summary: "Will OpenShift Virtualisation live migrate a virtual machine?"
---

During the demo with the Acme Financial Services team one of their traditional hypervisor team asked if you can show them a live migration for a running virtual machine.

Thinking on your feet you remember the Fedora virtual machine you've were tinkering with last night in the `demotestblah17` namespace on the cluster.

The Acme Financial Services team have put you on the spot, can you quickly pull off a virtual machine live migration? 😅


## 3.1 - Initiate the live migration

For this task, your team must live migrate the virtual machine named `fedora` in namespace `demotestblah17` from one node to another.

No command line is required. However you will need to investigate why the machine currently reports `LiveMigratable` to be `False`.

Documentation you may find helpful is:

## 3.2 - Check your work

If the virtual machine in your **demotestblah17** namespace has been live migrated to another node successfully please post a message in `#event-anz-ocp-virt-hackathon` with the message:

> Please review team [name] solution for exercise 3.

This exercise is worth 25 points. The event team will reply in slack to confirm your updated team total score.
