Live migration?

[Johii]

I am a little confused about the whole live migration, feel free to flame me, if there is a large sign I have missed where all the answers are on.

I am investigating what kind of virtualization solution and setup is best for me, and have been trying lots of different software/hardware setup's lately. Currently std winxp64 because of school work and compatibility with pastime events.

According to the wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison ... s#Features it is possible to live migrate in the closed soruce edition.
I also remember seeing a migration or live migration button or "thing" grayed out in the Ubuntu 9.04 JJ 64bit (PUEL) version, i haven't got that os installed as i am in
on the one conference 2008 one roadmap item was live migration.

So, is fare as I can tell. Work is being done to make live migration a standard feature?
If it is being worked on how fare is it? Is it on idea base, or is it just around the corner?

Thanks

That wiki is wrong, as far as I know it is not possible yet to do this with VBox, there are only hardware solutions you can use.

What kind of hardware solutions?
