8.11.1. What is Live Migration?
Live migration provides the ability to move a running virtual machine between physical hosts with no interruption to service.
Live migration is transparent to the end user: the virtual machine remains powered on and user applications continue to run while the virtual machine is relocated to a new physical host.
