Hello, I am currently running an OpenNebula 6.10.0 infrastructure with four hypervisors, and everything is working correctly overall. However, I feel like there is a role reversal between the “Migrate live” and “Migrate” buttons. When I use “Migrate” to perform a cold migration of a VM, I see in the “Info” section that the VM goes through the states “save\_migrate,” “boot\_migrate,” and then “running.” On the other hand, when I use “Migrate live,” the VM goes through the states “migrate” and then “running.” This seems logical so far. However, in practice, when I do a continuous ping or connect to the VM via Putty, I do not lose connectivity if I use “Migrate” (cold migration), but I do lose connectivity if I use “Migrate live” (live migration). I feel like it should be the other way around, or am I mistaken? Is this a known bug? Has anyone encountered this issue before, or could I have missed something during configuration? Thank you in advance for your help. ---

While doing the migration process, have two terminals open and check the status of the VM in both the source and target host with `virsh list` to make sure they are going through the proper state transitions. ---
