bmig -dc_vmaction savevm [-f ] [-J VM_job_name] [-m target_hypervisor_name | -M source_hypervisor_name -m target_hypervisor_name]
bmig -dc_vmaction livemigvm [-M source_hypervisor_name]
bmig -dc_vmaction "livemigvm[wait_trigger_time=seconds: livemig_max_downtime=seconds: livemig_max_exectime=seconds]" [-M source_hypervisor_name]

Saves a VM job to disk.

-dc_vmaction savevm

Saves the specified VM job to disk.

If specified with -m target_hypervisor_name (and, optionally, -M source_hypervisor_name), migrates the VM job to the target hypervisor.

-dc_vmaction livemigvm
-dc_vmaction "livemigvm[arguments]"

LSF administrators only. Manually live-migrates a VM job from the specified source hypervisor to another hypervisor, if available. The VM job remains running after the live migration. This is useful for removing running jobs from a hypervisor, for example, to prepare the hypervisor for maintenance.

The following arguments are optional.

wait_trigger_time=seconds
The amount of time to wait for a target hypervisor to be available for live migration. After this time, the live migration request times out and the running VM job remains on the source hypervisor. Specify the value in seconds.
livemig_max_downtime=seconds
The maximum amount of time that a VM can be down during a live migration. This is the amount of time from when the VM is stopped on the source hypervisor and started on the target hypervisor. If the live migration cannot guarantee this down time, the system will continue to retry the live migration until it can guarantee this maximum down time (or the value of livemig_max_exectime or the DC_LIVEMIG_MAX_EXEC_TIME parameter in dc_conf.cluster_name.xml is reached). Specify the value in seconds, or specify 0 to use the hypervisor default for the down time. This argument overwrites the value of the DC_LIVEMIG_MAX_DOWN_TIME parameter in dc_conf.cluster_name.xml.
livemig_max_exectime=seconds
The maximum amount of time that the system can attempt a live migration. If the live migration cannot guarantee the down time (as specified by livemig_max_exectime or the DC_LIVEMIG_MAX_DOWN_TIME parameter in dc_conf.cluster_name.xml.) within this amount of time, the live migration fails. Specify the value in seconds from 1 to 2147483646. This argument overwrites the value of the DC_LIVEMIG_MAX_EXEC_TIME parameter in dc_conf.cluster_name.xml.

When using any of the optional arguments, separate multiple arguments with a colon, enclose the arguments in square brackets ([]), then enclose the entire livemigvm subcommand string in quotation marks.

For example,

bmig "livemigvm[wait_trigger_time=600:livemig_max_downtime=0:livemig_max_exectime=600]"
