Manual Live Migration for KVM-hosted VMs

["Gerdisch, Mitchell R (Mitchell)" <mi...@alcatel-lucent.com>]

We have a Cloudstack 2.2.14 system deployed with KVM hosts.
According to the release notes, live migration is supported for VMs in this environment.
Yet, when I select an instance and click on the Actions menu, I do not see the "Migrate Instance" option.

Is there some setting or configuration item I need to tinker with to access this menu option?

Thanks,

This should be available (see http://bugs.cloudstack.org/browse/CS-11613 ), are you using CentOS or RHEL 6+? I am not 100% sure but I do not think it will work with CentOS/RHEL 5.x. If it is the same as XenServer and ESX, the option will be available for root admin only under the instance action menu
