===============================================
Migrate single instance to another compute host
===============================================
When you want to move an instance from one compute host to another,
you can use the ``nova migrate`` command. The scheduler chooses the
destination compute host based on its settings. This process does
not assume that the instance has shared storage available on the
target host.
#. To list the VMs you want to migrate, run::
$ nova list
#. After selecting a VM from the list, run this command where :guilabel:`VM_ID`
is set to the ID in the list returned in the previous step::
$ nova show VM_ID
#. Now, use the ``nova migrate`` command::
$ nova migrate VM_ID
#. To migrate of an instance and watch the status, use this example script:
.. code-block:: bash
:linenos:
#!/bin/bash
# Provide usage
usage() {
echo "Usage: $0 VM_ID"
exit 1
}
[[ $# -eq 0 ]] && usage
# Migrate the VM to an alternate hypervisor
echo -n "Migrating instance to alternate host"
VM_ID=$1
nova migrate $VM_ID
VM_OUTPUT=`nova show $VM_ID`
VM_STATUS=`echo "$VM_OUTPUT" | grep status | awk '{print $4}'`
while [[ "$VM_STATUS" != "VERIFY_RESIZE" ]]; do
echo -n "."
sleep 2
VM_OUTPUT=`nova show $VM_ID`
VM_STATUS=`echo "$VM_OUTPUT" | grep status | awk '{print $4}'`
done
nova resize-confirm $VM_ID
echo " instance migrated and resized."
echo;
# Show the details for the VM
echo "Updated instance details:"
nova show $VM_ID
# Pause to allow users to examine VM details
read -p "Pausing, press <enter> to exit."
.. note::
If you see this error, it means you are either
trying the command with the wrong credentials,
such as a non-admin user, or the ``policy.json``
file prevents migration for your user:
``ERROR (Forbidden): Policy doesn't allow compute_extension:admin_actions:migrate
to be performed. (HTTP 403)``
The instance is booted from a new host, but preserves its configuration
including its ID, name, any metadata, IP address, and other properties.
