"Block migraton" option on the VM´s Advanced tab

DustinB

If I had my choice, Prevent Migration is more understandable.

Disable Migration, while it means the same thing, doesn't naturally come out of the English language.

@olivierlambert @DustinB Thanks! It's always helpful to have a native speaker's perspective.

Happy to help, worth noting that if a setting like this is enabled on a given VM, there should also be some sort of visual indication on the home screen of XO to annotate that these VMs won't move unless this is disabled.

@abudef The English translation is meant to be "Prevent Migration".

I think some lines were crossed ha.

I agree it really needs to actually read "Prevent Migration", that will then make it pretty clear.

Looks to be correct on the current release of XO from Source and reads as "Prevent Migration"

Hi! Is there a VM parameter that saves this "Block migration" UI button?

I wasn't able to identify which one it is with command:

xe vm-param-list uuid=<VMuuid>

Thank you!

olivierlambert

I never remember the exact option myself, we should document it @thomas-dkmt

In the meantime, @Team-XAPI-Network can give the answer

How do you mean? Is the XO option not persistent?

XO sets these parameters:

# xe vm-list uuid=$UUID params=blocked-operations
blocked-operations (MRW)    : pool_migrate: true; migrate_send: true

Which you can set like this yourself:

# xe vm-param-set uuid=$UUID blocked-operations:migrate_send=true
# xe vm-param-set uuid=$UUID blocked-operations:pool_migrate=true

It is persistent but people usually want to modify it manually in some cases Thanks @andriy.sultanov !

@andriy.sultanov Thank you for your answer! That's what I was looking for. I was looking directly at the VM parameters, with

xe vm-param-list uuid=$UUID

and I was directly searching for "blocked_migration". Now I know what to look for.

@olivierlambert Thank you for pinging the appropriate team for the answer.
