Re: [pve-devel] [RFC qemu-server++ 0/22] remote migration

[alexandre derumier <aderumier@odiso.com>]

Hi,

thanks for working on this !

I'll be able to test it soon as I'll need to migrate 200-300 vms between 
2 datacenter soon.

I think it could be great to add optionnal "tag" option to targetbridge, 
as it could be different on target cluster.

Also, we should transfert vm firewall config.
