2.12.1. Migrating Virtual Machines and Containers Between OpenVZ Servers

OpenVZ allows you to perform two types of migration between OpenVZ servers:

  • Offline migration for stopped and suspended containers and virtual machines.
  • Online (live) migration for running containers and running and paused virtual machines.

Note

Important! For migration to work, a direct SSH connection on port 22 must be allowed between the source and destination servers.
