schestowitz[TR3]                                    <blockquote>Dec 16 10:49
schestowitz[TR3]                                        <p>One of the standout features introduced in this release is the ability to perform live storage migration of virtual machines (VMs). This capability makes it possible to seamlessly move a running VM between different storage pools, enhancing flexibility and resource optimization. </p>Dec 16 10:49
schestowitz[TR3]                                        <p> While doing so, the VM must also relocate to another server within the cluster to prevent simultaneous QEMU instances on a single server. As a result, administrators now have a more dynamic environment where resources can be balanced on the fly. </p>Dec 16 10:49
