Re: [Xen-devel] A migration framework for external devices
 
Stefan Berger wrote:
  To be a bit clearer on the idea of the framework: It would consist of 
  a 
deamon running on the target machine whose different plug-ins know how 
  to 
handle the migration of different pieces of state information and know 
  how 
to de-serialize them (which mere 'scp' would not do).
 
 
So an underlying assumption would be that the local and remove real or
virtual devices support serialize/deserialize of state, correct?
 
 
Yes, that's correct.
 
 
 Would also  be very cool if the framework had pre-migration hooks. For 
example, allow someone to write a plugin to verify that the target host 
is qualified and in a good state to accept a migration  before it 
actually starts.
 Also, some physical devices may need to be configured/re-configured on 
the target prior to a migration (infiniband, fiber channel, iscsi) and 
it would be good to have plugins for that as well.
