
----- Shared Storage (I use Fiberchannel storage for this)
Host B --|
And, if you want to permenantly move the domU from host A to host B,
you need to move the domU config file from hostA to hostB as well.
Also, you could have Host A be a mirror of Host B (failover scenario)
so if Host A bites the dust, you can run the domU to your heart's
content on Host B, since B has the config file too...
YMMV, of course...

So, how does one move a domU from one physical server to another
physical server if there's no shared storage in between?
