My guest machine has 2 partitions (80GB + 1TB). Both of them is on LVM. I want to transfer all disks to another machine with minimum downtime. I transferred another machine with nc. It takes 4 days and during transfer my VM was off.

I tried to make snapshot after then transfer dirty pages. But AFAIK with LVM its'not possible. My target machine has no LVM setup and free unpartitioned space. So on target machine disks must be raw file images.

<disk type='block' device='disk'>
  <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none'/>
  <source dev='/dev/vg-datastore/lv-vm-1138'/>
  <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>
  <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/>
</disk>
<disk type='block' device='disk'>
  <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none'/>
  <source dev='/dev/vg-datastore-sata/lv-vm-1138-2'/>
  <target dev='vdb' bus='virtio'/>
  <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x08' function='0x0'/>
</disk>

I have an installed dnsmasq DHCP server. I want to assign different IP address from defined range. For instance my IP range is 10.11.12.10 - 10.11.12.50 but I want to assign different IP (192.168.1.15) for specific MAC address. Is this possible?

I try to lease but it doesn't work. Sample configuration file:

strict-order
user=libvirt-dnsmasq
pid-file=/var/run/libvirt/network/guest.pid
except-interface=lo
interface=br0
dhcp-option=3
no-resolv
dhcp-range=10.11.12.10,10.11.12.50
dhcp-no-override
dhcp-leasefile=/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/guest.leases
dhcp-lease-max=6

I want to assign external static IPs to my KVM guests. I do not prefer a NAT solution. What should be the configuration of network and routing tables?

I manually assing a static IP to guest. I can send ICMP packages from guest to host and gateway. I can send icmp packages from gateway to guest directly. But i cannot send icmp packages from host to guest.
