Bug Description
This bug tracker is for errors with the documentation, use the following as a template and remove or add fields as you see fit. Convert [ ] into [x] to check boxes:
- [X] This doc is inaccurate in this way:
There are several issues with this page. I have the feeling that it's an older text (pre-Mitaka perhaps) that was adapted to the openstack client. It needs more modernization than that.
It only covers live migrations and doesn't explain cold migration or evacuation.
The note at the beginning talks about the "nova live-migration" command, then the remainder of the text uses the openstack client.
It requires the reader to specify the migration destination. This may be a limitation of the openstack client, but it's more convenient to leave the selection of the destination host to Nova (the "nova live-migration" command allows that; the openstack client doesn't, it seems).
The warning at point 5 covers migration between Juno and Icehouse hosts and says "This issue can be solved when we upgrade to RPC API version 4.0". The reader (that's me:) doesn't understand anything about RPC versions. Which versions are used in Icehouse and Juno? And Newton? Can we install RPC version 4 on Juno and Icehouse? This warning is confusing.
Point 6 uses "openstack server list" to check whether the migration was successful. Unfortunately this command doesn't tell on which host the instance is running; "nova list --all-tenants --fields name,host" would be better, or "openstack server show".
Commands that allow monitoring, aborting and force-completing migrations are not mentioned.
- [X] This is a doc addition request.
In the sense that I think this page needs more content.
- [ ] I have a fix to the document that I can paste below including example: input and output.
