libvirt users - Feb 2013 - Live migration: Xen to KVM

Hello!

Is there some way to migrate guest OS from one Xen-host to another KVM-host
using libvirt?
(live migration is highly desirable)

(Both hosts have the same hardware, Xen running in full-virtualized mode.)

Live migration: no.
Offline migration: yes - you may want to check out the virt-v2v project
for this.
http://libguestfs.org/virt-v2v/

Remember, since the two hypervisors present different hardware to the
guest, part of the conversion process is preparing the guest to have
drivers appropriate for the new hypervisor.  That's why it can only be
done offline.
