When migrating a KVM instance that is using a shared storage, such as the iSCSI storage pool in this example, once we initiate the migration with the migrate --live parameter, libvirt takes care of logging out the iSCSI session from the original host and logging it in to the target server, thus making the block device containing the guest filesystem present on the destination server without the need to copy all the data. You might have noted that the migration took only a few seconds because the only data that was migrated was the memory pages of the running VM on the source host.
