Yes and no. The current implementation transfers a configuration file
that''s essentially the state of the domain (represented in
S-Expressions). Reading in that state will likely result in the
execution of certain scripts.
I can certainly imagine scenarios where you would want to define a
script that''s associated with the bring-up of a VM and that you would
need some mechanism to marshall up the script and send it along with the
VM. This introduces all sorts of interesting problems though.
Basically, I don''t think configuration migration is a solved problem
yet. It''s something I want to explore in vm-tools.
