It can be issued immediately after migration is started or any time later on. Issuing it after the end of a migration is harmless. +Blocktime is a postcopy live migration metric, intended to show how +long the vCPU was in state of interruptable sleep due to pagefault. +That metric is calculated both for all vCPUs as overlapped value, and +separately for each vCPU. These values are calculated on destination +side. To enable postcopy blocktime calculation, enter following +command on destination monitor: + +``migrate_set_capability postcopy-blocktime on`` + +Postcopy blocktime can be retrieved by query-migrate qmp command. +postcopy-blocktime value of qmp command will show overlapped blocking +time for all vCPU, postcopy-vcpu-blocktime will show list of blocking +time per vCPU. + .. note:: During the postcopy phase, the bandwidth limits set using ``migrate_set_speed`` is ignored (to avoid delaying requested pages that |
