How do I cancel a live migration task for a virtual machine?

Cause

You may need to cancel a live migration task if migration progress is too slow or the migration takes too long.

Solution

• Log in to the host system where the virtual machine resides and run the following commands to cancel the live migration task:

  # List running/paused virtual machines on this host
  [root@localhost ~]# virsh list
  # Check the live migration task on the target virtual machine
  [root@localhost ~]# virsh domjobinfo $uuid  //target virtual machine UUID
  # Cancel the live migration task on the target virtual machine
  [root@localhost ~]# virsh domjobabort $uuid  //target virtual machine UUID
